“Don’t think this is a slam dunk for Lewis Hamilton, these two are really pushing each other … They’re lapping about a second quicker than the Mercedes in front of them … Here goes Max Verstappen, down the inside on Charles Leclerc. It’s the old switcheroo from Leclerc though, he’s got him on the exit, oh brilliant stuff, and positions exhanged, one after the other, in the space of ten (10) meters. Crowd loved it, I loved it, what a race this is … [Watch this, Crofty] … Oh, I’m watching it, Martin, don’t you worry.”

Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc battle for P3 (aka lestappen porn at last 😭🎉✨) | 2022 United States Grand Prix

Of course, Max wasn’t happy back then either; he made that loud and clear on the radio. But when they asked him - right after that whole ordeal, no telemetry or analysis available to him yet, in the height of his disappointment - whether he thought Charles had crashed deliberately, he said:

But Max didn’t stop there. He defended Charles further:

You know… Monaco, the track where quali is everything and where it’s impossible to overtake, where he was clawing for every point in the championship, while others were snarking and questioning Charles’ motives, where a year later he had clear suspicions about his own teammate immediately (May 29, 2022):

When it came to Checo, he also didn’t hold back advocating for quali rule changes for drivers who cause a red flag (May 29, 2022):

And yet, not for a single fucking second did Max Verstappen even consider questioning Charles Leclerc’s integrity, and he basically called you stupid if you did. This was the same angsty, red-faced teenager who raged “he’s just not fair!” on a rainy day 10 years ago. But here he is, 10 years later, defending that same boy with the stupid floppy hair because he knows him, what kind of competitor he is, what kind of person he is. He cannot even entertain the idea that Charles is capable of cheating. And this - this - is exactly why their rivalry will always remain unparalleled for me.

“We had to do the shot too many times, I got tired of taking a bite and eating a whole donut, decided to give it a lick and that was the one we went with.”

there’s so much emphasis on getting in shape and exercising, but it all just assumes that everyone can already do these exercises to begin with.
