Man, as someone new to F1, I don't get the hate either. I hear people talk about legends like Schumacher all the time, and I think to myself, man, I wish I could've seen him in his prime, I wish I could've experienced that. And Max is absolutely a legend of that calibre. These records don't lie, we'll be debating if Max is the GOAT twenty years from now, and it really pleases me that I'll get to say that I saw those records set and this legend at his peak.

Watching a race go crazy, and wondering if maybe Max will put it in the wall, like with that scare at Eau Rouge in spa, or seeing a questionable tire decision that drops him down the order, or having to start in the rain with 5 laps left, all the while wondering if he'll manage to hold up his once in a lifetime bid for a world record?

It may not be as exciting as the crazy battles happening behind him, but it's crazy to me how many people want to call it boring. Or hell, how many call the whole season boring, despite the rest of the grid seeing these insane swings in position.
