Now that I think about it. Mental health discussions in f1 have always been swept under the rug, haven't they?

As a short example: to this day there are people who think that the sole and primary reason Nico Rosberg retired was so he could go out as an undefeated winner who was afraid to loose, and that was a whiny thing to do. And not the fact that the sport was more than likely killing him (he cut his hair and changed helmet colours to loose weight. What do you think he could have done to his own body?). It's been near nine years since then, and yet.

There is a very dangerous narrative of hyper masculinity pushed onto drivers to this day and it is terrifying to witness.

Another example would be the way many men (and boys) praise Max Verstappen's father for being abusive, because "Max is a champion! It worked!" But what about the very real kid? What about the adult man today, who sees his own merits and accomplishments shadowed by people claiming they are due to his father? And when he is angry it is "dangerous", when he is happy it is "pride," why isn't he allowed to feel? Why does he have to be the picture perfect driver that he'll never be, because he's a human and not a racing machine?

When Lando Norris expresses sadness and anxiety he is a whiny little kid. When Lance Stroll distances himself from hateful criticism he is a spoiled brat. When Oscar Piastri is aloof he is cold and calculating. And whatever feeling Lewis Hamilton will express, the press will analyse and criticise tenfold.

Why have we decided that F1 drivers were not allowed to be humans? Why do we retain these dangerous ideas of toxic masculinity even in 2025, and refuse to acknowledge the complex emotions they are allowed to feel?

They are not perfect and never will be. Pretending that they are, constructing houses of cards on a pyramid of lies will only allow for the narrative and the fall to hit even harder when a facet of their true, flawed, personality reaches the surface.
