hi, if you don't mind me asking, who was the 'certain driver' who had their ableism defended by their fans? sorry if there was a reason why you didn't name them before
Hi, it was Max Verstappen he used ableist language against Lance in 2020/2021? And also in 2017 against a US steward and then didn't apologise for it - said it wasn't his problem people were upset and then later on said he didn't mean to hurt anyone.
The 'M' word is a derogatory word used against children with down syndrome in the Netherlands.
A lot of his fans defend him by saying he was young at the time and he said it in the heat of the moment (no other driver in f1 has ever used a slur in the heat of the moment - that suggests it's a part of his day to day life). Also, he said it twice he knew what he was saying and didn't stop himself from saying it multiple times.
