the one comment that will always piss me off more than any other, especially when it's coming from so-called legitimate fucking journalists, is the argument that lance doesn't deserve to be in formula 1 because he doesn't care. which first of all, i'm sorry, i didn't realise we had created mind reading technology, that small bit of news must have slipped past me. secondly, it's clearly bullshit.
two weeks before the bahrain gp last year lance had a biking accident where he suffered a fracture and displacement in his right wrist, a fracture in his left wrist, a partial fracture in his left hand and another fracture in the big toe on his right foot.
after which he was told he would be missing the first few races of the 2023 season. but 48 hours after his accident he had surgery to insert pins in his right wrist to help it heal and the doctor who did the surgery told him that with some luck and dedication to his rehab, he could be back for jeddah, maybe bahrain if he worked hard. he clearly wanted to race because 14 days later, he was back in that car in time for the bahrain gp and ended up placing p6 despite being in tremendous pain and feeling like his "wrists were on fire".
does that genuinely sound like someone who doesn't care about the sport to you? especially, as all the lance haters likes to point out, he's fucking rich and doesn't actually need to race. he could have waited until baku like his doctor first suggested and saved himself a whole lot of pain but he wants to race just as much as the other 19 drivers on the grid. the difference between him and the other drivers isn't the fact that he cares less, it's the fact that yes, he is very rich and as such can choose to not cater to the whims of the media if he doesn't want to. the suggestion that him being disinterested in doing interviews is because he doesn't care rather than because he's a private person is just so fucking dumb.

Hey do you guys remember that one conference where Seb was defending Lewis after he said something after a collision, explaining how if you put mics on footballs or other athletes of course you would hear shit from them too because there's the adrenaline+ the heat of the moment?
Yeah?
Okay.
Now can we use that same logic when it comes to drivers even if you don't like them?
Not once has Lance insinuated that Daniel was at fault or blamed him.
The only thing he said , after he crashed into Daniel, was that Daniel breaked, he wanted the team to check for damage and he called him an idiot (one of the tamest things that was probably said this race.)
This illusion like Lance said something so horrible and made Daniel out to be the this big evil dude who breaktested him is so for from removed.
And it comes from poor journalism and in my opinion an unprofessional response from Ricciardo who is one of the most beloved drivers and of course will have most of the fandoms backing.
And I don't mind if you want to blame Lance (eventhough multiple experts saw him as in an unfortunate circumstance) but audacity some of you all show without actually checking if things are being told correctly especially when everyone knows how much the media loves to stir up shit to then accuse Lance which is already bad but also to wish harm on him etc.
Yeah, I think certain people or parts of the fandom are really showing their immaturity here.

Logan deserves a better day since Australia. Liked him because of the memes, but now I'm supporting him.
I had thought I already answered this, but it turns out, I didn't. He does deserve a race weekend that goes well for him after Australia. He was so ready to prove how much he's been training and then it was taken from him.
Williams went downhill after that day with two(I think) more crashes and repeated issues. Logan has improved since last year, but being in WIlliams with a car that ass will not help him prove that. I really think the previous team principal should have left him alone and let him finish F2, but he jumped the gun and put Logan in before he was truly ready.
I will always support him no matter what. He genuinely gives it his all and when he does good, all people talk about are his mistakes. It's sad.
Speaking of Logie bear. I Dm'ed him in a moment of weakness to tell him just how proud I was of him, even if he wouldn't ever read it

