YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SAD THEY MAKE ME

everyone is a maxplaining fan

oh no, I don't agree with explicit hate one bit, it's also only certain driver tags where it seems to escalate to that extent too, and I don't agree with hating on driver's families especially when it's speculation or over something entirely unrelated

sorry if I made it seem like that sort of thing is what anti tags are for, because it shouldn't ever get to point of some of the nastiness you'd see on like twitter

oh no no i completely understood your point and i agree with it. my point was just that some people, often times take it too far. you don't need to apologise. and twitter is just a breeding ground for hatred. people there are constantly at war.

the whole point of anti tags was so that if people felt the need to say something mean it didn't go in the main tag where people could see it who didn't want to

filtering tags exists, filter out the anti norris or anti verstappen tags, etc. and you won't see it anymore but you can't police people wanting to express their opinions - just politely ask they tag it appropriately so that you can have it hidden unless you look for it

fully agree with you about the over analysing their private lives because that's nothing to do with us, who they date, who they want to be friends with etc, literally none of our business, but we are allowed to have an opinion about on track behaviour since that's public, same as you would football, rugby, hockey etc.

i can understand that. but the thing is, I've seen it just go too far. I've seen posts talking about drivers families under these tags. i do avoid these tags as much as i can, but they sometimes show up. i can understand criticism but i genuinely do not understand blatant hatred and petty comments.

and of course we're all allowed to have opinions and express them but there is a way to express them well.

guys f1 is not about going to war hating other drivers. it's also not about making sure who they're dating is a "good" person or not. it's about watching cars go vroom vroom in circles. i get that we all have our favs but that DOES NOT give you any right to dictate or micro inspect their private lives or hate on other drivers. i get that we all have opinions about all the drivers. that doesn't mean you have any right to go on the internet and just be a hater.

i am just shocked at all the anti-lando, anti-max, anti-oscar, and many other terms. like how miserable and unhappy are you with yourself and your life that you have to go on the internet to express hatred about people who actually don't even know who you are. support your favourite drivers for sure, but don't go around spreading hatred.

as of who they're with, and their personal life. these are GROWN men who are ADULTS. they know what they're doing and can make decisions of their own. you should never form opinions based on a couple of pictures. you don't know what their private lives look like. you absolutely have no right to dictate their personal lives. especially sending threats. like in what world is that okay? get a job ffs.

and as to how the drivers react to certain situations, you have to keep in mind that you can never know them personally. you don't know what's going on in their head. how many times have all of you argued with your friends and in the heat of the moment said shit or done shit. all of us have gone through that. so, just relax, alright?

if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all.

and as i have said multiple times in the past, focus your energy on supporting your favourite driver, not bringing down others.

and I'm not going to sit here and pretend that i like all of the drivers, i have my own favourite drivers that i love and i also have drivers that i strongly dislike. but that's my opinion. i don't go around being a vengeful person on the internet of all places.

james vowels pisses me off in a way only a man like that can.

Can not stress this enough, but fuck off Vowles

It’s wild that people don’t like Max. He’s hella competitive yeah, but seems like such a sweetheart as well. I really liked his interview with Will Buxton. But I guess that’s how I like my athletes. Cutthroat at their job, but also softer and straight forward outside of it.

lando two wins everybodyyyyy!! so proud of my polite kitty <3

charles on the podium!!! that talented motherfucker. and of course the loml max. congrats to him on p2 but red bull should really get their shit together or they'll be losing the chance to win another wdc.

that 20+ sec gap was crazyyyy. I'm so proud of lando forever and always.

(see guys, even though I'm a max fan, i don't have to hate others.)

i want everyone to know, i still haven't moved on.

(i was listening to this while looking at these btw. so y'all know where my mind was going)

my two favourite people in the whole wide world

him getting mad on getting one wrong. nerd <3

redbullracing: putting Max's knowledge of cat breeds to the test!

everytime i look at him, i have this urge to let out the loudest screech know to man because WHAT DO YOU MEAN SOMEONE HAD THE AUDACITY TO HURT THIS CHILD.

what's more gay, the whole pride month or whatever these two white men have got going on?

max GET OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY verstappen with everyone else vs. max sorry let me just squeeze by you right here verstappen with charles

well....

