"I wanted to do it, but I was not allowed by Helmut," explained Verstappen. "He knew that I would try and go to the limits. I would have loved to do it."

Unfortunately I am unable to read the full article, since motorsport.com doesn't allow adblockers, but I don't think it's a dumb take from Helmut. He knows Max will go for everything, which is what he doesn't want him to do. However, I feel like Red Bull needs to realize that this is how they keep Verstappen happy, otherwise I think he won't ever renew his contract. He wants to do more racing, so they should allow him to do stuff like this.

A little offtopic but what browser / adblocker are you using then? Firefox + uBlock Origin does the trick for me.

It's apparently catching my custom DNS adblock, which is too much of a hassle to switch off. It's NextDNS I'm running.

Pihole + Firefox + uBlock Origin here, and it all works fine.
