lando speaks out on online abuse in sport, calling for passion without losing respect and humility ๐๐ป
"it's just not easy for anyone, honestly. the thing is, you see this in every sport. and i certainly support big fanbases and having great fans, i think it's great, and it's normal that you support people and don't support people. you get that in every sport.
but there's obviously a certain level of how far you take that, and especially on social media. people are happy to hide behind keyboards and type things. but i think abuse always takes things too far. death threats is certainly one thing that takes things way too far.
but we want passionate fans. we want people who love our sport, who want to cheer for drivers. and you don't need to cheer for everyone, i certainly don't think i'm going to get all the fans. but there's just a level of respect and humility i think people should have. yeah, we all make mistakes. one of those was me making a mistake last weekend. but there's a level of things. and as a community, we need to understand how we can make it better, not just in formula one and on social media, but in every sport, because sadly it's a thing that happens around the world everywhere."
i was curious which sponsors agreed to remove their logos because thatโs not an easy thing to do and it ended up being LNkart and quadrant (his businesses) and pure electric (his dadโs business).
WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED๐ญ
Weโre saving you money at the pump. Starting next Monday, weโre suspending the federal Fuel Excise Tax on gasoline and diesel across Canada.
Youโll save up to 10 cents per litre from April 20 until Labour Day.
Our deepest condolences go to the families and friends of the Jazz crew of Air Canada Express flight AC8646 on March 22.
