my personal take on f1 fans

disclaimer: do not take this seriously

first of all, let me get this straight. from all those fellow f1 fans, there is a small flaw in them. for example, let’s say that when max verstappen wins a GP, you will most likely find harsh comments under f1’s instagram page, even twitter. i mean it is really normal to encounter something like that, am i right? every person or every athlete definitely has at least hundreds of haters.

but we’re still on the surface… you see, when you dive into the ‘f1twt’ (a name for f1-related tweets i believe) you will find a bunch of fanbase accounts. it varies from one driver to another, in this case i’ll say lando norris’ fan accounts. there is a stereotype of people that support him and the most famous one is teenage girls. ‘regular’ f1 fans see them as some annoying weirdos, maybe i do too. basically, what they do is idolizing lando like he is some kind of a god or whatever that is, it’s like a fanatic thing. these kinds of fans exist everywhere, in any fanbase.

do you really think it’s over? nah, we still got charles leclerc’s fanbase. i would totally say that this is the worst one i’ve ever seen. goddamn, it is horrendous, i can’t say much. as you go deeper into this fanbase, it gets so much worse. you will see hate tweets, cringe opinions (real), etc. i once saw a tweet joking about lando’s bottled win at sochi. well i did laugh on that, but when i see the replies…iykyk.

despite having such a weird fanbase, lando and charles are some talented drivers, i support both of them, respectively. well well you better hold on, cause wait until you see “TeamLH” LMAAOOOO. ok my opinion ends here, have a great day everyone.