🕯️ manifesting this podium 🕯️

uh so was gonna congratulate george but fuck. congratulations to lewis my king on p1. and oscar and charles on p2 and p3.

i mean george's car was underweight so i understand but i still feel veryyy icky about the whole situation. it was his team's fault not his. i would set everything on fire rn if i was george.

this season has given me nothing but anxiety.

you guys would NOT survive old f1. my dad fucking cackled when i showed him all this was happening. he said, and i quote, "some of ya kids would have thrown the tv back in the day." and then proceed to tell me about the incidents and eat his snacks.

"Bring back cunty F1" "Bring back F1 drivers who don't care about PR and just say what they think" "Bring back F1 where the drivers are actually allowed to be rivals"

You fools. You insolent buffoons. You can't handle the Ferrari drivers taking shots at each other in separate interviews. You can't handle Max saying what everyone else is thinking. You can't even handle Lando Norris existing. And you think you would survive watching Multi-21 happen in real time? Or, God forbid, classic F1? I'm laughing.

because wtf is happening in this sport now?

tell me again how this was a DESERVED win? a win that was gifted through lying about his tyres being ruined to slow down (when they weren’t) and emotional manipulation and guilt tripping live on tv. how anyone is celebrating such a dirty win is beyond me. and this is NO hate to oscar. he did nothing wrong here. mclaren did. they lied to him about his tyres being degraded when they weren’t, threatened him about not having the teams support if he didn’t give oscar the win even tho a second earlier they admitted oscar couldn’t pass him, guilt tripped him for TWENTY whole laps live on tv despite knowing how vocal lando is about struggling with his mental health about what other people think about him. this is not the kind of win I’ll ever support or celebrate. this is not the way oscar should have won and mclaren should be ashamed idc. if the roles were reversed, and they did this to oscar, i wouldn’t be celebrating for lando either.

mclaren are disgusting for this idc. the way will spoke to lando was disgusting.

you all hate on max like it's fucking normal. it's not. it's fucking mental that you think it's normal to send death threats to a guy who should be disappointed. his team didn't listen to him and fucked him over. i can hundred percent assure you that if any of us were in his place, we would be raging. think. before. you. speak.

I see a lot of Max fans being critical towards him for today and I'm not saying that you can't be critical of him, but maybe we should actually start to think about why he's so damn angry and frustrated?

I know Max comes across as if nothing ever affects him, but let's remember all of the drama RBR has been through pretty much since the passing of Mateschitz, but especially in the past few months. Besides the power struggles and whatnot, do you think it's easy for him to try and handle his father and his boss being at each other's throats all the time? Both of them being in the RBR garage? Seeing their star designer leave in the midst of it all? Seeing their advantage completely disappearing in the span of a few months time? Having to carry the team on his back because the car is just not performing and he has no teammate to help him out either?

Then whenever he gets into an incident the entire world seems to turn against him. No matter if he's at fault or not. Not to mention FIA or the public never seeming to give a fuck whenever someone makes dodgy moves against him, but when he does it he gets penalties and hit pieces.

Then when he can usually at least rely on good strategy even that is letting him down right now.

He's been keeping it together very well up until now and has handled everything with class, patience and maturity. But he's only human and at some point things will start to catch up to him.

Yes, maybe was too angry and frustrated today, but I honestly feel like we should regard him with a bit more sympathy and understanding instead of judgement.

Mental health is a thing for everyone. Even Max.

want them to start a daycare inside me

parents? parents.

do some of you genuinely have nothing better to do than hate on another person? just because they're disappointed and are openly displaying their disappointment? do you think that if you were in place of that boy, you wouldn't be disappointed and disheartened? of course he's gonna be hungry to win more. that's the point of all sports. do you think your favs will be happy to see you talk absolute bullshit and be cruel to another one of their friends? max and lando said they were fine. SO THEY'RE FINE. how hard is it for all of you to move on? and even if they aren't fine, IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. i keep saying this again and again, please stop hating on others, funnel that energy towards supporting your favs.

all this shit about anti-lando norris is just fucking cruel. of course he's upset. some of you make me fucking sick in the stomach and you should be ashamed of yourself that you have nothing better in your life than hate on someone. this goes to not just lando haters but every single one of the people who just hate online. it makes me sad that you're so full of hatred and miserable. go out and touch grass. reconnecting with nature will help.

anyways,

MY KING WON. sir lewis hamilton. back on the top step. i cried for like half an hour. he deserves this so so so much. and max never fails to amaze me with his absolute fucking monster talent. he's a machine. and of course lando p3. mclaren fucked up during the pitstops. but a 3-4 is really not bad. mclaren seem to be doing very well so far.

