Gustavo: "What really impresses me about Max is how genuine and transparent he is with us. When he gets out of the car and the guys ask, 'How's the engine?' he says the exact same thing he tells us on Discord as he does in interviews. Of course, he opens up a bit more with us; sometimes he finishes FP1 and tells us, 'Damn, this is really bad.'"

Hector:"Do you have this direct contact after every session?"

Gustavo:"Yes, we do. Right after a race ends, he’ll tell us something like, 'The rear wing didn't close again, I lost 50 pts of downforce, and this just isn't working well.' What he says in interviews matches what he tells us. Of course when it comes to contracts or things he doesn't want to disclose, he keeps that private—which makes sense, it's his personal business. But when it comes to racing, he always opens up. He gives us scoops like, 'Oh, that battle was great, I managed to dodge him!' It's amazing for us."
