Being a Max fan has really raised my expectations because as we verstappies are arguing about WDCs, talking about Max's 71 wins and 4wdcs and multiple fastest laps and poles, other driver's fans are busy getting rattled over a beauty contest.
They don't have a way to attack him except talk about his looks (he's hot btw). Anyway I'm here for the sport and my driver is killing it, I'm sorry if yours has failed and all you can do is fight for him in a beauty contest while attacking other drivers.
You shouldn't support your driver blindly and blah blah
Leave people to support their drivers the way they want. Some of you are haters hiding behind being a "fan" and this is the time that your wolf skin comes out.
Genuinely see some of you being ready to be shitty about Max immediately. Very very telling. It's okay to admit you just like him for your ships and not as a driver.
Both drivers are allowed to touch him push him off. Not even an investigation. And Max gets a penalty. (Deserved) but this is such a joke show. How many dollars did Zak pay MBS?
ok but again in what universe did they think that hards were the only option. like what even went through their heads to have them be like: ah yes the worst possible tyre for a restart with minimal laps to go is the best option we have?
Also appalling from Red Bull and GP is actually becoming worse at his job too. Yet again adding fuel to the fire. As he has done several times in the last year now.
idk thinking about how sometimes you have to show up for people you aren't that close to, because sometimes you're just the person who's there. sometimes you invite a new friend to a party and end up having to sit with them through a panic attack. sometimes you run into an acquaintance on their worst day and they need to talk about what happened. sometimes someone is crying in a stairwell and you're the only one around to ask if they're okay. and none of this is "trauma dumping" or whatever the fuck it's just being there for people because you're the one in the room with them.
they say you can't pour from an empty cup but i've been doing it my whole life and aside from all of these mysterious ailments it's working out great for me