You know, I wasnโt going to respond again, but there are so many things that are around here because you act like itโs only Daniel who has to go through all this crap. And before you jump down my throat, I didnโt say that you said that. Iโm saying that you and the people who are jumping to defend him act like itโs only him going through this.
Literally everything I said was things I've witnessed and you keep brushing them away and basically saying, "I don't agree so it didn't happen." or "I didn't see enough of it so you're obviously wrong"
I never said calling him nicknames or saying he has bad luck is babying him. I literally never gave any examples of how his fans were babying him because I thought it was obvious what I meant by that. I would go gather screenshots of what I actually meant, but I blocked that persona and I can't remember their user.
I may have been wrong about the racist thing, but you have to understand. It is a white man singing the n-word. I'm a poc myself and I have said that I don't think he's racist, but if someone said the n-word, they're going to be called racist. As I said, I don't believe it, but that's what happens.
This is what I mean by you waving away my experience. Just because YOU didn't see a lot of it and the comment you checked don't seem like they're ablest or racist does not make it a minority. You don't seem to understand what I meant by it's not a minority. I never said every hate comment there was racist or ablest. I already touched on the part about the racism, but it seems like, with most of my words from both the original post and the reblog, you ignored it.
I did say that the racism was a minority, but the abelism sure as hell isn't. The many F1 post, VCARB, Random fan posts, Aston Martin's posts, other F1 blogs posts, Twitter, as I said, they have all used ablest insults against him.
I'm not making shit up about what I have seen.
That isn't an example of a bubble. AT all. Because just like you have seen so many articles praising Tsunoda and putting down Daniel, I've seen the opposite, and I've seen people saying both should leave. Again, here you go saying I'm wrong because of the things you have seen. There can be articles like the ones you've seen and articles like the one I've seen existing at the same time. I have literally seen the same comments Daniel gets be aimed at Yuki as well. I quite literally said, i said it wasn't the opposite because Yuki is literally experiencing that as well. That doesn't mean that I'm in a bubble
I'm sorry, but it's like you're making it a competition with the way you're responding. Before you go and say anything I'm not putting words in your mouth.
Yes, you could've blocked me because if that's something you didn't want to see or it upset you, why tf would you not block me?! I chose to use this tag because that's what the topic of the post was, Daniel Ricciardo, so no. I wasn't going to not tag my post when I saw so many Lance haters doing the same thing I was, but wishing death or harm upon Lance. I am well aware how tagging works and I used the tag properly. I did nothing wrong, but you and a bunch of other people attack me and berate me like I did.
I am a woman of color myself and that's why i pointed out the racist comments that toxic Daniel fans have made about Tsunoda. IT also really seems like you skimmed over what I said because I am a Daniel fan. I don't like it when people call others racist either.
Just like you said you aren't backing down on the points you have made, neither am I. Because As an autistic person, I know what some ablest insults look like. I hope you know that when it comes to being ablest, it's more than calling someone autistic or saying the r-word. There are literally so many comments using ablest insults who have admitted that they knew it was ablest.
You don't even get the point of my post. You came in, gun's blazing, only talking about Daniel as if I was insulting him with my whole chest. I could have made this so much longer and broke down each of my points to you since you're so adamant on telling me that
I'm done talking about this. You can have your opinion, your truth, but you won't tell me I'm wrong about mine. As I said, literally every driver experiences these things, but you make it seem like Daniel is the only one.
I tagged my shit correctly and if I were to write another post about Daniel's shitty toxic fans, I would use the same tags because that's the topic. It's not a minority because you obviously don't know all the ablest insults are in those comment sections,
I'm not trying to be rude and I'm sorry if it came off that way, but you clearly don't understand what I meant by anything I wrote in any of my posts.
I'm done talking about this cause you clearly have taken your stance and you won't even try to understand what I am talking about. I am sorry that you and Daniel are being attacked, but the same thing is happening to Lance, but we are just going to ignore that, right? You took this one post out of context and didn't even bother looking for more.
Because of you and you putting words in my mouth and assuming shit I have said, people have come from your blog to send me vile shit in my inbox. I deleted the post since people are taking offense to it for no damn reason when I have specified that it's that toxic fans I am talking about. You took a post about me saying that it isn't alright for people to with death upon Lance, use ablest insults against him, and use anti-Semitic words, insults and other things against him and turned this into a Daniel is the victim post.
I'm only leaving this up for an hour before I block you because you obviously don't get anything I said. Just like you should have blocked me when you saw my post, I'm going to block you
Oh my god, the shit I have to read, honestly. Just some random things I wanted to say as a response to various posts, not just this one.
Itโs not our fault if for you guys itโs all black or white. We donโt baby him, we do admit when heโs wrong. Iโm tired of you guys acting like we donโt hold him accountable for his comments when we do. We call him out when things happen and when itโs related to the discussion. We donโt need to keep hating on him or bringing it up in every unrelated conversation like you guys do, just for our indignation or anger to matter.
About racing, in Japan, we said he made a mistake with the tire choice - as far as I know, it was his choice - and for losing positions at the start. The crash wasnโt his fault. Imola 2022, Brazil 2022 are other times we called him out for his mistakes. Same thing with lap times deleted for track limits on other occasions.
He was right to get mad about Tsunoda not switching positions, since the blue flags fucked up both of their races. After the race, he just called him immature and everyone was calling him racist because of it.
Speaking of which, the ableist and racist comments on Stroll and Tsunodaโs posts are a minority. Itโs not fair to act like they represent the thoughts of all his fans because thatโs not true. Daniel also gets called the r-word and his age is a constant discussion among F1 fans, but I still wonโt point fingers and say X, Y and Z fans are all ageists and ableists because of that.
You say itโs wrong to bring up that Strollโs dad bought him a seat, while at the same time you say that Daniel only has his because of Horner or because heโs funny, so stop being hypocritical.
I donโt know what world you guys are living in, but journalists are not belittling Tsunoda. Quite the opposite, considering many want Daniel gone, and Iโve lost count of how many times this year Iโve read articles about how Red Bull should fire Daniel.
Weโre not the only ones joking when our driver gets angry and says something. Look at the reaction people had when Daniel called Tsunoda immature or when he complained about Sainz impending him. Most comments are about how theyโll brush it off and forgive everything they did because it was against Daniel.
You talk about us, call us names, and speak of our driver, then come calling us toxic? Please.

Not to mention there are people up here and on other platforms actually wishing death on him. Like, wtf?!
I'm going to say this, if it was any other driver other than Lance that ran into the back of Daniel, I don't think the reactions would be, but because it's "Daddy's Money Stroll" everyone has decided it's suddenly okay to be absolutely vile and horrible. Each driver gets hate, but it seems like sometimes Lance's is just on another level. It's disgusting the things I've seen said about him on Twitter, on here, on Instagram, it's just horrible. Lance is a good driver, but people rather see him as a payed driver more than anything else. Lance made a mistake yes, most times we'd laugh it off if it was another driver but since it was Lance, woah I'm just woah
