No caption needed. Hopefully Yuki can bounce back from this, but given Red Bull’s past behaviour towards drivers it seems not good enough, it’s going to take years.

Matt Bishop: Why Newey's new F1 team principal title isn't the real story Behind the noise over Adrian Newey’s new job title lies the real story: Aston Martin has quietly built a structure designed to unleash his genius

The #F1 world reacted with incredulity to Adrian Newey’s new job title - team principal - but IMHO there was not only method but also logic behind Aston Martin’s apparent madness. Click below to read my brand-new #MotorSport column.

I remember reading about that and I completely agree. It’s something I’ll never get used to or be able to get used to, honestly.

Yeah, poison is too harsh. There’s other things about the sport that I’d be inclined to call poison or serious institutional failures but that’s for another time

Structural harassment in the fullest sense of the term no, you’re definitely right about that.

Definitely not ignorant- just pointing out the behaviour and harassment it led to, which Red Bull has engaged in before is wrong! They can’t control fans and ultimately those people will do what they want, it’s just unfortunate because of how young Kimi is imo.

Very true, but obviously it was impactful as his instagram is now blacked out and that’s very sad!

Definitely did not toss all of them in with the idiots! Just the ones who sent Kimi the messages!

(Also, to put it out there: I used to be pretty much a fan of their team, given that I have as my pfp a picture of a driver who used to race for them and was pretty successful for them)

I think we could devote a considerable amount of time to speaking about Toto Wolff’s failings, I know I can think of a few, and in my mind they are both just as bad for different reasons.

It’s even worse than that, because if we go back further, Jev and Kyvat were some of the first drivers torn to shreds within this team 🤐

Two wrongs don’t make a right 🤷🏻‍♀️

That’s true and at the end of the day, it’s not good no matter who does it but at the present moment I’ve yet to see bullying in the specific way that Red Bull does it from other teams. They have a specific brand of bullying in my opinion and they have always been that way!

On the dive bombing specifically- you are absolutely correct! They all do it and it’s not proper race craft no matter who does it!

I don’t necessarily think that’s true, because they’ve all been flying the Max flag since 2021 and that’s fine! I can’t deny that he’s a winning driver and second to none but that his team is also rancid and has been for years!

Couldn’t have said it better!

Very true but alas we are here!

Absolutely

Exhausting and exasperating as well

Yeah exactly! It was, pardon the term, a rookie mistake!

I’m inclined to agree for multiple reasons, not just this one!

And the bad part of this is that like I said, people warned everyone about this after 2021 and no one really cared because they thought it was about what happened in AD when it was far worse than that. Not to mention, they even bully their own team members, that’s why JW left from my understanding.

I think what’s particularly sad about this is that they’ve been engaging in this behaviour since 2021, but if you were a Lewis fan and saying it, people wrote it off because they didn’t like your driver.

But also- you’re right. The atmosphere is ripe for spinning a narrative and people should just say they hate Lewis and go!

That but also they ignore when Charles complains about it too, as if it’s not clear that he is struggling just as much. Him spinning this weekend was proof of that. Like seriously, when was the last time we saw him have issues in that way?

*taps this sign in light of where Lewis finished this weekend because none of us are falling for THAT*

I absolutely hope not!

Correct!
