I think he's as good as gone. He seems eager to move on to other things.

So many people are eager to be a winner but it must be so tiring/boring winning constantly with literally zero competition.

Maybe, maybe not. Lewis seemed to not care too much about winning races once he secured a world championship. Max seems to want to win every race.

Max often talks about the impact racing has on his personal life. I didn't see too much comments about getting bored. His hobby is sim racing.

[–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Yes but there’s a marked difference between winning every race having competition for it and winning every race by 40 seconds because your car has a rocket boost or something

[–] SatouKazuma@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Partially agreed, but I just think he's tired of open wheel racing in general. My guess is he'll do something like Formula Drift or DTM next.

I for one hope he gets into midget racing, just because I grew up with a guy that became a semi-decent midget racer and I’d like Max to go bring attention to and dominate that

[–] SatouKazuma@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What is midget racing?

Really small cars with plenty of power!

Interesting! That would be certainly be one of the options Max could go for!
