Throughout the Horner situation my heart absolutely breaks for the victim in all this. In addition to the disorienting and traumatic experience of the abuse and investigation- a process designed to erode at your livehood and strip away the victims time, money, mental health and social grace- I can only imagine how enraging it must be to have someone outright deny the abuse that you know to so clearly have happened.
It is actually psychotic to do this to someone- to haphazardly smear yourself all over their life, abuse your power and when the victim speaks up about what has occurred, when evidence is provided to the world, the perpetrator can just wave his hand and say “anonymous speculation” and journalists start making brain dead musings about if you somehow used ai to fake hundreds of screenshots.
I can not comprehend the erasure here and I will never understand it. Do you know how insane it must feel to watch a man who harassed you and abused his power- who did this nearly everyday, spoke to you everyday- look into a camera and say “that never happened. This is anonymous speculation”?
the mass gaslighting that is occurring is so deeply disgusting and sinister.
Toger *allegedly* leaking the Lewis to Ferrari news makes complete sense bc you expect me to believe that Charles, Carlos, Pierre, and Zhou knew but poor Toto Wolff was left in the dark??
I’m supposed to believe that each morning Toto woke up in the dark before dawn and thought, “Lewis publicly said he wanted to be around for years. Surely he will take the 1+1 exits clausal bullshit we gave and shut up about it. Yep, he will just lower himself into the retirement grave bc we have him no option. Perfect.”, and then made his coffee while softly murmuring “Loyalty. loyalty. Loyalty” and watching snow fall on the mountain??
I’m supposed to believe that Charles/Pierre/Zhou/Anyone didn’t immediately text George and Toto didn’t see the messages while they applied face masks in their matching sleeping bags or whatever the fuck??
so from what I’m hearing Mercedes was basically gonna force Lewis into retirement and so he decided to jump the ship first? ahdhsksh wack them again for me bestie!
so much about last season makes sense now omg…
I remember that when asked about Mission44 Lewis said that he wants to continue his initiatives but he needed to find funding…presumably bc Merc wouldn’t provide enough. And all season he said he had several more years in him so when his contract was announced as 1+1, I though it was a case of him telling the media one thing but really wanting something else but no LMFAO Merc wouldn’t give him a longer contract.
Im glad he caught them off guard bc using him to develop the 2026 car but not let him drive it?? They thought they could “loyalty” his ass right into retirement pls gtfo
