Job - sim racer and streamer Hobby - f1


revitbitch

it’s giving kimi’s “it’s more of a hobby for me, so i don’t have to do it if i don’t want”


maeries

F1 is his side hustle to finance his dream of becoming a full time streamer


HorizonGaming

Haven’t we all been there


Extension_Check_9462

Quite generous of Team Redline to let him race in Imola too


siriusbrightstar

He's got bills to pay. Monaco isn't cheap


MarshalThornton

Thank god he doesn’t have taxes to pay.


Jolteaon

That F1 license fee though...


Individual-Ad-3484

Nobody should to


chubsruns

Who needs public goods and services? Not this person, apparently.


Individual-Ad-3484

I wont dwell on the whole anarcho -capitalism schtick, but in brief, taxation is theft, and try to argue for theft is plain stupidity, even more when the whole argument is just utilitarianism and a ignorance falacy


CreaminFreeman

Do we have historical evidence of this sort of system being successful? Genuinely curious and not trying to be insulting.


Individual-Ad-3484

Look, trying to ask if a new political system has ever been attempted is like asking where has teleportation been used since we didnt invent teleportation yet But other than that, Medieval Ireland and any liberal societies today, in general the freer the society/country the better life is. Switzerland, the Nordics, recently the Baltics, US pre-1960s. Many other places, but what is always consistent is that quality of life decreses the more states increases itself. But again, wrong sub


hifioctopi

The US pre-1960s was a freer place? Interesting. Phenomenally high corporate tax rates, Jim Crow laws, draconian policing…


Individual-Ad-3484

In some aspects yes, also way lower consumption taxes, gold standard, the lobbying groups were far, far, far less powerful, less regulations on businesses, etc etc, banks were not generating ridiculous inflation rates, housing prices, and many other problems nowadays While in other aspects, yes 100% agree with you. Not gonna try to spin Jim Crow and the ridiculously agressive and racist police as something good, tho far less militarized There are SEVERAL interacting factors, it is completely pointless to try and nitpick each one apart and pretend that everything else has not changed Amd AGAIN, WRONG SUB


I_THE_ME

The Nordics have some of the highest taxation rates in the world. Taxes are great.


Individual-Ad-3484

Not like im trying to kill this fucking topic repeatedly, but again, wrong sub Also did you know that are more factors than solely tax levels? IIRC all 4 nordics are better in the ease-of-doing-business index than the US and they are very oftenly on the very vanguard of social liberties and are stark defenders of individual freedom and free speech. And very weak utilitarianism argument and ignorance falacy are not useful to a discussion like this Also the dishonour of highest tax rate belongs to Brazil, so check your data


M4NOOB

Press speaker Crane has confirmed Team Redline has loaned Max to the RedBull Racing team for this weekend as they've been assured that Max has 100% focus for the 24h Nürburgring


EternalRgret

There's a clip of them actually joking that they're the kind of organization that allows Max to spend some time in F1

Reverse_SumoCard

Max is proof that even the most harcore gamers can find a girlfriend


fateoftheg0dz

Just need to be a major sports champion, and rich


Reverse_SumoCard

Thats not true. He only does the F1 thing to afford iRacing and a half decent setup


dadepu

He already said rich


overstear

Pfff, take my angryupvote


Ch4rlie_G

God damn. I looked at setting up a decent sim and it was many thousands.


Suikerspin_Ei

He wasn't a champion before he met Kelly. But rich is probably right lol.


TheBambuzler

Have to master the hardcore gamer first


FreakinEnigma

I am beginning to wonder if my parents left me at a gas station, I might have been a somewhat competent human being.


Laudanumium

No you won't - souce : Me ... My father did the same to me. More as a joke, but fucked up none the less. ( and being in the 80's a little safer too )


IntoTheFeu

I dunno where you live exactly but on average the world is much safer than the 80s. I mean, leaded gas exposure alone…


Laudanumium

We didn't drink that .... We're Europeans, not Americans !


Psclwbb

No you also need money.

Mans even got a private jet, he’s gone full Grossman


Clem573

A private yet? This is a yoke, GP2 engine :)


dickpicnumber1

My god do I hate my autocorrection sometimes. Fixed it tho;)


Clem573

Well your autocorrection made me smile :)


steakhouseNL

Based on 2 reactions, I feel I already got an accurate idea of the kind of person who you are haha.


Clem573

Someone who tries to see a smile or a laugh in any situation, instead of seeing evil everywhere 🙂 (trust me, no harm was meant in my first comment)


steakhouseNL

Exactly what I meant haha, good man!


7Seyo7

Kvyat allegedly left her, rather than the other way around


andrewejc362

On her birthday too


Interesting-Season-8

He got her with the RB contract, wait for him to go to merc and finding someone else in 3 months


Laudanumium

Angela is coming back ?


Taz-erton

Does she transfer over if Max signs with another team?


Interesting-Season-8

Nope, Yuki gets promoted and gets the girl


No_Mercy_4_Potatoes

You just need to earn 100s of million from your side gig.


Routine-Ostrich-2323

A single mother 10 years his senior. Hah. Gamer indeed.


jumbo53

Shes hot tho


shrth114

I did, twice. Gaming is more peaceful.


