#not like i wasn't aware of the gender dynamics in sports but this stuff is very nauseating to see in real time

I never had any plans to work in motorsport as a black woman, but it is very jarring to see how the general consensus with the f1 paddock is "oh this Christian Horner situation is a bunch of noise and we should just focus on the racing". I doubt our comments on social media have any impact on the direction F1 is going on the grand scheme of things. We can trend hashtags and comment under official media about how this Horner situation is not right but the higher-ups do not care. Horner makes them a considerable amount of money and the female employee is just a cog in the machine. The amount of journalists going "oh do you think these distractions at RedBull will help your team out?" Is also very disgusting. I feel so bad for the employee because she did everything that you're supposed to do with reporting workplace harassment and yet she's the one getting punished. Christian Horner is going to come out of this unscathed and the paddock will probably "move on" by the next grand prix.
