I love Max was too much of a gentleman to answer the piddle question. All race fans know the real answer…. they go in their suits. James Hinchcliffe talking about it is hilarious. I mean, what do people think happens when you gotta go? And why do so many people ask it?
This guy is super autistic
Experience Azerbaijan 🙂
This guy lives and breaths racing. No fashion shows or woke dei rubbish.
you are my champion Max. dont worry about the past weekend!!
What’s up with F1 racing and the USA????? Money honey, money
How do f1 drivers take a leak? Don’t ask Kimi, he doesn’t have the drink!
I can really feel how he thinks most questions are really stupid lol
He really gonna wear his jersey everywhere he goes
I love Max 😂😂😂
One the least explanatory episodes. He mostly answered just generally. Things which everyone with common sense could figure out, or he just said it depends individually and you never know.
Pretty well explained unlike the shorts that came out of this video, which makes it seem like he gave one word answers.
Love this yapper, can listen to him all day maxplaining
