Please Stop Asking Max Verstappen About How He Crashes All Of The Time
Please Stop Asking Max Verstappen About How He Crashes All Of The Time-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:15

Formula One driver Max Verstappen said at a recent press conference that he “might headbutt someone” if journalists (and other people, too, maybe?) keep asking his car in F1 lately. It’s not the cute and loving kind of headbutt like a pet cat does, though. He seems mad.

Who wants to get crashed into by the head of a dude who can’t stop crashing? No one, probably. Plus, Verstappen already answered the question—quite elegantly, we might add. Here’s what he said, from :

Asked on Wednesday evening in Montreal what he needed to do this weekend to avoid a repeat, Verstappen said: “Not hit the wall! It’s as simple as that! And I don’t need to change my approach — it’s just a little bit more finesse I guess. Sometimes s— happens.”

(“S—” means “shit.”)

Because no one wants to get headbutted by the human torpedo of F1, here’s a simple list of suggested questions for journalists and anyone else out there who wants to have a conversation with our good ol’ friend Crashin’ Max. (Don’t call him that to his face.)

How is the weather? How are these days? If you do headbutt someone, how mad would you be if we made it into a viral GIF? Can we wear GoPros, in case you headbutt us? What if this becomes a thing people actually want to experience? Would you start a kissing-booth style headbutt station at F1 races, $25 a headbutt? What is every part of an F1 race like, except for the part where you crash? (Is that one safe to ask?) Do you crash your street cars often, or is it just your F1 cars? (Ask from a safe distance from head since this one may be off limits, too.) Are you a cat person or a dog person? If you could put on teams other than their own for a weekend, which team(s) would you put them on? Same thing, but for Ricciardo. Would you rather fly or be invisible? Don’t say both! Why do you think you didn’t ? Definitely not the crashing, right? If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be? How long until you join Fernando Alonso in the ranks of ? If you’re not first, are you last? It’s the , isn’t it?

That should hold the conversation over for a little while. After that, you’re on your own.

Jalopnik is not responsible for any physical butts to the head by Max Verstappen as a result of these questions. You’ll have to take that one up with him.

When Ayrton Senna Had A Joke On Williams And Sonic The Hedgehog
See that ‘Roadkill Hedgehog’ sticker on Senna’s 1993 McLaren MP4/8? It was his message to Williams and their very fast Frenchman Alain Prost. Both Williams F1 and the European Grand Prix were sponsored by SEGA and their Sonic the Hedgehog franchise at the time. McLaren could have used that money...

Matt Kenseth's NASCAR Feud With Joey Logano Is The Gift That Keeps On Giving
Remember the end of last year, when NASCAR’s headlines were all dominated with between Matt Kenseth and Joey Logano? It’s baaaaaaaack! This time, Kenseth blamed Logano for contact during today’s Talladega race and gave him a bit of a warning as they were both outside the infield care center. The...

The Scariest Engine
The Scariest Engine
I strongly believe that the Lancia Delta S4 Group B prototype has to be the nastiest, deadliest and most potent automobile ever created by a major car company, mostly because it’s powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine built by crazy people. The good folks at dug up this video from...

Meet The Progenitor Of The Carbon Fiber Chassis
In 1981, McLaren won the British Grand Prix with the world’s first carbon fiber monocoque race car, the MP4/1. Today, all high-end road cars use the same technology, and we can thank John Barnard (and Salt Lake City) for that. When John Bernard got back from the United States after...
