Guys I’m so compelled by George Russell, and the weird way he’s talked to/about by the media, toto, the other drivers etc is so WEIRD I mean the hairdryer comment, the way his panic attack was filmed and shown, the lack of respect he gets idk it just doesn’t sit right with me because he’s like a slightly more effeminate British man it’s giving like… homophobia but he’s straight lol I just think it’s very weirdly reflective of the culture of f1 atm
it's an intersection of misogyny and homophobia. he's seen as such an effeminate man that implicit bias from the more masculine men on the grid view him as gay. because any man who's even a little in touch with their emotions is obviously gay, right? but it's also that they view his traits as effeminate and being more "soft" and "hysterical" is seen as being "womanly". he's literally experiencing both. and it's all deeply patriarchal.
FINALLY, the perfect F1 themed, Internet discourse reaction pic...
