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.
#f1#formula 1#formula one#max verstappen#brazilian grand prix#brazilian gp 2024#like europe is still classist as fuck#f1 reminds the world of that consistently#also idiots is a direct quote from someone who refused the deal re: broadcasting rights and regretted it big time#before anyone comes at me lmao#edit because i forgot: the British commentators used to say seb was only winning because of Newey's (a brit) designs#which Adrian has called out because they started using the same rhetoric with Max#and Adrian (+ his wife) have vocally criticised the british bias#also: adrian newey design 🤝 rb golden boy = lethal combination#because if it was just the designs as the British media claimed... why didn't their teammates have equal success with the same design?#but i digress#sebastian vettel#fernando alonso#alex albon#yuki tsunoda#michael schumacher#only tagging drivers i explicitly mentioned but theres many more examples

British producers be like: THEM: "We love this! Let us put our heads together and get back to you early next week!" SIX MONTHS LATER UNPAID INTERN FOR THAT COMPANY: "Everyone you spoke to has been sacked, we hate you fuck off."

American producers be like:
THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON YOU'VE EVER MET: Hey kiddo do you wanna meet The Rock? Do you wanna meet Margot Robbie? Do you want to fuck my wife? I can't give you a job but gosh darn it you've got moxxy, let me put you in touch with Doug Bigcheese, the biggest producer in Hollywood! DOUG BIGCHEESE, EMAILING YOU BACK WITHIN 20 MINUTES: Hey kiddo, that guy said you're awesome! Lemme ask round town and in the meantime you can live in my house borrow my car and by the way have you met my wife?!

#acting#writing#producers#Americans Vs Brits#Americans are just so nice#Nobody has any work right now but gosh dang it the yanks have the right attitude#I think a lot of it is a generational thing too#British boomers seriously think taking 2 weeks to respond to an email is acceptable and I don't know how to tell them that that's just#too slow?!#You're leaving money on the table!#Maybe this is me coming from social media world where everything is instant#But the Americans#They just get it#They tell it how it is#They don't blow smoke up your ass#If you're not right they'll tell you and they'll help you out of the pure goodness of their cheese and apple pie hearts

not to make it a competition but it's real funny to me how every other f1 driver speaks at least two other languages aside from their mother tongue and all the british drivers are just like "english 👍" and look uncomfortable when they're made to even try to say hello or thank you in another language
#ollie bearman i'm not talking about you il mio piccolo ragazzo italiano#carlos and charles speak 3 languages like it's nothing and do media in all of those languages#pierre learnt portuguese for kika........max's portuguese is also reputably quite good#it's like the brits don't even WANT to try#george where's your spanish!!!#lando where's your portuguese!!! OR DUTCH?#lewis has learnt buzzwords in italian and while i don't fully expect him to start coming out with sentences#it's just the difference innit#it's not even the “english being the lingua franca” factor bc almost every other driver has a language apart from english#that's also not their mother tongue

(default being the one you know best/knew originally/first think of, not necessarily your favourite)
#this is the true divide between brits and americans i think#i'm sure jonas brothers will be the vast majority (american website) but i am counting on a few brits to come through#even just for my sanity. saw an instagram comment with thousands of likes saying it shouldn't be called a busted song#because nobody has ever heard that version#and that just felt so wrong to me. i didn't even know the cover version existed until a few years ago#polls

