What a terrible graphic. I have no artistic skills but even I could do better than that.

Weirdest thing to me in the racecar world is how you can have shitty drivers that drive like ass but simply because they're rich they can donate a whole ton and get on a team.
Mazepin getting kicked out because of the sanctions on Russia made everyone really happy and arguably helped F1 with a massive public relations problem, since Mazepin liked abusing both his staff and apparently women in general (though I don't know specifics about the latter).
Made American and european libs happy for sure. They say the same shit about racing in China, Russia, even the couple of times in India etc Meanwhile they got 3 races in the US or something and say unironicaly "actualy politics is complicated, we can't mix up sports with politics" etc.
Imagine complaining about racing in Saudi Arabia then going to Texas in fucking 2024.
When Hamilton eventually retires this shit will go back to being the extremely white sports it was before and I don't think pandering to Americans is going to save it, at least not without having 5 US races per season at that point. Yes ban the Russian. Alonso fans finaly getting the win they deserve lol too bad it was too late and the wrong Russian lol. Then inevitably once Taiwan war breaks out ban Chinese and end the CN GP permanently etc...
