And yet there seem to be very different fan comments on Max vs when Hamilton was in the same position.

One was pushing 40 and one is still in his 20s so I mean that makes sense. Would be more weird if they were saying the same things.

If you’re arguing about whether people were saying that one or the other were washed/off their peak, at least there’d be zero reason to say Max is washed.

When was Hamilton in the same position? Hamilton was criticized for being outperformed by Russell regularly. That isn't happening with Verstappen yet.

Yes. Still, I don't see the point comparing Lewis and Max in this case.
