A lot of you underestimate how prevalent British bias is not only in F1 but across sports generally, and even in other industries.

Max saying he has the wrong passport in the paddock is an accurate statement. Do you think he, Seb, or Michael would've been half as vilified by the British media if they had a British passport instead? Would Fernando? Do you think Yuki would get half as much shit about his radio "conduct" if he was British? Because it's the British commentators who consistently have issues with it, and say shit like it's "unbecoming" for a driver to speak that way, ignoring that 1 it's not his first language and 2 IT WAS ENGLISH PEOPLE HE LEARNT THAT LANGUAGE FROM. Sometimes people misspeak, but Yuki has always taken accountability and apologised if he has and if he caused harm. Martin Brundle did not get nearly as much backlash from the media when he misspoke and called an Asian driver a slur while commentating. He also never apologised for it.

Alex, one of the four Brits on the grid but who drives under the Thai flag, has said that the commentators only call him British born when he does well. He was completely excluded from the Silverstone publicity about the home crowd heroes, whereas George, Lewis & Lando were heralded, not only on race weekend, but for weeks leading up to it.

Alex's statement also reminded me of this Richard Harris quote, "When I'm in trouble, I'm an Irishman. When I turn in a good performance, I'm an Englishman." Genuinely, if I took a shot every time a British organisation/person claimed a talented Irish person was actually a Brit, I'd have died from alcohol poisoning years ago.

Hell, I see George wearing the poppy pin this weekend in the lead up to remembrance Sunday. Do you know the amount of shit James McClean gets every year because he refuses to wear one? And he has very valid reasons for choosing not to wear it, yet he's torn to shreds every year by not only random people on the Internet or on the streets but by commentators and the media too.

Because of how this sport became mainstream and because no one challenged Bernie Eccleston's monopoly on broadcasting rights back in the day (people were given the opportunity to buy a share of the broadcasting rights; the idiots said no), this sport has prioritised the British voice/perspective for decades. I know the other broadcasts are just as biased for their home team/drivers, but the British one is the biggest one, as it's the main broadcast for better and more often for the worst. It's the broadcast with the most reach and influence. Their bias has to be challenged eventually if this sport ever hopes to properly expand and grow. The British bias is so difficult to miss once you start noticing it.

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.

except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?

at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.

except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.

about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.

he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.

why so much effort for this? no one knows

i didn't know what a tumblr sexyman is and my friends had to explain it to me and they said that Alastor is one, BUT - when i checked the Wikipedia page there was only Lucifer on that list, BUT - when i checked the edit history for that page, i saw that Alastor indeed had been on that list but was later removed again without any comment, BUT - this fucking comic took me so long that he's now back on that list and this shit isn't even funny anymore, enjoy

Pac: You're talking with Mona!

Isa: Mona! Who are you, Mona?

Mona: Oi! Charmed, Mona, I am Mona. A diva, a gossip, bafômetrica and kilometrica as well.

Isa: [Laughs] I love her!

Pac: It's true, she's incredible.

Pac gave his sister Isa a tour of Arkanis today, and she immediately fell in love with Mona (just like the rest of us)! Thank you again to @lil-lost-mind for checking my translations, I really appreciate it!

Isa: Oh, it's AuAu!

Mona: Hey there~

Pac: Can you hear it? This isn't Au Au, no– this is Mona! It's Mona, crazy!

Isa: [Laughing] It's so cute!

Pac: Can you hear what she's saying?

Mona: Do you have two voices in your head?

Isa: [Laughing] Voices in my head– [She laughs seeing Mona jump] My god–!

Mona: How strange, hmm? What is this?

Isa: I love this!

Pac: You're talking with Mona!

Isa: Mona! Who are you, Mona?

Mona: Oi! Charmed, Mona, I am Mona. A diva, a gossip, bafômetrica and kilometrica as well.

Isa: [Laughs] I love her!

Pac: [Overlapping] It's true, she's incredible.

Mona: Did you know I help... Pac with tips? I give tips.

Isa: With tips? What tips?

Mona: Tips dealing with fashion, architecture, things like that, because your brother, he doesn't have the many experiences of Champs-Élysées,** hmm?

Isa: He doesn't have that, he really doesn't, I think you're saving him. Did you help him with his house?

Pac: She helped.

Mona: I helped, I gave it my touch, as you can see.

Isa: Oh, so you did everything, right?

Mona: No, I simply– I went with tips, in this case.

Isa: [Laughs] With- with tips–

Pac: [Laughs]

* Mona says, "Sou divônica, bafônica, bafômetrica e kilometrica" so this is just a play on words.

** Champs-Élysées is a location in Paris known for its world-famous theaters, cafés, and luxury shops. Mona is basically saying Pac isn't cultured, lol.
