Max Verstappen Gets Taste of His Own Medicine as GP Lambiase Creates Viral Meme in Aftermath of Dutchman’s Outburst

Since Red Bull’s Hungarian GP fiasco, one question has popped up repeatedly: When will Max Verstappen and Gianpiero Lambiase reconcile? The race engineer saw Max as a “younger brother,” so their conflict in Budapest was especially upsetting. Many even thought the heated radio messages could see the end of the GP-Max duo. But, is it so easy to let go of a bond that took time to build? Probably not. Because knowing how close the duo is, it’s hard to imagine one without the other.

And look, they’re back to talking terms. Max Verstappen and Lambiase were together in the paddock. It looked like the race engineer was telling something to the 3x World Champion. Thus recreating the iconic ‘Maxplaining’ meme! Although unintentional, GP Lambiase’s hand gestures proved he was explaining something to Max. However, their topic of conversation remains a secret.

SkyF1 captured this hilariously endearing moment. The duo was seen around Red Bull‘s motorhome ahead of FP1. While Verstappen was in his team jersey, Lambiase donned an all-black outfit. Max was listening to his engineer attentively. Looks like, GP has played UNO Reverse on the Dutchman! Verstappen usually ‘maxplains’ to other drivers, but here his ‘elder brother’ gave him a taste of his own medicine.

It’s great to see Red Bull’s power duo return to normal. Their Hungaroring disruption although disturbing was also disheartening to a great extent. Luckily, Max and GP Lambiase are back to having conversations. However, Lambiase’s unintentional creation of the ‘Maxplaining’ meme is being revered. So, aren’t you curious to know what this meme is about?

Max Verstappen and his habit of ‘maxplaining’ everything to the fellow drivers

The term ‘maxplaining’ is a cheeky spin-off from ‘mansplaining’. This simply means to impart your knowledge as if the listener were waiting to know everything you had to say. Fans coined the term ‘Maxplaining’ when they saw how enthusiastically Verstappen enjoys explaining things to other drivers. From the intricate workings of a car engine to the right way to fold a fitted sheet. When in doubt look out for the ‘Flying Dutchman’ because he knows it all.

Max, the known Geography nerd, can speak about cities and countries without getting bored. He has done it before, and if something slightly tickles him, we’re sure he won’t disappoint. It’s interesting to see the vast knowledge he has of various topics. But boy! He does entertain his fans (and also his fellow drivers) with his ‘big-brain’ conversations.

Fans truly want GP and Verstappen to reconcile. And probably, they have done it already. While the Dutchman was seen listening to the engineer, Gianpiero pilled a ‘maxplaining; move on his “younger brother”. An endearing moment, sparking hopes of them shaking hands and shrugging off the past. Fans are expecting another GP-Verstappen magic at the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix.
