Absolutely this. We saw this clearly in the lead up to his first driver's championship. Everyone maintained we were seeing a more mature, more sportsman-like Max since then, but instead he just didn't feel any pressure over the last few years. He still drives like a pissed off teenager and makes it clear that every time you try to pass him, he'd rather just force you out or crash into you, no matter what the circumstances.
He's a fucking immature asshole. Always has been. Likely always will be.

Riveting contribution to the discussion.
Calling a driver a “fucking immature asshole” is not exactly a great contribution either and against this community’s rules (rule nr 1)
I contributed my opinion, which included highlighting a long standing pattern of problematic behavior, and labeling that behavior with a well understood classification.
To be clear, I respect Verstappen. Anyone with eyes and a brain has to. His talent is without question. But that (and rule 1) doesn't make him immune to justifiable criticism.
Perhaps "fucking immature asshole" oversteps the words of rule 1 if you squint hard enough, but I maintain that it doesn't violate the spirit of it.
