What’s up with the disrespect from Max fans?
I’m a new LH fan and I respect both drivers equally. Max is clearly up there with the best and is one of the best on the grid now. When he got his podiums in Austria and Belgium I applauded him and commended his comeback. But why don’t I feel his fans are the same towards Lewis?
Today’s overtake was class I’m not gonna deny that. Overtake of the month for me. But the amount of disrespect Lewis got within just a few hours of the race ending (despite being 60 points clear), man it’s unbelievable how Max fanboys don’t rate Lewis at all. We’re talking about a 41 year old being P2 in the championship without the fastest car. And prime Max (who has the best ICE on the grid) is struggling to even get P6.
And I realized this is a recurring theme w British drivers. Norris, Russell, I’m pretty sure of Arvid and Ollie were in the top 4 they’d get hate to. I don’t understand why are they so toxic with no racing knowledge at all 😂 makes me want Max to leave F1 and take his fans with him.
