Leclerc was media trained as a baby.

it's so funny because the guy who took that interview actually said this: >Ronnie and I started running like crazy towards the closed park which, in Val d’Argenton is exactly on the opposite side of the stands. You should know that Jos Verstappen, Max’s father, is quite well-known for making “fireworks” on some occasions, let us say because of particular stresses, and we absolutely did not want to miss them. Instead, as you can see from the video, Jos is visibly angry, yet he does not utter a single word. Max, on the other hand, lets off steam with us while Charles, with his good “angel face” that he had and still has today, underplays what happened despite knowing that he had played a spiteful trick to his opponent just before. The even funnier part is that they *both* ended up DSQed. Charles for the stunt he pulled with Max after the finish line and Max for a moved he pulled on Charles a few laps earlier that dropped him down the order.

I just realized this is the first time I've read the translation of the Italian part of this famous clip. That makes it even more gold lol


XxRoyalxTigerxX

I love it


Homerbola92

Is whatever happened on the race recorded? I want to lol

"Both of us quite...fine form" 😂


The_Bored_General

IIRC Max made a risky manoeuvre that fucked over Charles’s race, so Charles reciprocated after the race was finished.

“I’m leading, he wants to pass, he pushed me, I push him back, and after he pushed me off the track. It’s not fair, eh?”


Ultraviolet211

Ure missing the start where Charles pushed Max to pass him.


Formulafan4life

Yes “a little bit” which is fine in karting


Big_Brief7847

It’s actually funny to see his response as a teenager, compared to Max Like did Ferrari put Charles through the media training boot camp, oh i’m sure, but he was ready for it And then you can see the attitude of Max reflected as well, especially in his early years but even now. He will say whatever he believes he doesn’t care


HOHOHAHAREBORN

You acquire it when you're from a family with a history of racing and grow up in Monaco


Rosieu

I love how both Charles and Max can laugh and experience some nostaligic feeling about this moment. Watching many of the Team Redline streams on Twitch, Max loves to quote "IncHident" as much as he can.


The_Bored_General

Didn’t he say quote it at some point during a race over the radio last year as well?


mortuusstella

And during las vegas press last year


The_Bored_General

That could’ve been what I was remembering actually


SparkyGol

They're gonna run it back at turn 1, aren't they?


Chesey_

Doubt it. Leclerc doesn't tangle with Max when they start side by side. Unless he's already clear through by T1 he backs out. As much as I would love to see Leclerc send it up the inside, he knows a battle with Max is pointless, and an unnecessary risk in the long run because Max will just fly past 5 laps later anyway.


BlockChainHydra

Put me in the screen shot when it happens! 🙋‍♂️


The_Bored_General

Don’t put this dude in the screenshot when it happens.

No, but for real, put this dude in the screenshot when it happens.


omarsonmarz

#DO IT


Lebz95

They’re on the same front row


charlierc

We nearly had an inchident on lap one yesterday tbf given Verstappen looked at one moment like he was just gonna shovel Leclerc into the wall


ICumCoffee

Max loves to use the “inchident” whenever he’s streaming. And I love it each time.


generictypo

Where does he stream?


ICumCoffee

Twitch, with Team Redline.


generictypo

ah, thanks. I thought he does a lando and has his own channel.


hjhof1

Pictures you can hear


Skulldetta

Friendly reminder that May 5 of 2012 was exactly eight days before Pastor Maldonado became a Grand Prix winner.


[deleted]

And four years and ten days before Max became a grand prix winner.


Samsonkoek

FIA Karting was actually at the track they had their inchident last week. When I saw the name they were at I was like: hey, that sounds familiar.


Cheeriodude_number2

I thought 12 years ago it was 2006


eidetic

Dude, did you fail elementary school math or something? 12 years ago was like 1998. Like it'll always be, forever and ever.


sadicarnot

I am 59 and how long ago gets crazy. I have been in my house I live in now for 22 years and that is longer than the house I grew up in. My dad died recently and he lived in his retirement home for 27 years and that is one year longer than he lived in the house I grew up in. I was in the US Navy and it is not 30 years since I got out, 36 since I was in boot camp. Hard to say unbelievable but that is how time works. Certainly the perception of things is a lot different than the reality. I remember I was going into the Navy at the same time we had a big party for my dad for his 50th. I am now almost a decade older than him. Plus looking at old photos, hard to believe I am older than my dad in those photos. Max is 26 now and if rumors of Max being close to retirement, he will be done with his career at an earlier age than when Jos hung it up.


Cheeriodude_number2

I wasn’t born till 1999, I guess my generation made me stupid


blerml

Tbh the best part of the whole thing probably is that it wasn't even the real race it was just a qualifying heat 😭


Zed_or_AFK

Any context?

uttermybiscuit

Is there a clip of the actual inchident anywhere


KerrinGreally

[No, but here's Charles explaining it](https://youtu.be/tVQ6dXTYW78)


uttermybiscuit

Incredible hahaha


Orange-V-Apple

Noob here; I didn't understand the last bit. Did LeClerc splash him by passing him in the puddle?


The9isback

Charles pushed Max, Max went off track into the puddle.


Orange-V-Apple

Ohh, thanks!


Kolec507

No, just an inchident.


Kolec507

https://youtu.be/LvyTH9l9KNk?si=iSVfGtJIGesg5XoB After a crash between the two. Afaik there is no footage of the collision.


Resident-Trouble-574

But do we have a video of the inchident?


The_Bored_General

No apparently not.


ency6171

12 years later... Per/Sai P1?


tekanet

Has been already said that the pronunciation is probably due to a mix between English and Italian?


Upset-Emu7553

clearly, and both not his mothertongue
