just because dan ticktum isnt purposefully crashing into people anymore doesn't mean hes suddenly become a good person like he just complained about ""wokeness"" in an interview last january because people dared call him out on speeding on public roads. he is the epitome of bland white man. if i saw a photo of him and didn't know what he was famous for i would assume he was a racist minecraft youtuber
"It would have been easy to pit because that can be dangerous. I thought to myself, 'Screw it, I'll keep pushing.' Luckily, one lap later (after the contact with Fenestraz) the safety car came out," Ticktum explains. Then follows a statement that astonishes, "I was able to hit the curbs a couple of times and nudge the driver in front of me to get rid of the wing so it would impede me less. That worked really well!"
Sometimes I think about how Dan Ticktum, despite all of his shittalking and controversies, was never exposed to be a racist/sexist/ableist/etc. It really shows he doesn’t have those prejudicial believes in his system. Maybe I sound like an apologist but I really don't think it's fair to put him in the same category of 'cancelled' with the likes of Rast and Piquet.
