that article is purely based on rumours and reported as facts. The events outlined in it are completely contradicted by official FIA documents.

according to Benson Lance lost his temper once out of the car at the end of Q2 and started throwing shit around and yelling at team members, and it's implied that's how he 're-injured' his hand however the anonymous source refutes this.

HOWEVER, this was in the middle of quali, while the pitlane was crawling with cameras, both for TV and photography, and not a single one caught a glimpse of anything, considering one of the home drivers was in the same space there'd be plenty of cameras in the area. One would think a driver absolutely losing the plot in a garage would attract quite a bit of attention, and yet nothing.

On top of that, because Lance was called to the stewards for the post-quali procedure infringements the team had to supply the FIA with the internal garage footage to prove that lance A. wasn't shoving weights into his socks to cheat the weight and more importantly B. actually suffering a medical issue and headed off to the doctor as he claimed. The FIA viewed this footage and deemed it to be completely in line with what Aston Martin and Lance reported to them, their only criticism being that the team did not inform them it was a medical issue quickly enough (an absolutely valid critic)

IF in fact Lance had thrown a temper tantrum in the garage before leaving for the team doctor it would have been in that footage, and we know from 2023 that the FIA will intervene in such cases and summon the drivers for unacceptable behaviour. This has not happened in this instance, the FIA made no mention of anything like it in their document explaining Lance's absence.

What is the most frustrating thing about it all is that despite this evidence people will believe an article written by a 'journalist', with a long reputation for being unreliable, that has no solid sources, no evidence, and is actually contradicted by official documents. They'll use it to direct more hate towards Lance and call for him to banned, dropped, replaced or worse. Sensationalism and rumour will win out over common sense.

sketched him a lot these past few days

Huh. I don’t know why you’re getting all rude and aggressive all of a sudden, if I came across as such myself I didn’t mean too but okay, come out flying. I’m only saying this because I was on twitter during all this and it was frustrating to watch people disrespecting and speaking on cultures they don’t understand. In the grand scheme of things (the driving, the sport etc.) yes it might be “Not That Big Of A Deal” as you so say, but in the context of that incident, it IS important. That’s all I wanted to say.

Why am I surprised Liam is half-Maori 😭😭

It became a bit of a hot topic because people on Twitter were being openly ignorant about Māori culture and Liam’s heritage to hate on him, even posting a photo of him doing the Haka and saying “he looks like he’d call me slurs”. And then when they were called out for cultural insensitivity they kept doubling down that because he “looks white” they didn’t do anything wrong. *That’s* why people are bringing it up and reminding people.

I do just have to step in here because the thing about Māori culture is that there’s not really any such thing as “half” or “part”, if you’re Māori, no matter *how much*, you’re still Māori.

There’s a saying in Indigenous Australian culture that also goes rather well with New Zealand indigenous culture that “no matter how much milk you pour into tea, it’s still tea”. Liam is quite linked to his heritage, and even uses their cultural patterns in his helmet. Just thought it important to mention!
