Honestly as a Max fan I know that he makes or has made those types of jokes as well and even knowing that I would probably still feel annoyed/angry/sad if he did something to confirm that. Still I would not think he suddenly is a misogynist or 'woman hater' just that he has the humour of a 14 year old. Still get why people are miffed though.

He definitely has. One example being when he was asked what his most expensive purchase was and his answer was “my girlfriend”. Do I think that makes him evil? No. Is that in a similar vein as the kitchen joke? Arguably yes.

People say shit. I don’t think every joke you make is a reflection of your views, I don’t think getting all your humour from imjustbait makes you a misogynist. I get why people would be like ‘ugh can he not’ but plainly, he did, so…we move.

Honest to god i don't think he deserves criticism for his driving 😭 that's just all he's got 😭 as long as he's not doing anything particularly dangerous/opportunistic his driving is just what it is lmao

Well, I think it’s a bit of both. Doing your best doesn’t mean you’re doing The best and people will have opinions about that and point that out, and that’s part of the game.

But certainly I used to be like ‘come on man you have to be better than this’ and now I personally don’t believe he is better than this I think this is just the level. And it’s not bad but it’s god tier and definitely people need to stop expecting miracles from him and punishing him for not making that happen.

But silly moves will get criticism even if on a macro level that’s just part of the overall level.

I‘m really wondering what Lewis thought would happen at Ferrari, when Vettel, a multi world champion during the biggest moment of his career with his one and only dream of pulling a Schumacher and bringing Ferrari back to its mythical glory, got told that ‚this isn’t Red Bull and drivers are not involved in everything‘

Did Hamilton really watch Vettel‘s career die a horrible red death and thought ‚rip to you but I‘m build different‘ ??

Sorry but this must be hubris. He‘s flown to close to the sun of Maranello.

High key I think he thought, “I’m bigger and I’m better”. And he’s right - he has way more clout, more trophies, he was more expensive, there is more reason for Ferrari to want this partnership to work than with Vettel or anyone else on earth. I actually can’t understand why they aren’t doing more for him. But also, I’m sure Lewis had soooo many conversations with top brass at Ferrari before signing about how he would want to be heard and it seems like that’s not happening, at least not at the level he was expecting. But I don’t think they were unaware of his expectations, so I’m quite surprised that they appear to have pulled a bait and switch.

I know Ferrari is stuck in their ways but they paid all this money to bring him just to drive around in 11th?? Ferrari come on.

Honestly, it’s kinda crazy to me how Max’s move on Lewis is (seemingly) getting more attention post race than Charles moving under braking on George.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I support any and all terrorism against George but I feel like moving under braking is a much more egregious move than … whatever you want to call that moment between Max and Lewis. (Lewis couldn’t even be bothered to talk about it. Ferrari agreed they didn’t touch.)

Meanwhile I know that if it was Max who had moved under braking people would be talking about it forever.

I feel like because of who they are it got more attention. For a second there we were back in 2021 where the title fight was interesting rip 😭(would not want to watch it again but still)

But yeah I mean realistically Charles could actually have caused a crash, Max imo was never really in danger of causing a crash. Moving under braking implies a degree of forethought while squeezing someone into the run off can be written off as just misjudging where you and they were on track. So for me the former is more intentional. But I don’t think Max forced Lewis off anyway so it’s wild it’s getting as much airtime as it is.

Also I’m 99% sure the reason the stewards couldn’t make a decision is because they didn’t have a clear camera angle of what happened. So if they didn’t, the viewers definitely didn’t but everybody has 1001 conspiracy about it? Meanwhile Lewis doesn’t even care?

[f0point5]

i feel so bad for lewis ngl, he seems really down

and i love that max and lewis fans are uniting now because we all don’t want to see them fighting for p11 😂🫶🏽

He seems like devastated.

I’m getting the sense he didn’t think it would be as hard to change things at Ferrari as it is.

[f0point5]

I think Lewis realised max was going to pull some move and decided he didn't really want to risk it all for p11. that place is not one where overtakes happen (unless ur max lol) and if you have max behind you who's probably frustrated about being stuck and has nothing to lose, you'd get out of the way too.

Yeah that’s possible.

But if he felt he had to take avoiding action then I feel like he would have said something on the radio. To me it didn’t seem like they were going to touch. They might have but it also seems like Lewis preempted that and went off before it was necessary, hence why he knew he couldn’t say he was forced off track.

I half believe Max when he said he only used the whole track because Lewis had already driven halfway to Budapest.

But maybe Lewis was having a bad enough day and just couldn’t be bothered. That would be fair

[f0point5]

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but I honest to God think Lewis was a bit embarrassed 😭 like idk he did get scared off the track a bit and his whole "I don't remember" thing really came off as "don't make me talk about this" to me 😭

High key agree. Because I don’t think he forgot going off track. I think he flinched and knew there was no way he could lie and say there was contact so he just left it.

Especially when the Ferrari rep said he chose to drive off the track…for why?

I’m sorry but the way these guys are talking you’d honestly think Max nearly tried to kill Lewis. I don’t think this was close to Silverstone whatsoever and maybe thats just my Max bias but the way some people have reacted to this has me wondering if i was watching the same race as others

Oh yes this incredibly risky almost crash that Lewis didn’t remember after the race. He didn’t even turn up to the stewards or make an issue over radio. If he’d been at all bothered he had multiple opportunities to say something but he didn’t.