and i am so fucking pissed at ferrari. idek what the fuck they think they're doing. and ofcourse george. i cried when thaat happened. but hey again, it's racing.

all in all i'm so proud of all of the boys. one of my fav races of 2024, for sure.

they probably were twirling their hair and kicking their feet thinking about what the drivers were gonna say but they were bamboozled 💀💀

I cannot tell you how glad I am at how today turned out. Every single one of those "experts", journalists, commentators and former drivers with less than 3 races to their name who haven't achieved anything significant in their "careers" in F1, all coincidentally of course with a British accent showed up today with an agenda, I have no doubt about it.

They all spent the last 3 days shiting on Max, writing their little think pieces about his attitude, his skill, his craft, lobbying for him to get harsher penalties...They were prepared to badger every driver with questions about Max, trying to force them into saying anything critical about him, expecting to back up everything they've been writing or saying about him yet no one took the bait. In fact quite the opposite, most of the drivers asked defended Max like Daniel, Checo, Yuki, George, Fernano and Kevin, Nico straight up blamed the stewards for overreacting and called it a racing incident, Alex the same. Lewis refused to get involved, something tells me they were hoping for his take the most, I can only imagine how disappointed they were that he didn't agree with Andrea Stella's speculation about the 2021 season. Lastly, Lando of course who in a way admitted he overreacted after the race, suggested that Max maybe shouldn't have gotten a penalty at all and confirmed there's no issue between them.

I can just picture them quietly muttering "fuck" every time a driver defended Max in response to their many questions.

Imagine spending several days very publicly and very confidently giving your "expert" opinion only to have professional racing drivers, each and every one more successful than any of them could've ever imagined, disagreeing with everything you said.

EMBARRASSING 😂😂😂😂😂

sometimes babygirl is a 27 year old man

now that everything is sorta back to normal, here's my fav max verstappen edit of the week.

i will never not be sad when i think about you max verstappen.

THIS.

I think people are blowing this out of proportion a little bit. When Lando said what he did you have to remember that it was literally just after he’d been taken out and he was still mad. Sure Max was a little bit more calm and composed but I think that’s just because Max has learnt to control his upset straight out of races a lot since 2021.

I think that when they’ve both calmed down and looked over the race again they will talk it out properly. The press was press that happened right after the race. We haven’t actually heard anything since. The newspapers and the press always do this to create good stories, they spin things to make it seem like it’s more than it is. They will keep posting things for the next few days that are all from Sunday to make it seem like that rage from directly after the race is going on. From now until either one says something themselves again, just remember that what they said was after the race when tensions were high and the reporters were doing what they do best - trying to stir shit up!

Lando isn’t evil and neither is Max. Lando didn’t secretly not even want to be Max’ friend for a while and he didn’t think of Max in as high regard as Max thought of him.

Let’s also remember that Max did block Lando and Lando didn’t turn off. It was Max’ fault in that moment, however he has been punished accordingly (10 second time penalty in the race and two points on his licence) and let’s also remember that Lando was also driving quite ruthlessly throughout the race. They were both being a bit silly.

They’re in a fight for the championship. Things were obviously going to come to blows at some point, even if they are close friends. If their friendship can’t get past this, then maybe it never was meant to be. Having a friendship that’s close in such a competitive sport is going to have its big bad moments, let’s just hope that the boys can make it through. Let’s not put them down because the both of them genuinely had something good going on! 💕

i want all of you to genuinely think about stuff you say or write before you say or write it. i get it, you're frustrated as to why your favs are not doing well. but put that energy towards supporting them. not hating someone else. go out, touch grass. don't put out hatred in the world, there's already enough of it. if you don't like someone, then don't talk about them. talk about things and people you love or like. leave them alone.

yes this is about the austrian gp. i'm so sick of looking at all the hatred towards lando, max, charles, carlos and even george. it's RACING. things are always happening (i've said this like a billion times in the past week), and they're always gonna happen. it's the point of the sport. spend time on supporting and encouraging your favourite drivers, not belittling and bullying others. and i'm sure the drivers are fine. they're adults. they would have talked it out and i'm sure they're fine. even if they aren't, it's their lives. some of you need to get out of your parasocial relationships. i get it, you love them, they bring you comfort. THEN FOCUS ON THAT. not hating someone else.

