my headcanon is that checo was tired of people thinking max and co were the only people rating charles and he was like it’s time to change the narrative and absolutely demolished carlos in that cooldown room
I'm going to make a longer post about this (with sources), but next time someone accuses Lindsey of race-faking, be aware that those accusations come from her sister who she has barely seen in 20 years and who has incentive to make Lindsey look bad.
Context: Lindsey was sexually assaulted by one of her step-fathers. Lindsey's mother went back to him despite knowing about the abuse.
Lindsey then cut contact with her mother and her sister, briefly started contact when Bandit was born, then cut contact again (which her sister did not take well). Lindsey's sister, who acknowledges she was assaulted, supports her mother and considers it a personal affront that Lindsey wants nothing to do with them. She says Lindsey should get over it and doesn't understand why she still refuses to see them, and blames it on Lindsey thinking her family is beneath her because she's rich and famous.
That sister is your "Lindsey racefaked" source.
That same sister has also admitted to not knowing much about their father's side of the family. She has also flip-flopped between saying that her father's mother is definitely Romanian, to saying she's not sure as she doesn't know much about him. So for all we know, Lindsey has more information than her and was telling the truth.
(Also important to note is that Lindsey has stood by her heritage claims even when confronted about it almost a decade later. She never deleted her tweets either)
My controversial opinion is that fia and liberty media is killing the sport. Wanting f1 to be lgbt friendly and all is a moot point bcs they had literal nazi as a director until 2009 for YEARS. Now they’re besties with oil money and usa, ignoring whole ass history of motorsport. Them building 2 race tracks in USA instead even one in India is a joke. Lewis won’t win anything bcs they’ll literally won’t allow him. If it won’t be max, then they’ll make sure lando or Charles or smn else will be winning. They’ll blatantly break the rules for it. Anyway, I have lots of resentment for f1 lol
and your resentment is valid!!!! there is something SO fishy going on with that organisation because at this point they don't even bother to hide it. their prejudice against lewis stinks from miles and ever since liberty got involved the sport had only gone downhill. so many long time f1 fans i know have recently stopped watching bc of all the fucked up choices the fia has made and i know it's just going to get worse
