tbh i do try to give max fans the benefit of doubt. i dont actually think hes the most morally atrocious driver there is, plenty of other have said or done worse and they still have legions of fans on here. and lewis isnt perfect either (if anything im not a fan when people imply he can do no wrong)
but god do some of the max blogs on here make me so deeply uncomfortable. one thing i have noticed specifically that max fans love to do is dig out every one of the few instances where lewis fans talk about the racism he faces where it might be an overreaction or a misjudgement- while ignoring the literal hundreds if not thousands of overtly racist comments and incidents and backlash lewis does in fact face.
and no not everyone has to speak up about social issues or instances of racism, ik i myself limit how much of that i do on my blog. but when your blog is literally 50 posts back to back with shit like "omfg i cant believe this random lewis fan jokingly called the fact that he didnt win p1 racist" and not a SINGLE mention of the fact that lewis is constantly receiving abuse that is undeniably racist day in and day out both online and offline...what does that say? and its not just one but dozens of max blogs that i have seen do this, if anything it seems to be a pattern or trend among that side of this website, to constantly downplay racism. if someones only consumption of f1 social media is those blogs it ends up giving the impression that lewis faces no real racial abuse and every instance of lewis fans calling out racism is an overreaction or a hyperbole which is just...not true
this pattern of people ignoring massive amount of racism and cherrypicking the instances where victims or allies arent perfect isnt anything new, i have seen it happen in my own life again and again and again. its pretty much racism 101 really and to see it be a habitual behaviour on this website in the name of sport is sickening. i feel like it shouldnt be that hard to support a driver (or not be a fan of one) without resorting to straight up racism but ig i ask too much of people lol

Hungarian GP 2021: a summary
we got (1) Lando and Yuki interaction and im thrilling to see more
Seb and Lewis saying "f*ck Hungarian government LGBTQ+ rights only" go off kings!!!!!!
Nicholas on a tank ??? what the hell
i can't help but laugh picturing seb going on amazon and typing "lgbt flag merch" and then just adding all the things he finds on his cart
fans literally mobbed drivers on their hotel parking, felt weird to see that much ppl
Seb was invited to a proposal and actually WENT and GAVE them a HANDWRITTEN letter with all his best wishes EXCUSE ME i am in LOVE with this man, definitely a character written by a woman im tellin ya
Redbull being ONE MORE TIME in a racist polemic, who's surprised tho
Old racist Helmut was back at it, with, this time, a wonderful exposé about how's Yuki not like other Japanese (don't ask me how other Japanese are supposed to be, i dont wanna throw up again)
and we also had Christian saying that last race, Max faced abuse such as Lewis. I think he's confused. Or dumb. Or a torry. Or delusionnal. Or all those things at the same time.
Mercedes accused them of wanting to ternish lewis' name, are they wrong ? not for me
Steiner saying that his drivers are crashing too much and our dear Jenson kindly reminded him that their car is R U B I S H
Mick's mechanic face after his crash, memeable/20 ?
Alpine being the cutest team and organising a toddler like bday party for Fernando, he looked so happy im crying
Seb taking confettis in press conference to throw them on Fernando, then popping the thing in the wrong direction which means on him, idk whether to laugh or cry
Esteban told children that santa isnt real sir please
Max and Lewis going out of the pits at the same time, and almost touching each other, netflix is already preparing their best slowmo
Lewis played mind games and got himself a pole, smells like drama
Pierre asking his team manager a freaking FERRARI for his good quali, you'd see that only in f1
Lewis' recipe to win: YMCA + crowd booing
Max went "you better stop” when asked about lewis and himself rivalry
was it a race start or a bowling game ????
anyway Valtteri and Lance yeeted Charles, Lando, Sergio and themselves
Christian is waiting for Bottas like 🙂🔪
George going ahead everyone just like that 🤷🏻♀️
Lewis on the grid like🧍
It was lights out and away we go but only for Sir Lewis Hamilton, is it nobility privilege ?
Pit lane was a mess
Things that are above imagination: mick and max fighting for a position
FERNANDO VS LEWIS, EVERYTHING COMES BACK TO WHERE IT COMES FROM big 2010s vibes i love the energy
anyway thanks fernando for doing the lord's work and being a legend, man of the day indeed
George was ready to sacrifice himself to make sure the team has the maximum points, what a lad
Carlos said a big no to Scuderia Ferrari about their hazardous strategy, continue like that hun you’re doing amazing
ESTEBAN OCON IS A GRAND PRIX WINNER 💙🤍❤️ (but doesn't know what he's supposed to do)
Why does his mechanic has a peppa pig plushy tho 😭
Pierre couldn't help but decided he had to leave his mark for Esteban's first win and got himself the fastest lap
BOTH WILLIAMS IN THE POINTS AAAAAAAAAAH
Seb p2 but FIA said "not on my watch" and got him disqualified
Both FIA and Aston Martin decided to go on a "who's the pettiest" game, the FIA is currently winning with their amazing decision to send the WHOLE DAMN CAR in FRANCE
Nando lifting 1m86 tall Esteban as he was his son, I’m in tears
Sewis right only ✋🏼😔
Daniel post race camera footage, i am not crying you are
Lando saying that it’s bottas’ fault and then Valtteri came for apologising, awkward
George's tears I- 🥲
Carlos' walking to the stewards as he was going to be beaten up, what the hell is happening there ?
anyway he had ANOTHER podium that he couldn't celebrate properly
Nico Rosberg spilled the tea and said that Horner refused Toto's apologies uuuuuuuuh ☕️☕️☕️☕️
Fernando held Lewis for Este, but also for Max ??????????
Honestly one of the best race, just iconic thing on iconic thing it was ✨wonderful✨

