Exactly! Also, God forbid if it’s Max, all of a sudden people think it’s on a road rage level 🙄
Okay but I seriously dont wanna be seeing ‘why wasn’t Max angry’ about the DNF like we saw in Bahrain.
What is the point about being pissed!?? He knows he didn’t do anything and knows his team are going to try their best.
Max literally is not an angry man…and I don’t wanna see that shit, it’s just feeding into the media narrative so let’s just chill.
Zhou honey, you should at the very least get some rest 🥺

There aren’t enough words to describe how heartbroken I am at this moment. What made me more worried was when Rafa revealed that he started feeling the pain as early as his match against Basilashvili. My heart goes out to him and praying for a speedy recovery 🙏🏻🙏🏻. If there’s one thing Rafa Nadal always does, it’s bouncing back no matter what 💪🏻.
Congrats as well to Del Potro. Definitely put up a fight, but also had great sportsmanship at the end. It’s very hard to hate the lovable giant 😊.
At least when it’s not Lewis 😂
isn't it SO boring when the same driver wins every week :/
Without Albono, George now has to step up as the caretaker of this crazy bunch 😂
They should at the least bring out the flares at the end of the race, so that it doesn’t compromise the drivers visibility.
drivers: we don't like flares going off during a race
f1: pls don't bring flares
fans: bring flares
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.
While I am absolutely happy that Checo got a podium today, it irks me seeing comments like this when an incident like what happened today happens and it’s out of Max’s hands. What did you guys think? That he himself caused his fuel to leak out, causing his car to catch fire? Either way, congrats to Checo for being able to get P2 and overtaking and defending against the Mercs so beautifully 👏🏻
rb should prioritize checo now. at least he can finish a race
THANK YOU! 👏🏻 AND I’M NOT EVEN AMERICAN
Nothing’s funnier than seeing “hardcore” racing fans whining and seething on the opening ceremony and call it extra like what gets you so worked up… chill it’s just a ceremony. Also I know the music & racing sched placement is a bit jarring (I’ve heard that they decided to put Post Malone and qualifying at the same hour) but that doesn’t mean the whole thing is lame lol. As a a fan of both worlds I appreciate every effort to bring the best from two entirely different things
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💀
