Contradicting explanation, starting of by saying "it's not the car (being developed for Max)", then stating that as the season progresses the car becomes sharper and sharper on the nose the way Max likes to have it to the point the other drivers can't deal with it anymore.

I hear it as teammates see him driving quick, so slowly try and 'copy' his style of having it more and moreon the nose, but it gets to a point where the teammate can't cope anymore.  Max can still drive it at that point though.

It's developed to be quicker, but this suits the style of Max.

We are over complicating it.

It’s literally just Albon putting in some excuses for Verstappen squashing him and condemning him to a life of strong midfield performances.

Yet it is a consistent trend with Gasly before him and Perez after him.

Albon’s the one trotting out the excuses for his performances though. The other 2 have their own excuses 😂

The way Albon explained, it gave Max praises.

 

Driving wise and political wise: he won the team the trust, the responsability, to deliver.

 

There is no other way to see it, as Albon giving Max praise as Bottas did with Lewis.

Everybody wishes that it suits him more than any other. The fact is, from Albon's, it is Max who is fitting the car, not the car liking Max.

He explicitly says that as the season progresses the car becomes sharper and it get closer to how Max likes it

It’s not taking anything away from Max and it’s the obvious thing to do ESPECIALLY in a budget cap and testing limitted set of rules.
People saying it doesn’t happen either have an agenda or are a but ignorant.

I don't think too many people denies that this is happening.

The discussion is usually around the subject whether it is to accommodate Max or just to make the car faster.
