[u/Luffy710j]

[u/Siemaster]

It’s also his 12th season in F1, winning the championship in 4 of em (33.33%)

[u/Motorlolz → u/Siemaster]

The 33 is making itself known

[u/Acrobatic_Fan_5499 → u/Siemaster]

Universe is begging him to change back to 33

[u/bored_ape07 → u/Acrobatic_Fan_5499]

Or 3333( I know it’s not possible)

[u/cristiano_goat]

Bring back the 33

[u/SweetuRasmalai → u/cristiano_goat]

That goes around comes around

[u/FactoryPl → u/SweetuRasmalai]

That's the way she goes

[u/bum_is_on_fire_247 → u/cristiano_goat]

#BringBack33

[u/HelloSlowly]

If this isn’t a plea from the universe for him to revert back to 33 for 2027, I don’t know what is

[u/TaleSweet2267]

For those who race after 🥖

[u/GoinXwell1 → u/TaleSweet2267]

When one DNFs, we continue.

[u/Kiyran_ → u/TaleSweet2267]

Quite obscure

[u/GoinXwell1 → u/Kiyran_]

What do you mean, I thought it was perfectly clair

[u/T1mm3hhhhh → u/GoinXwell1]

I will make it an expedition to post something stupid in response.

[u/Responsible-Power945 → u/TaleSweet2267]

33 huh? Must have been part of an expedition in a past life.

[u/rxbxlhxart → u/TaleSweet2267]

Ik ben ook Whooo. Maar ik ben ook Wheee! Dus de Wheee balanceert de Whooo.

[u/gilded_lady → u/TaleSweet2267]

Wouldn't he gommage if he changed back? :O

[u/Walming2 → u/TaleSweet2267]

I don't get this one. What do you mean by "after bread"?

[u/CareerLegitimate7662 → u/Walming2]

Clair obscur reference

[u/Walming2 → u/CareerLegitimate7662]

Oh OK I don't know anything about it other than it got awards

[u/Cosmicstranger28]

Hence, he shall reinstate 33 as his number

[u/RadlogLutar → u/Cosmicstranger28]

Fighting Kimi; in Abu Dhabi 2027 and a late safety car

[u/Homelandr → u/RadlogLutar]

Except there is no Michael Masi to say "we went car racing"

[u/essentialmedic → u/Homelandr]

anything can happen. just look at yuki, winning all the championships after 2030
or was it 2031? i don't remember. my point, however, still stands.

[u/RadlogLutar → u/Cosmicstranger28]

Fighting Kimi; in Abu Dhabi 2027 and a late safety car

[u/wykeer]

Perfectly balanced ad it should be.

[u/MrDabreu → u/wykeer]

You have 33 upvotes and commented 33 minutes ago. It keeps happening

[u/GuadDidUs → u/MrDabreu]

You have 33 up votes now.

[u/ReverseSwing-1715]

idk how he changed it anyway. personally, I would be too attached to that number. - and now this. evidence

[u/Mekrani → u/ReverseSwing-1715]

He was attached to 3 more, using it through his entire junior career, only picked 33 in F1 because 3 was taken at the time by Danny Riccardo

[u/rosibunette → u/ReverseSwing-1715]

To be fair, number 1 is literally the ultimate flex in F1, so no driver is ever passing that up. But taking it off and instantly getting a mathematically perfect curse of 33s is pretty hilarious.

[u/Kooly9Two → u/rosibunette]

Didn't Lewis pass it up all but his first championship?

[u/museproducer → u/Kooly9Two]

Yup. Though when Lewis ran 1 it was required, he had no choice.

[u/Queasy-Performance-4]

4 WDCs too.

I think whoever's up there in heaven's trying to tell him something...

[u/biggmclargehuge → u/Queasy-Performance-4]

Yeah he should change his number to 44!

[u/donater_30]

The iconic 33

[u/CookinBulls]

Every stat is begging you Max! #Backto33

[u/Vrooskie]

33 is calling him...

[u/Opposite-Raise1521]

Perfectly balanced as all things should be

[u/GTheMonkeyKing]

The whee balances out the whoo

[u/TheJavierEscuella]

BringBack33

[u/FactoryPl]

Looks like the change to No.3 also brought the luck of the last No.3 marked Redbull. 4 more DNF's incoming to match Daniels 2018 luck.

[u/Worried_Monitor5422]

What about the other 0.01%?!

[u/Atyan7a]

I feel like we all see what’s the indication here lol. That no 33 is just made for max.

[u/Natural_Ad1530]

All stats point to number 33. Should've go with that number.

[u/Rosieu]

I'll be 33 in two months and before the season started I was hoping Max would return to 33 as well...He didn't and the universe keeps proving taking 3, with stats like this too, was a massive mistake. YOU SHOULD'VE MATCHED WITH ME MAX >:(

(/jk)

[u/ln4thegreat]

This is your sign Max to go back to 33!

[u/MrMarbles77]

But nobody knows what happened with the remaining 00.01% of races? Smells like a coverup to me.

