I love you Safety Wizard.

it's time to let the "they got into f1 through DTS" discourse die. we should be preparing ourselves for an imminent and decidedly more frightening prospect*: people getting into F1 through F1 the movie

david coulthard they could never make me like you . i swear to god this man finds every opportunity to hate on logan , even coming up with absolute bull claims just to humiliate him on live tv . like how this past weekend he showed a white car , claimed it to be logan's , and said he's still "making contact without even being on track" and then laughing about it . and guess what ? that car wasn't even logan's !! it was his teammate's , alex albon's car !!!!!!!

this guy genuinely seems to hold so much hatred in his heart for logan considering how often he says shit about him and it absolutely infuriates me . and the fact he went so far as to humiliate him on live tv by saying something like that with the car is so messed up in my eyes ? i swear he pulls what he says about logan out of his ass and it's getting on my nerves .

i know and understand that its commentators' job to , well , commentate -- but they often say things about some drivers that exerts such hatred towards them . and in my opinion , that is not a sign of good commentating: it shows lack of morals , insecurity , and indicates a person who is unable to come up with comments about an athlete that criticize them fairly yet kindly . david coulthard has not done any of the sort to logan . he has consistently showed him hate , saying he doesn't belong in f1 , humiliating him on live tv with clips like this , amongst other things .

as a commentator and former formula 1 driver with a lot of influence , he should use his experience and prominence in motorsport to provide logan with constructive criticism . he should give him advice about what he thinks logan could do to improve even if he's in a bad car rather than consistently spread hate and talk crap about him . david coulthard is meant to be a role model figure in motorsports . instead , he acts like a bully towards a driver who is clearly struggling and needs to be shown a helping , guiding hand to learn about what he can do to improve his odds .

it's frustrating how often people in positions of power and who are highly respected in motorsports because of their career use their popularity and position of power to spread hate . i understand , this is a sport ! there will always be individuals who are assholes towards athletes , whether they are former athletes themselves or people sitting behind a screen who have nothing better to do and are upset about the trajectory of their own lives . the difference here , however , is that people who sit behind the screen often do not hold much power , while someone like david coulthard has hundreds of thousands , if not millions , of people listening to what he says and agreeing with him .

the car parking debacle may not seem like a huge problem , but when it is used as ammunition by haters to be rude to logan because a respected individual in motorsports spat on him too , then it is a problem . hate in general is a problem . it may have seemed like a simple joke , something to laugh at and giggle about . when you take into consideration how logan has been treated since he joined f1 , though , it's not a funny thing . it's just sad .

and the thing is that even though we now know it wasn't logan's car , people will still use it to hate on him . they'll ignore that fact . they'll pretend like it's still his car that was parked that way and they'll continue to joke and laugh and taunt logan . because that's just how haters are . it's a "harmless joke" in the moment , but in the long run it can be insanely damaging in numerous ways . that goes not just for jokes about logan , but about all the drivers , about all motorsports athletes , and about all people .

here's a video confirming it was NOT logan's car that was parked in a way that it was hitting the pole !

This was on a tweet that was saying how Mclaren and Ferrari are behaving like best friends this season because of the whole photobombing thing. Like this is so stupid.

They all were eating up the whole Charles adopting Oscar spiel. And loved it when everyone under the sun was committing to the bit. But when a jokey fun thing happens with Carlos, suddenly it’s a competitive sport and rivalry in sports is dead. Like fuck off. Seriously.

Also, what do you mean Redbull doesn’t do shit like this with Ferrari. Ermm.. hello..the sticker war last year??? From Spa to the last race of the season??? When Max was putting that sticker on Charles, the sports rivalry wasn’t dead??

And they’re like oh Enzo must be rolling in his grave… like ok and?? Like what’s he gonna do come out of his grave and go haunt Mclaren? And be all “booooooo you can’t have fun.”

It’s just a silly thing. Like they still have rivalry when they’re on track racing one another. Having a silly fun thing isn’t going to change that. Do these people not feel joy in their life?

But yeah sure, Carlando, a real proper friendship in the sport is so woooorse than a friendship that never leaves the paddock. (There’s a mean thing i wanna say but i’ll leave it for now).

HE IS A RED BULL DRIVER FULL STOP

When he asks me what haunts me and I can't say max being stuck with a shit car at the height of his prime and possibly ending up as only a 4x world champion, so I say sharks.

i was about to say 'what if f1 announces what daniel's fate is on a random thursday' and um. oops. sorry

[silentsialia]

There are a lot of flaws in F1 Academy but people are so focused on "a women's only series doesn't help them in the long run" that I doubt any meaningful discussion can actually take place. Which is sad, these women definitely deserve much better than the cards they're being dealt.