Lando didn’t say they won’t be friends anymore if he doesn’t apologise. He just said he would lose a bit of respect for him. The quotes going around have been translated into Italian then back into English and then have an added element of media melodrama added to them. Same with Lando supposedly saying Max should have let him past, he never said that he sarcastically said he had enough wins, he didn’t need to employ those tactics to get one more. Max also said in the heat of the moment that it was all Lando’s fault and GP was literally laughing and kicking Lando and agreeing with him. Max has had time to reflect and backtracked on that now. What he is saying is about as close to an admission of guilt as you can get. Lando hasn’t spoken on it since the immediate aftermath interviews so people are still quoting those. He looked much calmed down in McLarens race summary where he didn’t really address it at all other than to say he was taken out which was objective truth. They’ll sort it out between themselves once they’ve both calmed down and they’ll move on.

People acting like Lando shouldn’t have fought so hard (literally the same people claiming he was too chicken to fight Max not long ago) and picking apart every tiny error are pathetic, as are those people saying Max should just have let him by. So much of this fandom online is so deeply toxic. The hate on Lando in particular, but also on Max too, is absurd and childish and says so much more about the people doing it than it does about either driver. The parasocial issues in the F1 fandom are some of the worst I’ve ever come across.

THIS. exactly this is what i've gathered now that it's been like a while since the whole thing has happened. some of y'all need to get a life and go to therapy to deal with all the hatred you have stored inside.

Im a lando fan, and even i think this is more of a racing incident. Yes max got punished, that should be it. Fans shouldnt get involved with hating him. Both lando and max (even if lando was a bit angry after the race im sure he has cooled down a bit by now) are probably fine, because they are freaking adults.

What ircks me more is people using this against BOTH Max and Lando, saying nax hasnt changed since 2021 when he in fact, did change a lot for the better, and saying lando just plain sucks.

They did what people wanted, they fought, they are in front of everyone fighting their asses off, and yet peopke STILL find stuff to hate? Is nothing good enough anymore?

tbh f1 fans are some of the most toxic fandoms i've ever seen. they hate on anything and everything just for the sake of it. this is, of course, not all of them but yeah i do agree with you. as i said IT'S RACING. things like this will always happen. if they don't then they complain that it was a "boring" race.

and i did see the lando hate just later on. and i was honestly baffled like how are people so fucking stupid.

if they fight on track they hate, if they don't they say "it's not old f1 anymore". they just can't be pleased.

ok so i know i disappeared again. but i have thoughts about the austrian gp and yes specifically about that incident. whatever happened, was both of their faults. the ratio may be different but this is racing. things like this always happen. they're always going to happen. people saying that max should've let lando pass, are you actually being fr? do you what sport this is? if he let lando pass he might as well retire. and lando in the press saying that they'll be friends only if max apologies?? like lan, i love you but that's not "friendship" is it? look i'm not saying that it wasn't max's fault. it was. it was lando's fault too. just because he's a popular driver and the other is a "villain", all the hate is being funnelled towards the latter. and don't get me wrong i understand that lando was frustrated and that he was very disappointed. but again THIS IS RACING. stuff like this is always gonna happen. heck it happened in the last race. it happens in almost all races. basically it just made me sad that after the video of max saying lando is his best friend on track, lando goes on to say in the pen that'll they'll only remain friends if he apologies. when i think it's common knowledge that max struggles with friendships, especially on the grid.

(edit: one of my mutuals told me as to how what a lot of lando has said has been translated from here to there. from what i first saw and read people were saying how he wouldn't be friends with max if he didn't apologize. but that's not what he said. he said he would simply lose some respect. which again, in the moment, understandable.)

and also i do totally, totally understand lando's frustration. and whatever he said was probably in the heat of the moment. they'll talk it out and it'll be fine. stuff like this has happened before as well.

and congratulations to george, oscar and carlos ofc. this meant so much to carlos as the shitshow that was spain. and ofc it meant a lot to merc too after the win for lewis too last race. i'm glad they're somewhat getting it together.

THIS IS NOT SILLY SEASON Y'ALL THIS IS DIVORCE SEASON. THE GIRLS ARE CONSTANTLY FIGHTING.

i'm sure they're fine since they're, yk, ADULTS. we all should honestly stop with all the hatred towards both of them. it's stupid and childish.
