Tinini: Max was very shy. He spoke little, his gaze always fixed on the ground.

Max: I mean for most of Sector 2 you run just on the engine, so what is that 450, 500 horsepower? Something like that, which is I guess less or more or less what a Formula 3 car has, but with F1 downforce, so you can imagine of course that that is not very exciting to drive. But honestly I don't want to sit here and complain again because probably someone will shoot me outside the door, but you know, like I said before, I'm mentally just adjusting to it and I'm trying to make the best out of it. Even though of course it's not what I like, not what I love to do in Formula 1. But yeah, I can also sit at home and drive nothing, but that also doesn't do anything. So I'm just trying my best.
