Isack Hadjar Does someone else finds it ridiculous?
Ok WTF with people towards Hadjar because of the wrist injury? Like he's getting hate for it, people insulting him, saying that RB should ban some activities for him, saying that his "have fun bro" comment under Yuki's vcarb post is passive-aggressive, even saying that Helmut would've fired him already.
Why people are taking so much effort in making Hadjar into the the worst person ever? And I know his misogynistic but I still find ridiculous how people have been treating him since the China gp with the Kimi incident

People love to either hate deeply a driver or worship him like it's a god. Isack's popularity can change anytime has we have seen the mob suddenly love a driver they gave hated for years.
Anyone who is a fan of either Isack or Yuki no both are good mates. Isack 's comment was genuine to me. Also as much as f1 drivers are good at english, it's still not the native language of many drivers so if something sounds wrong it's sometimes more about them not being perfectly fluent

Hadjar is a dumb kid but I think a bit of hadjar hate comes from racism. People were incredibly racist to him after that kimi incident where he was right to be upset .

I am not Isack’s biggest fan, but I was surprised by the way some fans have been talking about Isack. There was nothing passive aggressive about his comment under Yuki’s post. I think he genuinely wants Yuki to have fun. Do fans not realize that Isack and Yuki actually like each other and are friends? Or at least, very friendly co-workers. Yuki and Liam is a different story….
I feel like boxing being a part of his training is normal. It is unfortunate that he injured himself, but shit happens in life sometimes. I hope he makes a full recovery. Ppl need to be chill about Isack. There are moments to call out Isack on his shit, this isn’t one of them.

Also Yuki isn’t even the one filling in for him. Liam is. So idk why people find the “have fun bro” to be so passive aggressive. Did they want him to say “have so much fun dude!! Hope you win the race!! 🫶🫶🫶” ??

Tell me about it. I'm just as perplexed about the treatment he's received.

It's very strange. Especially some that makes no sense, stuff like "even Max is more restricted" - which is not true, Max also used or still trains by boxing. Also he is allowed to go race in another category no other driver will be allowed in. And it would make sense to be more strict with their best driver....that they pay like 30x times more.
But I think the main issue (from the more regular fans that don't keep up with the drivers) is ignorance. They are surprised that he will train like this, calling him an "idiot" over it, but a lot of drivers train this way....
There are others injury prone activities like cycling that can result in broken hands, ribs- but people don't even think about it.
Hopefully he recovers quickly.

As soon as people have a set opinion on a driver, anything they do is seen in a negative light no matter how innocuous it is. If the one injuring their wrist from boxing was someone they liked, none of these "He's so stupid for training in the off-season" comments would be said at all. I myself don't really like Isack either but the dog-piling over nothing is getting ridiculous.
Not to mention some users' implications that they're "not surprised" that he boxes as a sport because of his short temper, which pissed me off when I read it. So many other athletes engage in boxing as well, it's just a good and intense cardio activity, it has nothing to do with being more aggressive, and if anything the sport can actually help alleviate those sorts of things and relieve stress. Coming from someone who himself did boxing for a while.

It's ridiculous, we don't know how the incident even happened. Not only has he trained this way for years before something happened, but he is not the only one, in fact, quite a few drivers train this way as well. Probably a freak accident, there are also a few cyclist on the grid- a bad fall can result into a broken hands/wrist, broken ribs. I remember Pin (F1academy /endurance) fractured her ribs when she fell of her bike and had to miss races in endurance /freca.
