i'm not that big on the nickname, but I you talked about fans treating "everything in his career will be meaningless until that's achieved / seem to believe he's wasting his career now / see everything that's not championship P1 as a utter failure" I feel like part of that is just chirlies having... fear. Like, what if Ferrari just never gets their shit together? What if the car is never good enough for long enough of the season to clinch the wdc? If/when he finally wins the wdc, a lot of chirlies will be even more annoying (not derrogatory, i love yall) but also, a lot will finally chillax
Oh yeah I don't doubt that, it's just not how EYE personally enjoy sport, u know? Like, I don't think it's all or nothing. I don't think narratives that don't end in crushing victory aren't meaningless. And I get the feeling that some think the emphasis on the predestined nickname TO ME ties into that way of engaging with sports narratives. I'm just like, idc what he's predestined to do, this isn't a fantasy novel, or a career retrospective. I care about what he's doing now!
But again I GET IT it's catchy and cool as fuck, people can enjoy things! It's just not something I'm drawn to