and while booing is part of most sports. it isnt that big in f1 with drivers who are not black (yes max was booed but he isnt often and hardly any other drivers get booed in such a manner with so many fans engaging with it). like i sai i know you are a max fan (i am too and wish him to win) but being silent and not objecting to the abuse lewis is getting (because lets face it it is slightly racially motivated like this really cant be countered as a fact) but objecting when it affects max is wrong as a fan of the sport. you can not like merc and still not stand for this. they arent mutually exclusive concepts #get a grip
I needed to get this outta my inbox.
Lewis was booed after Silverstone…after he sent Max into the wall at 51gs, he made shit as fuck comments about Max and Max’s fans booed him because of the shit he has been talking about Max. Yes there probably were racist wankers who like Max just cause they are racist I am not denying that and they are not fucking fans of Max.
But for people to get pissy about Lewis getting booed at races such as Hungary or Zandvoort but laugh and make comments, nasty as fuck comments about Max being booed that’s when I get annoyed. If you do not like booing for one then should it not be for all?? I don’t like Merc at all cause they helped add on some of the shit Max got.
Booing is in each and every sport. City vs Man United, Chelsea vs Spurs, Barca vs Madrid, Ireland vs England. I fucking booed during rugby games Ive got too it happens and yes it’s really only happening this season because of how much of a rivalry was created but if you dislike booing for one then it is for all. The comments thrown at Max after the booing were awful.
So yes #get a grip.

You were run off twitter?? 😭😭😭 bestie it’s story time methinks cuz i missed that momentous occasion
I got cancelled so many times, my offences include but are not limited to:
That one time I said [driver name redacted] looks like he has a racist fursona*
H*rner hoeing hours -> I had it coming for this one, but I stand before you a reformed, recovered woman
A notes app essay titled "In Defense of Feeding [commentator name redacted] to Crocodiles"
Saying property damage isnt an emotionally intelligent way of expressing anger
Writing a 2 page essay (with Harvard referencing) why dressing your kids in [team name redacted] apparel is a hate crime and child abuse and should incur maximum penalty
That one time I said f1 isn't a meritocracy and that there is a great wealth (pun intended) of privilege involved in succeeding
* I was basically right
