The day Max finally decides to retire, I’m of course going to be upset but I’m genuinely going to be so excited for him. We all know how much he’s looking forward to it and he can finally be free from all the pile ons from media and fans. For the first time he can just do what HE wants, when he wants.
I can already picture it. Him sitting on a beach somewhere with a gin&tonic and probably his own kids running around (while his 100cats are waiting at home). No more diet plans or strict workout routines (which we know he hates) and just living a quiet life surrounded by his family and friends.
He’ll of course go on to probably drive WEC, Le Mans and focus most of his time and money into forging a pathway from sim racing to real life motorsports.
And don’t get me wrong, Max is very clearly passionate about F1 but he hates everything that comes with it- fame, PR, the show element, the exposure. I think when he’s finally ready to leave it behind he’s going to feel a sense of freedom and god damn does he deserve it after everything he’s gone through.
