"what the fuck. checo pushed carlos' head after the crash he's such a horrible person 🥺"
these cars can go up to almost 380 kilometers an hour and can be as loud as 147 decibels. if checo was trying to speak to carlos through not only their helmets but also their ear protection HE'D BE SPEAKING TO A BRICK WALL.
sometimes you need to touch someone to get their attention and that is what checo did. you guys try so hard to push this "agressive hispanic man" stereotype onto checo it says a lot about who you are as a person.
Yuki being so open about how Checo has always been an incredible supporter, mentor, even a type of dad for him… I think that’s so beautiful and I’m glad people are talking about it because Checo deserves his flowers for how much he cares about young drivers on the grid (especially Drivers of Color)
The first example nobody talks enough about is how much Checo was one of the few drivers who was vocally supportive and openly kind to Max Verstappen when he first came onto the grid, even stating that he felt sympathetic to him because Checo also used to be very young racing against much older drivers. He saw a child that was already being heavily criticized and said he deserved a chance and even later said Max would change history with his talent, years before they would ever become teammates.
Checo was the one who intentionally supported Yuki from the beginning of his career to advise and encourage him. He resonated with him because he also knew what it was to be a noneuropean POC who moved away from home at a young age trying to navigate the sport knowing very little english. Noel León says he’s in regular contact with Checo who advises him on every track and encourages him to stay in europe and persevere. Checo was the one who scouted Isack Hadjar and intentionally pointed him out to Helmut Marko to be picked for the Redbull Junior Program. Franco Colapinto talked about the immediate warmth and support he received from Checo and what an honor it was to race against him and how he inspired so many latam growing up.
Checo cares so deeply I love him so much
Can I say something too?
Sergio being called a 'good servant for the team' is an insult (that and Helmut calling him a 'great helper') because we all know he didn't mean it as a compliment, he meant it as another dig, another way to show how little they think of him and I have no idea why anyone is saying that he should be grateful and go without a fight (David Coulthard I lost all the little respect I had for him after that words). The team wanted to destroy him and did so in a way and he should 'thank them for the years together'? Why? Would people be saying the same if someone said this shit about Max in 2028? Where are all the people who were outraged and called Daniel's treatment before he was fired atrocious?
The journalists calling him 'stubborn' and 'defiant' like it was an insult makes no sense because honestly, why should he just agree to all the things RBR did to him? He is not doing anything that any other driver wouldn't do in his situation and I don't understand why people expected anything different. Was he supposed to act like Daniel and just accept that the team used him and wanted him out with no deserved pay off? He has the right to defend himself as anyone would have in his place. Are people mad because he isn't a brainwashed machine blindly believing everything Helmut says? Is the problem only about him not agreeing with the team politics and knowing what he's worth?
Also Nico saying that 'he wants his money back' like it was something bad. It's not, he brought millions to the team in merch sales alone not to mention the sponsors and partnership with Ford HE HELPED SEAL. He gave his all to the team as he said and he has the right to demand something back. RBR isn't a poor victim here, they are the villains trying to change the narrative and paint Check as the greedy ungrateful guy who wants to leave them with nothing. And that's just a lie.
Also also, people ignoring Max who said multiple times that he likes working with Sergio and that he wants him as his teammate and that he is a great driver just to say that they hate each other and Max would be glad with someone else and all this positivity is just a PR play (at the same time praising how he always says what he thinks and doesn't hold back in the media - quite ironic, no?).
Ehhhh
Preach! FUCKING PREACH!
They expect Checo to take all the punches as if they weren't HARASSING him left and right.
Like, what? Do you really think someone who sued Pemex -THE oil and gas company for the entirety of Mexico and won - would not know how to defend himself? The man who saved a bunch of employees from getting fired?
Let's never forget how he has POWERFUL people behind him. Literally. And it all falls to CH and HM foaming at the mouth for not accomplishing their dirty work. Checo is a very smart man when it concerns his contracts.
Shit, can we even talk about how they IGNORED Checo about the car? Did they expect a box of donuts and a thank you card in return for all the hell they put him through? Checo was spat on the face with that. And they STILL demand respect? Nah. Checo doesn't owe Red Bull anything. Red Bull owes Checo for putting them on a high pedestal.
I'm super fucking glad Checo is going for war. That only HE can decide what his next move is. Clearly something that CH and HM aren't used to. And that is hilarious!
Checo made it to Q3 and he starts at p9 tomorrow!!🥳 Today is now a good day
media day and they are already asking weird questions to checo about his contract. as he has said, he hasn't ever shared his contract details publicly and he isn't ever going to do that (he doesn't have to). it's so weird that everybody is so quick to blame checo, and to say that he is doing awfully and that he should be removed etc, but there is absolute silence on the racism he faces, the weird comments made by his team, the rumours spread about him, the team ignoring him and his issues with the car (and apologising to him), so many things.
it's so irritating to see these repeated questions of "is your contract still there" or whatever they ask. don't want to imagine how annoying it must be for him to repeatedly answer the same question without cursing or being "rude" or sounding like he doesn't want to be there or reaching whatever standards they have for him.
They look like his bodyguards 😭
Elon Musk doing a n*zi salute, Trump declaring he will change the Gulf Of Mexico to the Gulf Of America, ending birthright citizenship, ICE raids starting.
Birthright citizenship is protected under the U.S constitution. This is a slap in the face to all the hardworking immigrants who come to America for a better life for them and their families.
As of now, I’ve seen videos and posts that ICE will begin raids in Chicago. To all my immigrant friends in Chicago, stay safe and know that you have rights in this country.
I’m scared for these next four years. I’m scared for my friends and family, for the people of color, for the LGBTQ community, for the future.
To the Latinos for trump people, remember that you voted for this. You vote will cause so much damage to families. I don’t support all Latinos, some of you are insufferable.
I know I have made several posts about politics, but you have to understand that for me, it has always been politics. My family is going to be affected by all these changes. I hope the day never comes when I get a phone call from a loved one saying my uncle or aunt got taken away by ICE.
Here’s some cities that are going to have ICE raids in the upcoming days:
Stay safe everyone ❤️
America is the land of immigrants!
you see, Kmag would've never allowed a race this boring
I think this TikTok ban is going to be the thing to radicalize me bc wdym the US’s top priority for the last five years has been banning a foreign social media app that doesn’t steal any more of your data than Meta, but not gun control or women’s rights to their bodies or the economy crisis or global warming or homelessness or world hunger or literally any fucking thing that actually matters?
well 🧍♀️ as a reminder this blog is NOT a safe space for trump supporters but it IS a safe place for women, queers, trans ppl, people of color, undocumented people, and any marginalized group.
And because today is may 5th, I’m going to say this once and that’s it . . . IF YOU VOTED FOR THE RACIST FELON STAY YOUR ASS HOME AND EAT YOUR COLESLAW AND HOT DOGS I DON’T WANT TO SEE YOUR ASS IN A MEXICAN RESTAURANT EATING TACOS WHEN YOU’RE IN FAVOR OF THE MASS DEPORTATION!!
And if you even care, cinco de mayo is not Mexico’s Independence Day. Mexican’s don’t even celebrate cinco de mayo, it’s a regular day for us.
