Anyone who thinks F1 drivers are some kind of saints or actually fanfic or novel like heroes needs to log off and go touch some grass.
They are human.
That means they are flawed. Just as all of us are. There is not a one person who is perfect, it's just not possible.
The difference between them and us is that their lives are splashed all over social media, tv and any other type of media really. All the things they do and say get broadcasted all over, interpreted over and over. And in many cases also misinterpreted.
It's everyones right to agree or disagree with what they do or say, but often fans need to remember that we don't actually know them and only get to see snippets of who they are or what their pr teams want them to appear to be.
Being a fan doesn't mean you have to play either judge or devil's advocate.
You can be a fan of someone who has views and does and says things you do not agree with. Just as you can agree with someone you, as a fan, dislike.
