The max() function returns the maximum of the values for the requested axis.
If you want the index of the maximum, use idxmax. This is the equivalent of the numpy.ndarray method argmax.

DataFrame.max(self, axis=None, skipna=None, level=None, numeric_only=None, **kwargs)
Parameters:

level | If the axis is a MultiIndex (hierarchical), count along a particular level, collapsing into a Series. | int or level name Default Value: None |
