Like, the radio was recorded. We all saw it live and it's on tape for posterity. But we didn't see what we saw, and they are the victim:

As a team we made some mistakes in Brazil. We had not envisaged the situation that unfolded on the last lap and we had not agreed a strategy for such a scenario before the race. Regretfully, Max was only informed at the final corner of the request to give up position without all the necessary information being relayed. This put Max, who has always been an open and fair team player, in a compromising situation with little time to react which was not our intention. Following the race Max spoke openly and honestly, allowing for both drivers to resolve any outstanding issues or concerns. The Team accept Max's reasoning, the conversation was a personal matter which will remain private between the team and no further comment will be made.
The events that followed from a social media point of view are completely unacceptable. The abusive online behaviour towards Max, Checo, the Team and their respective families is shocking and saddening and unfortunately is something that we as a sport are having to address with depressing regularity. There is no place for it in racing or society as a whole and we need to do and be better. At the end of the day this is a sport, we are here to race. Death threats, hate mail, vitriol towards extended family members is deplorable. We value inclusion and want a safe space for everyone to work in and enjoy our sport. The abuse needs to stop.


Not one word on Perez getting screwed, not one mention of Perez being apologized to. But Max is fine, we understand Max, Max is a team player, Max is a clean driver, everybody loves Max, Max is king, please stop picking on Max and his family after his mom started stirring up shit for no cotdamn reason, the toxic fandom must stop. Oh, and Max is better than God.

Fuck this team
Fuck Chrisian
Fuck Helmut
And fuck Max. Actually no.... Max is who we all thought he was since 2016. If everyone at Red Bull wants to coddle his nuts and defend him from mean old people that want to hold him accountable when they don't, I can't be mad at him, I suppose.

I really want Lewis to win Sunday, but I'm rooting for Leclerc like never before. Imagine if Max has to let Lewis or George by to back up Charles so Sergio can pass him? Netflix execs must have boners harder than frozen diamonds right now
