We’re Also Gonna Need VB’s Story About His Last Trip To Vegas 🤣

Am I the only one ANNOYED and PISSED OFF about Marin Cilic's behavior after Rafa retired from their match?

First of all, this is my opinion so please don't start a flame war. Second, I can't believe Cilic acted like he ACTUALLY WON the entire 5th set. I get it, you win, it's okay to celebrate. But that match was NOT a real win for him. Do you see Rafa doing THAT whenever his opponents retire, I THINK NOT! He even has the courtesy to clap for them as they leave the court. Only then does he celebrate, but even after that, he STILL acknowledges that injured opponent during his own press conferences.

Now, I'm 100% a Nadal fan, but I'm willing to watch the men's singles final (since my mom LOVES Federer) just to see Roger pummel and destroy his ass on court.

The entire time, I felt like I was gonna die of either a stroke or a heart attack 😂😂😂 Rafa proves time and time again that he is one of the greatest fighters in the tennis world 🎾. Props to Domi as well. Making more than 70 winners and even bagel a set from Rafa. These two are absolute warriors on court.

Such an AMAZING match from these LEGENDS 🔥⚡️🇪🇸🇨🇭🎾

YOU TELL ‘EM CHARLES! YOU TELL THOSE HATERS 👏🏻

max antis can go suck eggs in hell and charles said that PERSONALLY 🥰

Rafa is shooting daggers at Benoit Paire as he (Paire) throws and smashes his racquet and expects the ballboy to pick it up and return it to him. Can't remember the last time when Rafa was disappointed in his opponents behavior.

Oh thank god! 🙏🏻

Great news

Couldn’t have said it better myself 👏🏻

I get why people are sceptical about the “Drive it out” video - this kind of thing should have been done long ago and they should provide more details on what the plans are to tackle this problem. I do think we need to give it chance though to see what they actually do.

However. I am seeing a lot of finger pointing at other drivers fanbases for being the main problem and I just wanna say… it literally not down to just one driver fanbase, it’s basically ALL OF THEM.

No driver fanbase is without toxic and disgusting fans lbr-

• a popular Charles fan page on here said Carlos needed to kill himself and had consistently made derogatory comments to him. I have now blocked them so I dunno if they are still doing it but there was definitely a severe lack of people calling them out at the time. Seemed to be one Carlos fan did and that’s when people said something.

•merc fans sent death threats to Nicky after Abu Dhabi - and I’m saying merc fans because that’s what I saw and tbh no other team fans really had a reason.. unless they just hated max so maybe I should say mostly merc fans.

•there has been racist abuse towards any driver who is not white from multiple fanbases - pretty sure I remember Alex’s family having to be told not to look at comments on any socials because people were saying they eat cats amongst other things, and the amount of people who were awful to Zhou when he was announced by Alfa Romeo was insane. Can’t mention racist abuse without mentioning Lewis - the fact there are people who think it’s okay to call him slurs is vile. I get people don’t like have to like him, but the fact some peoples first insult to him is racist will never make sense and shows more about that person than Lewis. I do see this more on twitter tbh.

•people constantly wishing drivers to crash… even after Silverstone this year! Wtf is wrong with those people?! Drivers have died - most drivers on the grid know someone who has died from this in their career. I usually only see other drivers fans call out people who say that. Fans of the same driver seem to be quiet most of the time.

•Lando fans vs Daniel fans on the regular and they get really nasty. I’m fed up of the war going on between them.

•Lewis fans vs max fans CONSTANTLY at it when at least those drivers can show respect towards one another. They might not be friends but they seem way more mature than some of their fanbases. I know there are respectful fans on both sides and I actually interact with some (lbr, their teams are the ones typically in the media making little comments anyway) - but there are definitely those who act like either driver murdered that persons entire family and is the reason for every war ever to happen. Like my god, some people need to touch grass.

•Carlos vs Charles fans - so many people were mad about Silverstone for Charles… but the truth ferrari fucked up and that doesn’t mean Carlos didn’t deserve a win. Vice versa - I’ve seen some Carlos fans hating on Charles when something happens that affects his race.

There are so many more examples but I’d literally be constantly listing so I’ve put the ones I’ve seen most and some examples that have just stood out to me.

Instead of pointing the finger at each other, which does absolutely nothing but causing fights, actually hold fans accountable for their words. Not just of drivers you don’t like, but people who support your driver. All that person is doing is contributing to the toxic and hateful environment that seems to be all I see when I now go online. All it does is create a bad name for the driver and make people think all the fans of that driver behave that way. I’m sick of coming online and wondering what fucking fan war I’m about to witness and what happened when I was offline.

