Eddie: If I had a nickel for every time I almost died in front of the love of my life, I'd have two nickels — which isn't a lot, but it's kind of weird that it happened twice.
Buck: ...The love of your life?
Eddie, gently squeezes Buck's hand, smiling softly: Yeah, the love of my life.
Buck, shyly: W-wow, yeah, okay.
Do y'all remember this? this iconic photo and interaction. So
that's Max right there.
And people from Twitter have brought things to my attention like the fact that Max and Charles knew eachother since they were FIVE. fucking five years old. that's like 20 years together
Am i late to the party? omg this changes soooooo many things. i thought they knew each other from back when they were 12 or 13. but it was 5. omg they've known eachother forever. they've been together forever.
also the "inchident" race where charles won? that was the race that made that man leave Max at the gas station. no wonder max was mad for years 😭
max “unprompted ‘there are some beautiful drivers here’ while playing guess who” verstappen you could just call charles a coward to his face it would be easier
It's always so funny to me because if you just look at current lestappen you seemingly have sweet angel - faced pr princess Charles and then supposedly aggressive mad Max, who's terrible but has a soft spot for Charles and has "calmed down in recent years" and if anything Charles befriended Max rather than the opposite.
But if you actually look at their history and personalities you realise that Max is a bit of a socially - awkward person who just wanted to befriend Charles and believed in their shared success, while Charles is a terror that was thinking up 500 different ways to be rid of Max before reaching 18
Max is much better than me because if I’d spent my youth being outwardly terrorised by this close to feral opponent who I still maintained great respect and admiration for only for a great PR campaign to be run to make it seem like it was the OPPOSITE growing up I would probably bite something.