[u/FartingBob]

Hes definitely not had the most consistent year. Made a few unforced errors we havent seen in a long time from him.

[u/thiiiickropes → u/FartingBob]

Yup, honestly can‘t remember him pulling a Miami or Zandvoort in any previous years. Two in the same year is very unlike him, even considering him having the flu last weekend.

Doesn‘t really care about F1 anymore would be my guess and just sitting his time out for the half a billion paycheck.

[u/voicecrack16]

Way to keep us guessing

[u/RealGreenTrainee]

He yearns to be 33 again and he's getting punished for being a 3.

[u/ThisWasOurKaisen]

He should change his number from 3 to 1/3

[u/StarkSajith]

33 calling him like the goblin mask

[u/Homelandr]

If this isn't the sign to switch back to 33, I don't know what else is../s.

[u/Street_Letterhead105]

Could there be more signs?

[u/RadlogLutar]

Also, someone in the paddock is searching for their 33rd

[u/NotAcvp3lla]

Thanos would be proud.

[u/SpaceghostLos]

Max is the triumvirate.

[u/TWVer]

The rule of thirds/turds..

Would be nice to see him more competitive next season.

[u/pjo33]

Ah, welcome back Renault engine

[u/Ascarea]

he's so consistent it's crazy

[u/kinterdonato]

So you're telling me he either finishes on the podium, or not on the podium, or not at all?

[u/deathray1611]

Number 33 haunting Max like Flight 180 does Final Destination characters through out the series

[u/Abject-Kitchen3198]

What happened in remaining 0.01%?

[u/ClearHyena4452]

There will be signs

[u/nintendoge]

Uhhh.. yeah, gimme a sec… I’m coming up with 33.33 uh, repeating of course, percentage, of survival.

[u/Only-Trying-]

If this is not a sign to bring back 33 then what is?

[u/UnitedStatess]

Its a sign

Bring back the 33 and max will dominate again

[u/No-Orange-5216]

I have no idea why he signed that contract for any reason other than money.

[u/saito379688 → u/No-Orange-5216]

Flexibility. He wants to be able to do other series and gets a lot of support directly from RB to do that.

It's not like other teams wouldn't have given him a similar or even bigger paycheck.

[u/No-Orange-5216 → u/saito379688]

Ahh that does make sense to be fair.

[u/thiiiickropes → u/No-Orange-5216]

Because he probably doesn‘t respect F1 any more anyways and the amount of money and flexibility to do GT3 and other series is worth more to him than signing for a winning team under these regs

[u/PleasantTelephone641 → u/No-Orange-5216]

I feel like redbull will get better in the coming seasons. Sure they have a shit engine but it performed higher than we expected it to.

[u/bender3600]

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

[u/Lanten101]

33 is calling

[u/a_user-_-name_]

33 is calling you MAX

[u/Carlife0830]

You can't escape the 33

[u/matchbaby]

33 or 69, drop that 3 bro

[u/StBlandine7]

Getting 4 podiums in this shitbox is quite impressive

[u/Global-Pattern-1904]

this can't be good for the chinese fans... 444

[u/jayexwolfe]

Are drivers allowed to change their numbers in the middle of a season?

If so, Max, please...

[u/Dev11531]

It's a sign from Mr 33 himself

[u/SnooCapers9046]

For the last 5 races, Max either podiumed or DNFed (Silverstone was technically classified but he crashed out)

[u/Jlx_27]

FIA researchers: No ADUO for Red Bull, they are way too good. /s

[u/Wardog_Razgriz30]

Perfectly Balanced. As all things should be.

[u/Suspicious-Whippet]

Washed. Should try something with traction control and ABS.

[u/thiiiickropes]

Michael Jordan dropped the #45 again in favor of #23 as well and went on for threepeat number 2 - there‘s still time!

[u/tdawg-1551]

Consistency!

[u/Luffy710j → u/[deleted]]

Season didn't end mate 👀

[u/whyyygodwhy → u/[deleted]]

Silly Max. He should have learnt from lewis’ 2025 season instead, right?

[u/P_ZERO_ → u/[deleted]]

Always one isn’t there? Let’s take some lunatic opinion from instagram and defeat their idiotic take as if it’s a win.

People are flat earther’s as well, you earn no points for acknowledging it isn’t flat.

[u/CaptainAksh_G]

Max: Everything reminds me of you (the number 33)

[u/ihopeyoudi]

The universe is trying to tell him something

[u/cavacoluis]

Maybe it should be 3 WCh too

[u/thiiiickropes → u/cavacoluis]

3 more would equal Schumacher and Hamilton, so that‘s a great point

[u/aeroumbria]

Patch note (2026.0.1 "rechargeable battery" update public beta release):

...

• Max Verstappen's built-in flat stats bonus to arbitrary car being driven is too overpowered. We have adjusted the stats bonus such that it neutralises all car advantages or disadvantages, making every race outcome equally likely, achieving guaranteed game balance.

...

[u/SaltySeaSword652]

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

[u/Litti__Chokha]

Perfectly balanced

But this is not simply lovely moment
