So, is Max already rattled before the season has even started? I watched a >bit of the testing this week, and what I saw and heard didn't suggest Red >Bull have pulled it together and given him another dream car to drive.
He's got a hefty amount of points on his super licence and needs to keep
his nose clean until June before some of them are wiped off. If he's got a >gash car, I don't think he'll be able to keep it in check; he's proven

He's a great driver, don't get me wrong, but he is a petulant, spoiled
child, and there will be fireworks at some point!
I totally agree. He is spoiled brat. And good driver.
But.
Being good, even great driver, doesn't mean that he is alowed to
behave like this. Personally I don't care about swearing, but his
driving habits - this shows lack of sportsmanship and respect of
fellow drivers.
Therefore I don't like him and don't respect him. (And I'm not even
English).
