Max needs to pull a schumacher, lando can't make up the lead if max takes both of them out
I thought the cool down room would be awkward. Because it's max with (his) historically most disliked driver on the grid, and max's-boyfriend's-boyfriend, but these motherfuckers are yapping away.
I think rb should just retire, even if it's just to not mess up max's finishing streak.
Funny how Anne Rice hated fanfiction of her work so much, she sent cease and desist letters to fanfic writers and fanfiction.net. And yet, she wrote multiple books about a reimagined bdsm version of sleeping beauty, and biblical/religious fiction.
The thing is... mental health has always been a problem in sports, especially in such an elite sport as f1. Drivers suffer and cope in different ways and it's important to bring attention to the fact that they are people and can see online hate etc.
But it's funny how no one cared about it untill norris. (he is 100% valid in his experience and emotions, and I'm glad hes talking about it) but THE FANS never actually gave a shit before.
For years jokes (and assumptions) have been made about verstappen's childhood and relationship with kelly in a very negative way, and no one gave a shit.
Hamilton has been the butt of homophobic and racist jokes for years, and no one gave a shit. Checo, Zhou, Albon and Tsunoda have all been subjected to the racism of this sport and its fans.
Leclerc has faced loss in the most devastating way and had to share that with the world, and no one gave a shit. Gasly and Ocon both lost a friend and had to see it be used as a media piece again and again.
Sargeant's treatment from williams was absolutely disgusting, not the firing part, the shit vowles said and how he was treated in general.
Past drivers like rosberg, button, webber have said how they struggled with the pressure. This is still relevant to current drivers.
The weight limit the drivers have to adhere to adding to disordered eating and definitely body image issues. Still fucking relevant.
SO... if we are gonna talk drivers' mental health, it's gotta be as whole. Fans can't pick and choose when mental health issues are relevant to a driver's performance or not. And it does not excuse bad behaviour on or off track.
This is coming from a genuine place, as I have been struggling with depression and anxiety for years. We as fans have a responsibility to also make the sport safe and enjoyable for drivers and fans alike.
People already downplaying Max's performance by saying "it's just for sprint", there's still points to be won! You guys went on about the 1 point Danny stopped norris from getting, y'all can sure as fuck see how this is just as, if not more, important.
Just saw the expensify-apex posts (pretty sure its a fake account) about Dilano and Anthoine and the absolute disrespect of some people.
They did one about Jules too, where a fan called them out and the admin was so fucking rude. They did the same on twitter. Like what the actual fuck!! It's disgusting.
This is not respectful or in remembrance, this is exploiting tragedy for profit or as a gag?!
I really don't think it's a legit account but it follows the same grossness of having brad pitt as the lead and that shit fucking trailer "who said anything about safe" bullshit.
