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.

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

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!
