Just read up on his problems. Pretty extreme anger control stuff. I fortunately missed the whole bambino/cadet craziness (but had plenty of it in tennis). Must have been rough for Max and explains a bit why he drives so hard. (I’ve always felt that his driving is too aggressive in traffic).
Reminds me a bit of a pro skater (name withheld) whose Dad was similar. Dude was a super gnarly skater who would do dangerous stuff readily. Basically his Dad taught him to be that way iirc, (conditioned him to risk take and be gnar-gnar) and he was pretty unique in the skating world.
We do tend to emulate what we have been taught. I guess the trick is extracting the good stuff from our parents and having perspective on the bad (while understanding why you cannot go that path).
I remember them at kart races when I think Max was running minimax, we still joke that his dad has an axle ready to discipline if he makes a mistake.
Probably shouldnt joke about that sort of thing but Jos definitely has that vibe.

Moving this on to make-believe people: Turns out the most unreasonable racer is Speed Racer:
" Nothing can excuse his body count, which are mostly second-degree murders disguised as collateral damage of racing. His sociopathy has no clear boundaries. He will run you off the track in a race, sure, but he will also grab the last parachute from a falling plane — then stare you dead in the eyes as he jumps."
Also like Russian gymnasts.
His dad is also just a terrible human being, even disregarding his parenting
There have been a number of “help me with line” posts of late and this one has emerged as a contender.

It’s “gluten free”. 
Re gluten free, you’d be surprised how often wheat flour especially is used as a binder or filler in things.
But yeah things like gluten free water crack me up, and I’m celiac (Still in denial, but I have a family history too)