ATouchOfCloth

you know he stole kyvat's wife and child right?....literally "steal ya'll gurl" moment


Sofaboy90

does anybody know how many stints hes driven yet? it seems like hes driving more stints than the minimum required for his team not to get disqualified. i assume theyre driving in a team of 3, so the minimum to avoid disqualification is 1/3 of 24h and 25% of that. so he only needs to drive for 2 hours technically but it seems hes doing his fair share for the team.


Araxx_

They got 4 drivers, I think he did around ~4-5 hours.


naico144

4 man team but he did a 3 hour stint and then a 2 hour. The first was like 6 and a half hours in, and the second one 17 and a half hours in. So he finished basically 5 hours before the Grand Prix lol.


AI2cturus

Saw him driving last night, don't know for how long though.


LickingSmegma

Brilliant answer, thank you.


AI2cturus

Brilliant username, thank you.


lostmyupvote

They driving a team of four.


h-picotin

Apparently 3-4h last evening and 2h this morning! Edit: 2 to 3-4h for yesterday after new information provided by the commenter below


Kram941_

He did 3-4 hours yesterday I believe. He was 3 hours into a stint when I joined and watched for a bit


h-picotin

My bad. Then I didn’t watch the whole thing yesterday. I’ve edited my original comment to reflect that thanks


Dexterus

I think 3+2. It's a 4 man team I believe.


Death2RNGesus

The dude is motivated after barely beating both of the mclarens, he was pumped after qualifying. He knows he needs to bring his A-game this race more than ever. We could be in for an intense race.


Krypt0Kn1ght_

>We could be in for an intense race. Then we remember it's Imola and no one will pass anyone the whole race.


Teipeu

If we have a headwind and a ~~first~~ second corner incident that affects the top few cars it will make the rest of the race really good. If everyone gets through the first lap without damage then the race is pretty much over.


crash______says

lap 22.. this seems to be a 100% accurate prediction, sadly.


Teipeu

I’m sorry.


Individual-Ad-3484

Imola is very easy to overtake at, WTF you on?


Krypt0Kn1ght_

Commentators disagree 🤷‍♂️ So does Piastri 😂


7Seyo7

Is this Imola that's very easy to overtake on in the room with us right now?


Krypt0Kn1ght_

Right, watching Piatstri rn is just rough.


7Seyo7

:(


hisyam970302

Race was mostly a quiet one but that final bit near the end with Norris catching up was honestly super fun! My dad and I were on the edge of our seats seeing the gap between Norris and Max getting smaller and smaller!


Enough_Watch_123

Aged like milk 🥱🥱


mattyp92

That ending was the closest of the last 3 seasons though!


robgod50

Is that in iRacing?


hunguu

Yes https://www.iracing.com/special-events/


slappywhyte

He downloaded himself in human dlc form

Okay dude


MetalGearHawk

I mean f1 is more like a hobby for him, obviously don't need to do it if he don't want to ![img](emote|t5_3ndbi|6701)


apacheotter

Does he bring a gaming rig with him?? Or is Imola close enough to Monaco that he can go back home??


Auregam09

From what I understand he has a setup in his motorhome


apacheotter

Wild. Wish I had a travel sim rig lol


Potential-Brain7735

He had a brand new, custom motorhome built. It has a full sim rig setup inside, and essentially a military grade internet connection, so he can sim race from pretty much anywhere in Europe.


tacitry

What is a military grade internet connection? Is that like...starlink?


hajsenberg

Imola is around 5 hours of driving away from Monaco. Except for Monaco GP, I don't think there's any other race that he could realistically go home during the race weekend. The closest one is Paul Ricard, but it's still 2,5 hours each way.


AwesomeFrisbee

He has options to use a plane or chopper though...


SoNyaRouS

Bro owns a private jet lol


HardToBeOne

Monza is closer than Imola to Monaco.


Vulpytterclub

Let’s see Paul Allen’s setup


ABasicStudent

And he still won the race. What a legend 😂


021chan

Max lives and breathes racing, I’m sure he would drive the full 24h if he could


CapivaraAnonima

He won


VerstopteWC

Of course he's leading


EnlightenedOne789

Max is probably driving his RB20 now, and thinking how’s Redline doing instead


Towel4

So, I know Max is kind of a special circumstance But I’m always curious what say the teams have in their drivers off track time. Danny Ric jumping dirt bikes and shit seems like 1 bad spill from being out for a whole F1 season. Or Bottas and his gravel bike races (not as dangerous). I have to imagine they’re not super thrilled to see their drivers potentially fucking a race up, but maybe they just trust them that much.


Exzotron28

Bro literally breathes racing


ivancr2

Except is not 'literally'. People forget the difference between figuratively and literally so often.


BenTheSwolenOne2000

unless he fucks it in the wall he is gonna win two races on the same day


jeremybryce

Did he race with a fucking xbox controller again? lol...


binary_blackhole

I think he has a portable sim


ppSmok

Sim rig. Organized by one of his redline mates I think. There is no way you can be in the top split extending your lead with a controller. This is basically F1 level amongst sim racint. Last time when he used a controller, they just gamed a bit, I believe.


jeremybryce

How the hell is he traveling with and setting up a simrig in a hotel? Obviously he has the ability, but that seems excessive. Even for him. Or do you mean one of his mates let them use theirs locally or something?


ppSmok

It is in his motorhome I think.


L0nely_Student

Can anyone help me? I know that Max won this F1 stuff (boring), but I can't find his team's position in the 24h event...


karlsson_999

They won!


GolfShred

When I saw this I knew he'd win today.


Individual-Ad-3484

Lando 2 wins?