And I know people will say “but this drivers fans are worse”, I DONT CARE. I’ve said what I’ve said. It’s about making EVERYONE accountable for their words/actions instead of just the fans of drivers you don’t like. If you don’t hold everyone accountable, even if you’re friends with someone saying this toxic stuff, you’re part of the problem. that does include drivers too - but some people are very picky on which driver they think needs to be held accountable and which doesn’t… which makes no sense. Either hold every driver to that same standard or none of them, don’t pick and choose which driver needs accountability and which doesn’t

End of rant. I just needed to say this💀

🥺🥺🥺🙏🏻🙏🏻

YES A FELLOW ZHOU DEFENDER! I REFUSED TO JUMP ON THE HATE BANDWAGON WHEN IT WAS CONFIRMED HE WAS GETTING GIO’S SEAT AND HONEY HE DID GREAT IN HIS DEBUT! I LOVE HIS OVERTAKES ESPECIALLY WITH MICK, THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL!

Look I’d love to share some thoughts now🥰

firstly, WE WERE SO FUCKING CLOSE AND AGAIN WE DIDN’T GET THE LESTAPPEN PODIUM, I WANT TO CRY

but also I’m so SO happy Charles won, looking at the championship standings and seeing him first is like ARGH😍 hope that stays a little longer for now omg-

And maybe after Charles now had Bahrain redemption we get Max redemption in Saudi so yes let’s just wait and see

THEN the battle between them was SO GORGEOUS and HOT like I remember not long ago my best friend asked if I watch porn (which I have never tbh xD) and what to watch porn for THAT WAS HOT

Also Max giving 0 shit about Charles actually being in an interview and he just goes to him to talk, we absolutely love. 😂

Ferrari 1-2 is amazing of course, they’re back.❤️

OKAY AND NOW Honey, Guanyu you did such a great job all weekend I’M SO PROUD

Hopefully all these disgusting haters apologize as loud as they have screamed shit at him before

Yes I’ll say it again: I’ll defend this man with all I have because I absolutely fucking love him

My dad also knows that now :))

Loved that we saw him this much in the race and his overtakes were 😮‍💨

AND THEN HIM AND OSCAR HELLPPP MEEE-

You know how much I love them and they just keep making me go crazy because that’s EXACTLY what I hoped for before the season started: interviews with them or just pictures of them talking and now Oscar congratulating him and also Joey saying Oscar deserves to be with them in F1 too and ARGH-*goes to sit in her room in the darkness, listening to her zhouastri playlist*

Couldn’t have said it better myself 👏🏻. We Asian F1 fans experience the same almost for all the races, heck the races in the US alone is at 1 AM in my time zone, but with Vegas being a night race, it’s gonna be one happy Sunday morning whilst I watch the race 😇☀️

My 2 cents on the Vegas GP bc I can't sleep:

- I don't really have an issue with 3 races in the US. The US, as a country with a rich motor racing heritage, hosts a myriad of historical racetracks of high standards. But instead of making use of those readymade circuits, we have a track that is aspiring to give Daytona a run for its money on bumpiness, a stadium parking lot, and a street circuit. The opening of the US market is a wonderful opportunity to introduce the wider world to the beauty of American circuits and the quality racing they are capable of producing, not tourist postcard attractions with labeled corners.

- This may be total nonsense, but the words of the governor are giving me the vibe that he wants Vegas GP to be the new Monaco GP (in terms of glamour and prestige). First of all, Monaco isn't the most fitting track for current cars, so the racing isn't that great, but that's not the point. The point is that, with Monaco ceasing to be a standalone event this season and Vegas coming onto the calendar next season, I'm sensing perhaps Vegas will be (or attempt to be) on par with Monaco in terms of special events. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I hope Vegas doesn't become like Monaco, where what happens outside of the race is of more substance than what happens on race day. Nowhere else has Monaco's racing heritage to be able to pull it off.

- I think I would be delusional to believe historic European tracks won't be cut from the calendar. In fact, I would rather prefer it over 30 races, although it is not unlikely to have 30 races and less European circuits in a few years time. The removal of motor racing history and heritage from the calendar is sad to watch.

- A bit of tangential observation: Europe (FIA WEC) and America (IMSA) spent years working out a cohesive regulation (LMH and LMDH) to make racing more accessible across the pond. Phenomena like this represent the trend of motor racing becoming more global (especially across the Atlantic), with a key emphasis on the quality and cultural heritage of motor racing (shown in the endurance case: WEC constructors want to race in Daytona/Sebring, IMSA constructors want to race in Le Mans). It shows sacrificing racing heritage like historic circuits is not necessary for attracting new crowds; in fact, one may argue that these historic circuits are drawing said new crowd in.

- Going back to F1 and motorsports. The way to create and maintain viewership is through superb racing and professional race control on high quality circuits. Drive to Survive is all fun and games until the newly-inducted realise the lies and cracks in a gimmicky show. F1 shouldn't aspire to be widely publicised and widely ridiculed as a Netflix show.

- That said, Vegas can end up a great track and if it does so I'd happily eat my words.

- I know some Europeans care about time zone, but it's something most of us non-Europeans had to deal with for most of the season. Just as I don't believe F1 should specifically accommodate American viewers, they are not obligated to go out of their way to accommodate European viewers either. It is one weekend, and no one is putting a knife on your throat to watch it live.
