".People don't seem to understand that nobody is obliged to offer praise to Max or any driver." Correct, however to deny a good/great drive the way he did adds up to negativity vibe. whichever driver would be involved. "because you HAVE to acknowledge Max in Brazil" The way he said the "understood" and afterwards even went on about it showed quite some negativity. Sure he can dislike Max but to deny that great drive doesn't help. You surely must understand I hope. The current situation on here is that everything is magnified. "Any passion you have for F1 can be drained out of you if you're not a Max fan. " Same other way around if you are not a Lewis fan.. it works both ways on here still I noticed. "I'm just thankful that I'm very resilient." Yes you are and I am 100% sure you sleep well every night without letting anything bother you. And that is actually a big compliment and I unfortunately am not as resilient to it as you. That is why I made a decision which you read and I will execute soon.24-12-2024 19:44

The general vibe here is not positive, has not been for over 3 years. Best you can do if you don't want to be dragged into this negativity is stop posting and reading the comments here. Or at least as little as you can allow yourself to. It might be hard to hear but this is a fact. Now why you didn't feel welcomed here is as far as I saw it your negative posts about certain drivers or things. For example below you said you do not agree to Max masterclass drive in Brazil. No one cares if you are a fan of whichever driver but to dismiss his drive there is a cause for negativity on here. And that is not a matter of different opinion, every F1 journalist etc thinks it was a marvelous drive. Same if any other driver did this, like Ocon, he did extremely well too. Another example is your rofl with that rhyme of 44x8Legend. To agree to such posts is adding to the negativity on here. Another, "max fans get a pass", "they can goad on people".. see what I mean? Of course you will get negative reactions to those. Or do you think the MB or Lewis fans do not get a pass? They are as guilty as the others too. If you say you have been reading here for quite a while, you must have seen and know all this Best advice I can give you, only read the news quick and that is it, leave the comment section, I will.24-12-2024 18:06

You will have the privilege of seeing one of my last comments ever :) Correct that Max had the best car in 2022 (although first part of the year equal with Ferrari) and 2023. Correct that Max can drive around car issues and can still drive very decent with a bad car. Wrong that Lewis can't pass without DRS or defend without crashing. Yes, he did crash too at times but so do many other drivers, and yes, including Max for example. Correct that Lewis has a harder time driving with a bad car compared to for example Max or in the case of the past years Russell. However, in a good balanced car Lewis is very quick and always a contender for the title. Lewis underachieved? Depends how you look at it. In the best car of the grid he won all his titles so he delivered, except 2021. Could he have driven better in the past 3 years with the difficult Mercedes, maybe, but it wouldn't have made a huge difference in the standings anyway. edit : No need for you to stir up things like this, not needed and not wanted :)24-12-2024 08:44

Max did not close the door in Copse. He left room on the inside, more than a cars width actually. Look at if I remember lap 50 where Lewis overtook Charles in copse, there he took the apex, like he should have done with Max. Copse was a monumental mistake of Lewis, either back out completely or hit the apex. Don't forget Lewis was the car behind and could not do what he did with the speed and position he was in.22-12-2024 09:29

Max does not need or want any of such articles. He doesn't even want nominations for sportman of the year prizes, he just does not care. The car was not bad just because of braking, the balance and even the straight line speed were awful. Hopefully they can fix it and 3-4 teams can battle it out next year. to me it is a shame they change the regulations so much for 2026. Why can't they just have the current regulations in place for way longer, with some little tweaks every year to keep the cars from going faster. This way you will see them all come together and we would have much more exciting races to watch. Edit : Not to bash or anything but there have also been hundreds of articles on this blog as to mention or ask or as question as to Lewis being the GOAT. So this has nothing to do with Max. All those things are just stupid since F1 is too depending on the material you got, so to question who is the best, GOAT etc is not needed and not working.21-12-2024 17:24

Max did make some mistakes, just as any other driver on the grid. But Lando had the luck of the best car since Silverstone and therefor gets more points. See even the power rankings of F1 itself. Besides that, who really cares about such polls/votes etc.. for sure the drivers do not care.21-12-2024 17:38

If you look at it objectively it works both ways. Anti-Max fans or Lewis fans don't criticise their own 'side' either if they misbehave. So you can't accuse one side while the other side doesn't do that either, it works both ways. The biggest issue is that if you start trying to get everyone along, it will be a full time day job because if you miss to criticise one comment, they will all bash you for missing that one "why me and not the other comment blablablah". And yes, I speak of experience :) But how many years is this still going on without any improvement? I did try early 2022 if you remember, some rotten apples left, other rotten apples joined, as long as the mods don't act swiftly we all know it will never change here unfortunately.23-12-2024 08:42

You made valid points in this post. "We had one Admin and that was is. He's now left" You mean Matt? He's still on the GPBlog employee list. Else I have no clue who else.. I noticed hardly any comment gets deleted nowadays so there is noone to mod anymore? "But understand that people are allowed to criticise." Correct, if something happens that is not right, criticising that is absolute correct, whoever is involved. "If I see Max fans tackling their own, then I'm way more inclined to do the same on this side." Like I said, I did and try early 2022 and got all crap over me for doing so. It did got a bit better but eventually most people don't change. So yes, I stopped. Anyway, hope you read my email because I meant what I said in there.23-12-2024 09:36

He is even saying he is not a Max fan and having his reasons for that. Didn't take the time to look those up but I can have a good guess though and I respect that. "edit : it is a best comment because this is how every user on here should react to any driver. You should not be a fan of a driver but should be able to give credits" Noone (err.. beside the obvious) is saying you should be a Max fan. That you grown to hate Max more because of trolls and social media is something you should stand above. Max can't help that those people write that stuff. And as for Lewis, he has been pretty unsportive with enough crashes into others as well. I for example will never be a fan of Lewis for many reasons but I do give him credit for good drives or things he does. Can I be influenced by trolls or social media who go berserk on him? I choose not to and avoid social media as much as possible :) Don't let others choose how you think of something/someone. Hope you don't go berserk on me for saying the above with "don't tell me what to do!". It wasn't meant in a bad way, trolls should not dictate how you or anyone else think of things.. the person involved has nothing to do with that. We can disagree on things without berserk mode I hope as long as we have valid reasons right? "edit: and about this "so if you want to keep up civil conversation with me," What did I wrote was not civil or accusing you of something? I read my comment back couple of times but see no fault in it.."21-12-2024 20:36
