I'm sorry but James Vowles criticising how Red Bull has treated their drivers in the past, only to go and then treat Logan far worse while pulling the exact same shit Red Bull did, ie the exact behaviour he criticised and called them out for, is so freaking infuriating like the sheer hypocrisy -
#f1#formula 1#formula one#james vowles#logan sargeant#best of luck to logan in the future & to franco#but james its on sight#rooting for franco because he's being thrown straight into the deep end#like Singapore of all races will be his third f1 race#and as i said when it was announced daniel was leaving mclaren & oscar was getting the seat#it's never the drivers at fault for a teams shitty behaviour towards a driver#the hypocrisy from james is just leaving a very bad taste in my mouth#edit: also infuriating that of the latest batch of rookies oscar & yuki are the last ones standing#zhou currently has no confirmed seat#they're the only rookies of the past 4 years left#mick has no seat#nicolas latifi has gone back to business school which good for you nicky i hope you're doing well#sorry but i went back to university in 2023 too so i feel a kinship with him lmao#less said about that nameless haas driver the better#nyck is the endurance championship now i think#i dont think I'm missing anybody

what i find extremely irritating is that even after esteban constantly acknowledging the support of the team, rarely ever publicly stating his disappointment whenever alpine goes full clown (which happens a lot) and commending pierre for his performance today, there will still be people who call esteban a shitty teammate.
i don't begrudge pierre for it because he was understandably upset about alpine's error in monaco, but he didn't go hug esteban and personally congratulate him after the latter's podium in monaco. and we saw his clenched teeth grin in the photos, which again whatever. but no one used that to claim pierre was a shitty teammate. esteban definitely got the short end of the stick in terms of strategy today but that didn't stop him from congratulating pierre.
meanwhile, i saw multiple people on here (who i immediately blocked) who acted like esteban acknowledging that pierre was the one who ran into him in australia (and then immediately stating that he understood that it was a mistake and he had no hard feelings towards pierre) was somehow him being a shitty teammate. i think it's the hypocrisy from the fanbase that makes me have complex (but still generally positive) emotions about pierre's result today.
i fully agree with you. people are quick to demonize este for everything he does, be it on or off track. and it has been that way for ages, like. looking at checo, max and alonso.
it is wild especially considering that este was nearly never at fault in most incidents, but that won't fit the narrative of him being some kind of villain.
his behaviour always gets far more scrutinized than most other drivers, and it is just sad to see.
he rarely ever loses bad words about his team or teammate ever since i started watching in 2020, even when he is understandably upset or frustrated.
he deserves far more credit than he gets, and far more grace than people will ever give him.
