Based from what I see from JP de Oliveira's post, there's lot's of truth to it. And Verstappen & F1 fans commenting under are full of stupidity due to bias & lack of understanding of racing itself.
There's many variables that can impact a time.
Atsushi Miyake drive the car has different conditions compared to Max's. The intensity of the rain, the wind, and temperature are vary depending on time.
Atsushi Miyake possibly not push the car as he wanted. Likely don't want the car get crash before giving it to max. Or even Red Bull tell to make Max look fast, and probably not a lot of people aware, this is can be staged. But the only people knew the situation are Verstappen, Miyake, and other people that involve into making that video.
I don't think JP here slandering or make an offence towards Max, which is different case from Maro Engel Max exchange regarding time laps. JP here just concern about the video can make a negative narrative of #SuperGT because there is some concrete concerns.
We can admit Max has the talent, but sometimes these fans need to have some humility to make themself not looking like an idiot just to defend him, and be open to any possibilities to the truth. And the fans arguing towards a racing driver is like a person angry at a food critique for not liking the person's favorite restaurant.
I’ll never forget seeing this photo of Yuki in the streets of Faenza, helping with the flood recovery in 2023. 🥹
Whatever his next steps are, he’ll always be known as a great racer with an even greater heart.
