That thread from Maya Weug is such a heartbreaking read man, it’s an absolute disgrace that a driver as talented as her can be left struggling to even find a drive just because teams refuse to acknowledge and support female drivers outside of F1A.
disputar o campeonato da f1a até a última largada e ser tirada pra bosta antes, durante e depois do campeonato é uma das provas de que a maioria das equipes e academias só estão interessadas nos talentos femininos pra preencher cota mesmo, maya derrube maranello
i actually find insane that ferrari saw maya weug race and chose to completely drop her from their academy the moment she was ineligible for another f1a season when she showed incredible potential even before
lando norris is not a victim of homophobia or misogyny. is criticism of him sometimes rooted in misogyny and homophobia? yes. but he isn’t the victim of it. women and queer people are. and centring a cis,straight man (who himself has been associated with… not the best of people)
It’s apparently an unpopular view, but I actually think critical thinking is a victim of f1twt. Not in its raw form, because it isn’t tangible, of course. But idiocy is closely linked to f1twt, so in a certain sense, that is the case. So I can see why people say that.
F1 fans will deadass say the most disgusting things about women and their bodies but cry that their fav white male millionaire is a victim of misogyny???
Yeah well people had a problem with this too. Called a teenager suggestive and overexposed for wearing a necklace and now the fruits of that labour are nobody will work with them incase it backfires but they still want motorsport adjacent content. Yall set this system up.
F1twt mad about this as if they are not the ones who made wags relevant in the first place for brands to use them. Don't give them the platform if you don't like them getting attention from brands that look for audiences like that.
