Im a lando fan, and even i think this is more of a racing incident. Yes max got punished, that should be it. Fans shouldnt get involved with hating him. Both lando and max (even if lando was a bit angry after the race im sure he has cooled down a bit by now) are probably fine, because they are freaking adults.
What ircks me more is people using this against BOTH Max and Lando, saying nax hasnt changed since 2021 when he in fact, did change a lot for the better, and saying lando just plain sucks.
They did what people wanted, they fought, they are in front of everyone fighting their asses off, and yet peopke STILL find stuff to hate? Is nothing good enough anymore?
tbh f1 fans are some of the most toxic fandoms i've ever seen. they hate on anything and everything just for the sake of it. this is, of course, not all of them but yeah i do agree with you. as i said IT'S RACING. things like this will always happen. if they don't then they complain that it was a "boring" race.
and i did see the lando hate just later on. and i was honestly baffled like how are people so fucking stupid.
if they fight on track they hate, if they don't they say "it's not old f1 anymore". they just can't be pleased.
I FUCKING CALLED IT OH MY GOD CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM!!!!!
MAX VERSTAPPEN YOU FUCKING LIVING LEGEND. I WILL LITERALLY GIVE YOU THE BEST HEAD OF YOUR LIFE RN TAKE YOUR PANTS OFF RIGHT FUCKING NOW. OH MY GOD. EAT MY SHIT FIA
and my pierresteban heart is just bursting in flames because holy fucking shit they did THAT!!
LANDO P1!!!!!! MY BABY!!!!! MY POOKIE!!!!! HE WON. HE DID IT. I WILL SOB AND THRASH. HE DID IT. HOLY FUCKING HELL. LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO
i feel like a mother who's just seen her child win :)
i'm so proud of himmmmmm
ok so i know i disappeared again. but i have thoughts about the austrian gp and yes specifically about that incident. whatever happened, was both of their faults. the ratio may be different but this is racing. things like this always happen. they're always going to happen. people saying that max should've let lando pass, are you actually being fr? do you what sport this is? if he let lando pass he might as well retire. and lando in the press saying that they'll be friends only if max apologies?? like lan, i love you but that's not "friendship" is it? look i'm not saying that it wasn't max's fault. it was. it was lando's fault too. just because he's a popular driver and the other is a "villain", all the hate is being funnelled towards the latter. and don't get me wrong i understand that lando was frustrated and that he was very disappointed. but again THIS IS RACING. stuff like this is always gonna happen. heck it happened in the last race. it happens in almost all races. basically it just made me sad that after the video of max saying lando is his best friend on track, lando goes on to say in the pen that'll they'll only remain friends if he apologies. when i think it's common knowledge that max struggles with friendships, especially on the grid.
(edit: one of my mutuals told me as to how what a lot of lando has said has been translated from here to there. from what i first saw and read people were saying how he wouldn't be friends with max if he didn't apologize. but that's not what he said. he said he would simply lose some respect. which again, in the moment, understandable.)
and also i do totally, totally understand lando's frustration. and whatever he said was probably in the heat of the moment. they'll talk it out and it'll be fine. stuff like this has happened before as well.
and congratulations to george, oscar and carlos ofc. this meant so much to carlos as the shitshow that was spain. and ofc it meant a lot to merc too after the win for lewis too last race. i'm glad they're somewhat getting it together.
THIS IS NOT SILLY SEASON Y'ALL THIS IS DIVORCE SEASON. THE GIRLS ARE CONSTANTLY FIGHTING.
i'm sure they're fine since they're, yk, ADULTS. we all should honestly stop with all the hatred towards both of them. it's stupid and childish.
to danny,
no one in this sport has made us smile like you have. no one has had the energy that you do. you're so special to so many people and you've saved my life and i'm sure you've saved others too. you've made me laugh when the world seemed like it was ending. i love you endlessly. i have so much love for you in me that i hope it seeps out of me like sand and reaches you when you feel unloved or alone. you deserved so much better. you're so incredibly talented. i know for a fact that given better opportunities, you could do so much, it would be scary. thank you for being a ray of sunshine. thank you for all the laughs and the silly inside jokes that'll linger in the fandom forever and ever. we love you danny. we'll support you now matter what. thank you, you stupid, special, boisterous man.
so much love.
max this weekend
i'm in a prosenna rabbit hole, if you can't tell
okay yeah I know i disappeared for a while but exams guys. i finally get to escape highschool and be more miserable in college. but what i came here to talk about is a couple of things. i've been chronically online ofcourse and have consumed a lot of media obviously. but I will give you guys a quick run down.
1. carlos sainz: WHAT THE FUCK FERRARI??????????? i mean don't get me wrong i'm so happy for lewis and as seb said the real measure is always whether he's happy or not and fuck mercedes. but them not telling carlos anything????? LIKE ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE??? NOTHING??? that's another level of fuckery. i love ferrari but man they just never fail to disappoint me. god damn. but he got his appendix removed and simultaneously injected jet fuel in his bloodstream so good for him. he better show these fuckers what they'll miss out on. and oh my charlos heart. how can you separate them? just how can you be so cruel? but hey i genuinely wish the best for both carlos and lewis. they're immensely talented and deserve everything.
2. max verstappen: my man dominating again. we love to see it. i love him so much and so viscerally i don't think anyone understands.
3. charles leclerc: i wish i could have the lec icecreams. he's so talented, i will cry. baby Leo is my favourite. he's doing so good.
4. ollie bearman: a talented boy. will walk to the ends of earth for him and his precious smile.
5. daniel riccardo: i honestly don't know how to feel about him anymore. like don't get me wrong he makes me so happy. but his recent comments about the horner situation did piss me off. and liam coming for his seat. idk man i just feel very icky about the whole situation.
that's it. that's the very brief debrief for now. catch y'all later.
i want all of you to genuinely think about stuff you say or write before you say or write it. i get it, you're frustrated as to why your favs are not doing well. but put that energy towards supporting them. not hating someone else. go out, touch grass. don't put out hatred in the world, there's already enough of it. if you don't like someone, then don't talk about them. talk about things and people you love or like. leave them alone.
yes this is about the austrian gp. i'm so sick of looking at all the hatred towards lando, max, charles, carlos and even george. it's RACING. things are always happening (i've said this like a billion times in the past week), and they're always gonna happen. it's the point of the sport. spend time on supporting and encouraging your favourite drivers, not belittling and bullying others. and i'm sure the drivers are fine. they're adults. they would have talked it out and i'm sure they're fine. even if they aren't, it's their lives. some of you need to get out of your parasocial relationships. i get it, you love them, they bring you comfort. THEN FOCUS ON THAT. not hating someone else.
Astrid. she/her. 18. multi fandom but mostly love to yap about f1. twt: l1li4n_