So somehow I think it wasn’t that deep

[f0point5]

I mean I do think Lando deserves criticism for that comment but also if you can't tell that it's just a distasteful joke and nothing more you are maybe a bit too online. If you decide that's too much of a turn off and you can't be his fan anymore just don't be his fan anymore and don't write 3 paragraphs filled with how heartbroken you are bc a grown man u don't know doesn't live up to your fantasy.

I mean, it’s unconfirmed if that is his account.

But if it is - it’s such an unfunny joke like bro please develop your humour. But also if you haven’t had a man in their early 20s make this joke to you I don’t think you have male friends. There’s normally a punchline attached but still. I consider it to be referential humour like memes. I don’t think Lando is a giant misogynist on the down low or anything.

Again this could just be more evidence of a lack of impulse control because as a guy with millions of followers who is on a stream of your friend who is famous for being your friend why would you say that? This ain’t the group chat.

When I was talking shout the criticism though I mostly meant for his driving 😂

[f0point5]

Lowkey it must be a horrible time to be a Lando fan rn

You mean like a normal one?

Yeah I guess because you’re in the same chats as crazies which gotta suckkkk

But also Lando does get a wild amount of criticism, which isn’t always fair

Buckle up for this one

I wonder if the reason this person’s “comfort person” is someone who’s never met them is because anyone who has met them knows they’re WEIRD

I’ve seen a few CL fans say they increased Tyre pressure that last stint to increase the height but yikes 😳 at least he didn’t pull a George and win then get DSQ

Yeah but George said that first, post race. He was like, I saw Charles’s pace going to shit and the only thing I can think off is they ran too close to the ground and had to adjust the tyre pressure. And the interviewer says “Charles said it was the chassis” and George was like well he’s not going to tell you the truth.

It seems like George is very sure that’s what happened and I could believe it of Ferrari because that pace was serious.

Put it in the Louvre

He really has a nice back 👀👀👀

[f0point5]

amusing how the same people who labelled Magui a bad person because of some posts she liked years ago, won't call out Lando for things he said literally this weekend

People are now saying that was not his actual username so idk if it was really him.

Meanwhile, if he did say it, it’s a stupid af joke that even without knowing him personally I would confidently bet was not reflective of his actual views. But regardless this would be another one of those times when it becomes clear we need to stop holding public figures to some imaginary standard that they are under no obligation to meet, decide our morals and values for ourselves, and leave them to theirs.

[f0point5]

So i guess they had to raise the ride height of Charles car so he wouldn’t get dsq. That’s why his performance dropped

That was mostly George’s theory right?

Because Charles only said “problem with the chassis”.

But yeah that makes a lot of sense because his pace fell off a cliff. Clown behaviour from Ferrari as usual

[f0point5]

There was a tiktok comment that said something like “it’s amazing how new fans of the sport always seem to end up liking a 4x wdc or one of the popular drivers” on a video about Max and as someone who became a fan of the sport last year, I don’t get why some f1 fans don’t want others to appreciate a great driver WHILE he’s still in the sport. I didn’t know Max was a wdc when I first became a fan bc all I had seen was edits and that one video of him being part of a cab ride prank😂 but as I learned more about him and about the sport and how everything worked, I understood that if I become an f1 fan, I either get to experience an incredibly great driver in his absolute prime years as a fan or be a weirdo who can’t like an athlete bc they are popular. I see this a lot with Lewis, so many fans want him to retire but if he retired without giving it one last shot at the 8th, they would beg for him to come back and when he does eventually retire, all these fans will drown themselves in nostalgia of him actually being in the sport. I get that this is just how sports and fans of sports operate but it’s just baffling to me, why would you not want to experience something great in the moment instead of only appreciating it when it’s gone?

I don’t even…

Firstly, “new” fans of the sport are most likely coming in via DTS or some other form of media. And that media is featuring the most popular drivers, who are themselves popular because they appeal most to the audience. That’s how that works. If you’re not an F1 fan, any f1 social media you come across is most likely going to feature Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc, maybe Lando and maybe Carlos. So yeah if you get into the sport via a particular driver you may become a fan of them? Shock?

Specifically about Max, and I guess Lewis in the past, if you become a fan of a sport, why would you NOT automatically gravitate to the person who is the best at it? They are doing the thing you like well so why would you not be a fan? I don’t get it. Maybe my competency kink is unmatched because I can’t imagine not gravitating towards talent. And I say this as someone who became a fan of Max in like 2016 because it was clear even then that he was a phenomenal talent, and he raced in a way that made racing fun to watch. People that do that are normally “champions” or “popular”. Frankly it confuses me a little bit that people become fans of drivers who demonstrably aren’t good drivers but then I guess it’s more about personality, which is fine, but logically makes less sense than supporting people who are successful. So yeah, don’t understand that at all.

People just can’t appreciate anyone successful in the moment because the romantic story is always the underdog bs. Max was everyone’s fave till he started winning. Lando actually was also very loved until he started winning. People just gravitate towards a work in progress, especially in sports, which I can’t really relate to but it’s a thing.
