Is the frosty treatment of Max by his race engineer a recemt thing, or am I only noticing it now?

I know Max said that if GP retires, he will stop racing, but it seems to me that GP has been less than diplomatic in his comms with Max this year.

Notable today was the “we all got that from your previous message” response to Max complaining about his tyres. Is it maybe a case of that’s just what works between them?

I don’t think I saw GP at the podium celebrations, but again it could just be me.

Would love some insight from you guys.

    GP has always sounded like the dad that’s heard enough of Max’s shit. It seems to work for them well!

    Business as usual to me. They’ve always been direct to each other.

    It feels like next level cope to me, to start dissecting Max’s communication with his engineer to look for a weak spot lmao.

    I didn’t think it was anything out of the ordinary, they’re mostly straight forward with each other. They just have a great working relationship from what I can see.
