Red Bull-Shit

Red Bull-Shit

Even the English like him. His fans swarm every race in orange uniforms. He’s a punk. And he’ll never be Hamilton, who most closely resembles Jimmy Clark and Ayrton Senna. This whole week has been a disgrace to Formula 1.

I’ve stayed away from commenting on this racing incident, but now I can’t be silent. This move is egregious, ridiculous, racist, and an incitement to future fiery crashes. It’s an outright attempt by a rich driver’s rich family to intimidate the greatest driver in Grand Prix history from ever again challenging the most well-heeled brat on the circuit’s ambition for an undeserved Formula 1 title.

History. In the years since Verstappen first drove in Formula 1, he has been reckless, ruthless in the close driving, and involved in multiple crashes. He gives no quarter, like the champion driver Schumacher whose records Lewis Hamilton has bested in fewer races without nearly as many raw racing maneuvers and car wrecks. Verstappen is a Schumacher wannabe, a Dutch (read Germanic) win-at-all-costs Teuton whose wealthy father prowls the track at every race with an often-flashed wallet that, by coincidence, always lands on camera when Max has some pending rules or driving infraction that might cost him points or time. Yes, Max always seems to win the close calls.

I bit my tongue this last week when there were ambiguous stories aplenty about rabidly racist condemnations of Lewis Hamilton flooding Instagram. Everyone condemned them, including Red Bull, which timed its condemnation of racism to coincide with Mad Max’s (yeah, that’s his F1 nickname) singularly graceless and sulky expression of resentment from the hospital — from which he emerged hours later with zero evidence of injury from the crash.

Missing from the wide but paper-thin press coverage of the racist abuse of Hamilton on Instagram was any effort, by any media outlet, to identify the source of the abuse, which should have been easy to determine, given that Europeans all speak different languages. Dutch is the easiest Scandy language to identify, given that it is the most like German, in prose and sound.

The Dutch hate Lewis because he wouldn’t back down to their callow, sharp-elbowed bully. Fuck them. If the only way to win a Grand Prix title now is through the criminal courts, then fuck Formula 1 too, forever.

Mad Max Verschtuppen, 15 wins, 6 first lap collisions, 28 DNFs, and no F1 titles.

In case you didn’t believe me. Lewis has 99 victories in 256 races entered.

Oh. By the way. During the same time period when Max had 28 DNFs, Lewis Hamilton had this many.

Lewis Hamilton is a better driver, a better man, and a greater champion than Max will ever be. He’s also black. Something the Aryans of Nordic Europe still can’t forgive or forget.

A last word from wiser heads than any in Dutchland.

Oh. Right. Context. Almost nobody ever thinks of that.

More Context. Seven times Max crashed opponents and

got away with it. Often on the first lap of the race. Now

this creep is whining when chickens come home to roost.

P.S. Politics out there in F1 too. People are being blocked for posting history and analysis in defense of Hamilton. Try this though. Same accident, same season, racing positions reversed. When Max does it, the other driver is at fault. Christopher Horner, the Red Bull mouthpiece, is adamant about it.
