so i genuinely can't help but wonder what would happen if the roles were reversed. we would probably be hearing non-stop complaining right now and for the next three weeks, mercedes would be turned completely upside down working overtime to fix it, Torger would be on every single microphone defending his prodigy (who still needs Bono to get on the radio five times a race just to remind him about track limits lol) and nobody would be talking shit about it. and everybody knows it.

don't even get me started on the absolute disgust of watching the commentators scoffing at George for passing the 'midfield' just because he has a 'better car'. it's always worth reminding both them and the idiots backing that idea that a 'good' car without a proper driver to handle it is fucking NOTHING. if you think it's that easy, why don't you go out there and do it yourself? oh, you couldn't handle the fight, could you? of course you couldn't.

and while we’re on the subject of blatant media blind spots, why is nobody talking about Arvid’s consistency? that lad arrives as a rookie this year, under a despicable set of regulations, delivers brilliant results for a young driver, and drives with actual composure. and yet receives zero credit because he doesn't fit their pre-packaged narrative. on the other hand, Oscar’s DNF was an absolute heartbreak, honestly. there's so much injustice that it literally gives me a reverse-hype effect on race weeks: instead of getting excited, i just think 'ugh, here we go again'.
