Today’s podio was something like:

GURL OMG THIS RACE 🙇🏻😼🧎🏾‍➡️ Absolutely Top S+ in my race tier list.

You know what's funny? Lando never even properly said that he was a championship contender. The only championship he ever spoke about was the constructors, the F1 media pushed him into this fight.

The way some people act on here you would think he said at some point that he would be champion no questions asked but he hasn't, he was always pessimistic about the gap.

My brand is and always will be that the tax evading millionaires are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves but damn I feel like we are crossing some lines with Lando now. The man can't even open his mouth without fans of almost every driver on the grid starts dogpiling on him. You hear one out of context sentence from an interview and just run with it only to find out that he didn't call Max' win lucky. (But you don't correct your post because why would you, Lando probably deserved the hate for one reason or another right?) You see team orders happen and call him unworthy without considering that every champion on the current grid has benefited from team orders. (But it's OK because Lando is so fucking annoying anyways right?)

Idk if it's because I have been part of many fandoms where things have escalated to the point of no return and that's why I get scared when I see this level of piling on someone but I genuinely feel like we have reached an unreasonable point now.

in my humble opinion, the moment you know you or a friend truly in it as a sports fan is if you have beef with sports reporters. officially in the trenches

obviously the popularity of the drivers plays massively into which pairings become popular & that is normal but it IS funny that two of the less popular drivers have easily one of the juiciest interpersonal relationships (close childhood friends -> massive fallout that has never been explained -> one occasionally revealing too much emotionally in interviews and the other saying nothing -> after years the two of them end up on the same disastrous team together just trying to stay afloat) and fandom at large is like hmm. well anyways

frenchies at alpine ending their fraught childhood friendship to guys who can't stand eachother one of their last race as teammates on podium together... and with the guy one of them fought and the other's career he shattered... maybe poetry exists on the racetrack
