I used to think the George Russell and Woody comparisons were a reach, but after seeing this video??? 😭

Off the top of my head, the FIA had to speak out about harassment against its own officials this year following backlash involving Colapinto fans. And let’s not forget 2022, when Silvia Bellot received death threats after Alonso’s penalty at the Austin GP. The harassment was so serious that it became a major catalyst for the FIA launching its United Against Online Abuse campaign in 2023. But yeah, sure, let’s keep pretending Lewis fans are the worst of the worst. As for the sabotage accusations, I’ll link a few tweets below

If you’re going to call out people for making distasteful jokes, then call out everyone doing it, not just one fanbase

“A teammate completely comfortable with the car.” I find that statement particularly interesting, considering the excuses now being made about Charles still adapting to the brakes. Let’s imagine something for a second. Imagine spending over a decade with one team, getting comfortable with the people around you, the way they operate, the engineering relationships you’ve built, and the characteristics of the cars you’ve driven. Then imagine leaving all of that behind and joining a completely different team. Suddenly, you’re working with a new race engineer, learning an entirely different way of communicating, adapting to unfamiliar systems, a different steering wheel, different brakes, and a car you had absolutely no input in developing. A car that wasn’t designed around your preferences or the things that made you comfortable and competitive for over a decade. You’re essentially starting from scratch while everyone around you expects immediate results. That’s what Lewis had to deal with last year. And what happened when he struggled? Did Charles fans extend him the same understanding they’re now asking everyone to extend to Charles? Absolutely fucking not. Instead, we heard endless criticism about how Lewis was washed, how he couldn’t adapt, how Charles was outperforming him, and how there were no excuses for his performances. But now Charles is reportedly having difficulties adapting to the brakes, and suddenly we’re supposed to take that into consideration when evaluating his performances? Suddenly being uncomfortable with certain aspects of the car is a legitimate explanation? I’m sorry, but the double standard is ridiculous. Lewis had to adapt to an entirely new environment, a new team, new equipment, and a car he had no say in developing. Charles is dealing with brake changes within a team he’s been part of for years, surrounded by people and systems he’s already familiar with

Charles probably was receiving death threats. Let’s be real, pretty much every driver on the grid has received them from another fanbase at some point and it’s not okay. But I think her point, and what she’s trying to get across, is that she brought forward evidence of Charles fans making racist comments about Lewis and literally wishing death on him. And instead of acknowledging how disgusting that behavior is, you immediately tried to dismiss it by saying, “Well, I’ve never seen those accounts in Charles’s fanbase before,” and claiming it was only one account when there were actually six different accounts. And even if you’ve never personally seen those accounts before, who cares? You can literally look them up and see from their profiles and posts that they’re Charles fans. But even beyond that, why does matter? The point is that Lewis is still receiving racism and death threats, and you’re sitting here trying to downplay it while simultaneously expecting everyone to sympathize with Charles over the hate he’s receiving. I’m sorry, but no

I’m just going to completely ignore this post because, well, we all know how wrong it is. Anyway, on a completely different note, I genuinely think 2023 is one of Lewis Hamilton’s most underrated seasons, and I feel like we don’t talk about it nearly enough. Who agrees?

I’m confused. From my understanding, Charles is contracted through the end of 2028, and Lewis reportedly has a unilateral option to extend through 2028, which would give Lewis considerable control over whether he stays rather than Ferrari having complete discretion over his future. Lewis also said earlier this year that he’d be around for “quite some time,” his exact words, which doesn’t exactly sound like someone planning to leave at the end of 2027. Obviously, nothing is ever certain in Formula 1, so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see

“Still dragging it.” Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you people? This person is literally sitting here preaching about how nobody deserves death threats, how unacceptable they are, and how people need to do better. Meanwhile, they’re engaging in the very same behavior they’re condemning. And then, when that hypocrisy gets called out, suddenly it’s “He already apologized, why are you still dragging it?” Are you fucking serious right now?

Leclerc fans have genuinely reached a new fucking low, and I never want to hear any of them lecture Lewis Hamilton or his fans about accountability ever again. Because if this past week has proven anything, it’s two things. One, Lewis absolutely can take accountability, and he has. But even when he acknowledges his mistakes and takes responsibility, some of you still find a way to make it seem like it’s not enough. No matter what he says or does, you’ll never be satisfied because holding him accountable was never really the point. Two, some of you are so incapable of admitting when you’re wrong that you’ll go as far as creating fake videos to push a narrative. And the ones who aren’t creating them are more than happy to spread them around, using fabricated content as yet another excuse to attack Lewis. Then, when the video gets exposed as fake, after you’ve already said the most hateful and disgusting things about him, you can’t even bring yourselves to apologize. Hell, you can’t even do the bare fucking minimum and delete the post. Instead, you double down and start talking about, “My point still stands.” I’m genuinely fucking baffled by the behavior I’ve witnessed from this fan base. The lengths some of you will go to just to justify your hatred for Lewis are beyond embarrassing. At this point, it’s not even about supporting Charles anymore. It’s about how far you’re willing to go to tear another driver down, even if that means spreading something you know isn’t true. And the fact that some of you would rather defend misinformation than simply admit you got something wrong is genuinely fucking disturbing. What the hell is wrong with some of you?

Ferrari has been dealing with negative coverage for the past 20 years because they haven’t won a Drivers’ Championship since 2007. And that negative coverage will continue for as long as they fail to win. Ferrari was getting dragged long before Lewis ever put on that red suit. Lewis didn’t create Ferrari’s problems, and he certainly isn’t responsible for two decades of criticism
