f1s always been a back and forth of someone/some team winning for years and then it switching and another team/person winning for years and then it switching which. worked. until the public saw dominance from the sports first black man (70 yr old sport) who overcame poverty and racism to achieve acclaim and championships. so f1 did what theyve always done when an era goes too long and hit the regs with a hammer until the dominant team broke. so another team takes the lead .
and now, our new frontrunner is. a guy who says slurs and isnt challenged because drivers fear he will crash them out. who got into the sport because his rich ex-driver dad. and a championship team were taking in random juniors for fodder and he happened to be faster than them. the same team who are making weirdly racialized comments about the last champion. and also you realize this new guy never won a feeder series. and won the championship because the guy in charge fucked up. and the commentators are insisting hes overcome so much to be here. but youre pretty sure the worst you've seen him face was when people on twitter pointed out his girlfriends dad is a fascist. and his weird culty fans are harrassing people online and in person. f1 are waiting for you to clap.
