Georgie - 3 F1 race wins.
Max - 4 F1 driver titles.

F1, by the very fact that it's the pinnacle of motorsports and employs 20 of the world's fastest drivers - and they are all young - means they are all going to be Type A, dominant personalities of the Nth degree. NONE of them will be nice when it's time to race or qualify.
I personally think it's about time somebody blasted Max all out for a change. He IS a bully, even by F1 standards, and always has been, and I, for one, am happy someone laid it all out there. A product of his bully father.
Senna, btw, was famous for being a bully. He was Max and Michael wrapped up in one package. But everyone loves him. I never did. Great driver, but not an admirable competitor, imo.
And I love how people try to compare MAX's 4 WDC's to George's 3 wins. Apples to Oranges right now. Max has been in by far the most dominant car for most of that stint, and in at least a competitive one for the rest of his F1 career.
What's George been in until recently? A nothing backmarker car, and a Mercedes that totally flopped when the Ground Effects era began.
Not saying he's going to be Max, but it's ridiculous to see the comparison thrown out there when the conversation was about Max being an impossible bully.