𝔠𝔥𝔞𝔫𝔢𝔩
requested by 💋🚬!
☾billy idol, attending a chanel show where his supermodel girlfriend steals the spotlight, takes her backstage for a passionate, intense encounter that leaves them both breathless and satisfied.☽
☾warnings: smut, rough and intense physical interactions, explicit language, power dynamics, and explicit descriptions of intimacy☽
⁎⁺˳✧༚80s-90s rock masterlist
billy idol had no business at a chanel show, but there he was, front row, lounging like a king among mortals. you, his girlfriend—yes, the girlfriend—were the star of the runway. you were the kind of supermodel whose name people didn’t just know; they whispered it.
you caught his eye the moment you stepped out, wearing a slinky black number that hugged you in ways that made his imagination run wild. your walk wasn’t just a walk; it was a challenge, every sway of your hips a silent dare. and when you shot him that smirk at the end of the runway, his lips curled into a grin that promised trouble.
backstage after the show, the energy was electric—a mix of champagne and sweat. you spotted him leaning against a stack of crates, leather jacket slung over one shoulder, that wild grin still plastered on his face.
“you like the show, rockstar?” you teased, stepping close enough that he caught the faintest trace of your perfume.
“only because you were in it,” he shot back, pulling you in by the waist. “you look like sin walking in that dress.”
“you should see it off,” you purred, eyes glinting.
his grin turned wicked, and before you knew it, his hand was wrapped around your wrist, pulling you into a dark dressing room.
the second the door slammed shut, his mouth crashed against yours. it was rough and demanding, all teeth and tongue, and you could feel the heat radiating off him as his hands found the zipper of your dress.
“been teasing me all night,” he muttered, yanking the fabric down until it pooled at your feet.
“maybe i like watching you squirm,” you shot back, breathless.
“careful, baby,” he growled, backing you against the vanity, his hands gripping your thighs. “you’re playing with fire.”
you gasped as he lifted you onto the counter, his lips trailing down your neck, teeth grazing your skin just enough to leave a mark. your legs wrapped around his waist, pulling him closer, and when he pressed against you, hard and desperate, a moan slipped past your lips.
his hands slid up your body, rough fingers leaving goosebumps in their wake. when he pushed into you, it stole your breath, a sharp cry tumbling from your lips as your body arched into him.
“that’s it,” he murmured, his voice low and wrecked. his grip on your hips was firm, steadying you as he set a pace that had you clutching at his shoulders, nails digging into his back.
each thrust sent a jolt of pleasure coursing through you, building and building until it felt like you were about to shatter. his mouth found yours again, swallowing your moans, his breath hot against your lips.
“billy,” you gasped, barely able to speak, the intensity of him overwhelming.
“come on, baby,” he growled, his voice rasping against your ear. “let go for me.”
the coil inside you snapped, a wave of bliss crashing over you as you cried out his name, your whole body trembling. he wasn’t far behind, a guttural groan spilling from his lips as he buried himself deep, his movements stuttering as he followed you over the edge.
for a moment, the only sound was your ragged breathing, the room thick with the heat of what just happened.
when it was over, you were still perched on the vanity, your legs shaky, your dress halfway torn and abandoned on the floor. billy leaned against the wall, lighting a cigarette like he had just headlined a stadium.
“best chanel show i’ve ever been to,” he said, exhaling smoke with that devilish grin you couldn’t help but love.

"This is my ~culture~ so if you criticize it you're an ignorant ethnocentric American who doesn't know other countries exist" look. you CANNOT pull that card when you're British and the topic was outdoor cats. You're not an oppressed minority and Britain is not a magical land where cats can't be killed by cars, just keep your damn cats inside
#every time this topic comes up on reddit the brits are SO pissed about how the americans are oppressing them about this#like c'mon man you can argue for letting cats out but you can't just pretend that cats can't die in britain. like what are you trying here

jason would get so annoyed when someone (probably dick or tim) is watching a show like bridgerton and comments on their language by saying it's old English but he keeps it in because he's trying to be a better brother...
only to snap when they KEEP doing it and he's like, "NO. NO, IDIOT. IT'S NOT OLD ENGLISH! IT'S A MORE FORMAL ENGLISH! CLOSE TO EARLY MODERN ENGLISH, PROBABLY! JUST LIKE FUCKING SHAKESPEARE!" and said sibling (again, probably dick or tim) is just like, "wow, jay. you care a lot about english." and jason stares at them unblinkingly before storming out.
#vani.peep#my hcs#jason todd#jason: it's not even fucking middle english which i read before#jason: fucking canterbury tales. fuck bridgerton. fuck my life.#bruce: jaylad you okay?#jason: no. buy me ice cream.#coming from me who just about dies when i see those videos of people speaking “old english” like no. please.#sorry i was an english literature major and had to take brit lit and had to memorize the first 18 lines of the canterbury tales for a grade
