may i ask why you dislike Charles? I read some of your posts and i thought of them to be pretty anti charles. Could just be me but they did give that sort of vibe. apologies if not!
I have a complicated relationship with him tbh😭when I was first getting into f1 I gravitated towards Ferrari, and Charles was my number one until like, cota this year? Sadly I am a sucker for a bitch with a sad narrative and big eyes and Carlos fits that bill perfectly. Hence how my blog has slowly become more and more Carlos focused, which I think can sometimes come off as anti Charles
Now I don't like. Hate Charles by any means. I fear that I often fall victim to combative internet culture, especially when I see people giving what (in my very biased opinion) is unfair criticism. This mixed with a dash of parasocialism (that I try to keep under control most of the time) means that when I see people bashing my favorite climate criminal millionaire, I get online and defend said favorite climate criminal millionaire. Obviously this is very much brain-rotted-interner-user behavior of me but it's the truth. Often this doesn't come from a place of dislike for Charles, more just me being a die hard 55 girl
So. No. I don't hate Charles. At the end of the day I would honestly consider myself a fan of his. The most upset with him I've ever been was after Vegas this year, my blog was NOT pretty after that😭. But even then, I woke up the next day and was like. oh. it was 4am and I was sleep deprived. I don't actually hate that guy. Now of course there's some complicated feelings of how much Ferrari as an entity favored him against Carlos ("Ferrari's favorite son" was NOT an understatement) but honestly, most of my issues with him aren't actually issues with Charles as a person, they're with his fans (the majority of f1 blogs I have blocked are lecfosi. Not because I hate Charles but because his fans are a LOT. and that's coming from a swiftie)
