@PaulMcG1992 We were in the seats on the pit straight that day, and nobody had a clue what was going on

Ricky Gervais schooled The View, and you can bet the woke panel hated every second of it.

In a rare moment of unfiltered truth on mainstream TV, Gervais cut through the outrage culture with surgical precision:

“Just because you’re offended, it doesn’t mean you’re right.”

“If you try and please everyone, you’ll please no one.”

“Freedom of speech is so important.”

Boom. While the hosts sat there clutching their pearls, Ricky reminded everyone that feelings aren’t facts, pandering is pathetic, and free speech isn’t up for negotiation.

The View built its brand on performative offense and identity-driven outrage, exactly the kind of fragile ecosystem that crumbles when a comedian dares to tell the truth without a trigger warning.

This is why Gervais resonates: he refuses to bow to the cult of sensitivity.

In a world where “I’m offended” is treated like a veto button, he’s out here defending the one principle that actually protects all of us, the right to speak, joke, and disagree without fear.

The View crew probably spent the rest of the day processing their trauma.

The rest of us? Just grateful someone still has the balls to say what needs saying.

Free speech isn’t hate speech. It’s the antidote to it. Respect, Ricky.

If you cheered the Abu Dhabi 2021 robbery, you’ve got ZERO right to cry about FIA rules ever again. #F1

[F1losopher @F1losopher]

I'm very touched by all these Verstappen and Alonso fans fighting for "the good of the sport" regulations.

Where were you during the aftermath of Abu Dhabi 2021?

Bunch of hypocrites.

[@jay.teamlh.social 🏁 @WhingerSpice]

I remember the sport being ruined back in 2021 when the race director literally broke the rules and corrupted the integrity of the contest in the final race.

You were perfectly happy to accept the sport being ruined when it benefitted you.

We shall take no lectures. 👍

@PaulMcG1992 I have tinnitus from attending races in those days 😂

@F1PIX10 I hate seeing him in that Williams 😢

[F1losopher @F1losopher]

When you say it out loud.
That they chose to only remove the lapped cars between Lewis and Max, then brought the safety car in a lap earlier on purpose AND let the result still stand!

It will forever be the most scandalous sporting thing I've ever witnessed.

@TheBishF1 @EdSpencer99 The bloke is a total clown, completely unaware and out of touch. How this idiot was allowed to get anywhere near the presidency in the first place, beggars belief 🤦‍♂️

[ESPN F1 @ESPNF1]

Throwback to when Lance Stroll spoke of his unhappiness with what went down in Abu Dhabi 🗣

Can we please stop pretending that Lewis rookie record got broken?
Adjusted by the current point system Kimi isn’t even close to that record.

[dave wakey @dave_wakefield]

@Motorsport A combination of these two - the real ones, obviously
