Do Some Of You Genuinely Have Nothing Better To Do Than Hate On Another Person? Just Because They're

Lando didn’t say they won’t be friends anymore if he doesn’t apologise. He just said he would lose a bit of respect for him. The quotes going around have been translated into Italian then back into English and then have an added element of media melodrama added to them. Same with Lando supposedly saying Max should have let him past, he never said that he sarcastically said he had enough wins, he didn’t need to employ those tactics to get one more. Max also said in the heat of the moment that it was all Lando’s fault and GP was literally laughing and kicking Lando and agreeing with him. Max has had time to reflect and backtracked on that now. What he is saying is about as close to an admission of guilt as you can get. Lando hasn’t spoken on it since the immediate aftermath interviews so people are still quoting those. He looked much calmed down in McLarens race summary where he didn’t really address it at all other than to say he was taken out which was objective truth. They’ll sort it out between themselves once they’ve both calmed down and they’ll move on.

People acting like Lando shouldn’t have fought so hard (literally the same people claiming he was too chicken to fight Max not long ago) and picking apart every tiny error are pathetic, as are those people saying Max should just have let him by. So much of this fandom online is so deeply toxic. The hate on Lando in particular, but also on Max too, is absurd and childish and says so much more about the people doing it than it does about either driver. The parasocial issues in the F1 fandom are some of the worst I’ve ever come across.

THIS. exactly this is what i've gathered now that it's been like a while since the whole thing has happened. some of y'all need to get a life and go to therapy to deal with all the hatred you have stored inside.

if i say something at this moment it will set feminism back a couple centuries

lando two wins everybodyyyyy!! so proud of my polite kitty <3

charles on the podium!!! that talented motherfucker. and of course the loml max. congrats to him on p2 but red bull should really get their shit together or they'll be losing the chance to win another wdc.

that 20+ sec gap was crazyyyy. I'm so proud of lando forever and always.

(see guys, even though I'm a max fan, i don't have to hate others.)

One of the best things that has come out of sports and society being more comfortable with tender masculinity is that people in competitive sport no longer have to hate each other with a burning passion to compete. What a win it is for humanity to have a gentler understanding of competition and the friends you can make along the way.

HE'S BABIE

redbullracing: putting Max's knowledge of cat breeds to the test!

okay, let's get one thing right. there is absolutely no place for blatant hatred in this sport. NONE. we've seen this plenty of times before with max, seb, lewis and now towards lando.

even i was misinformed by a few posts on twitter, and i thought that lando said something which he completely didn't. i corrected myself, watched the interview on my own accord and was shocked at the way people spin other people's words.

it's one thing to not like a driver, or a celebrity or a famous person, it's completely another fucking thing to send them threats, say things that are just completely fucking hurtful.

please, please be so fucking mindful of what you write and put out in the world on the internet. I'll be better, you can be better too. hatred is never something which should be spread so normally. be kinder. be better.
