Remember Vegas 2023 with that freak sewerlid incident Sainz had for which he even got a penalty!
Max was the only one that dared to speak in the media how ridiculous that was. All other drivers and teams were urged not to say any bad words about the Vegas GP because it was F1's pinnacle for maximize profit.
Same goes for the situation that paid(!!!) spectators were denied entrance to their seats on the stand. I don't know how expensive Vegas F1 tickets were, but those fans got like a $200 voucher for the official giftshop there for missing out. (you probably can't even get a T-shirt for that as prices are ridiculous...)
Again, ONLY Max dared to say something in the media about that (he couldn't believe his ears and would've destroyed the place if that was him).
No one else in the paddock said anything in fear of the FIA/F1 group.
And apparently members here also don't like to hear this. Says a lot about such persons.

I for one rather like to see the drivers speak their minds (which Max only does, even Martin Brundle likes that about him) instead of being a good MBS/Domenicali puppet....But I was raised with the notion that openness and honesty are good virtues. Maybe that's different on where one lives.

Spot on (!)
