most of the drivers' reactions to the whole Horner situation is so disappointing tbh. what do you mean someone in the paddock, an employee gets harassed by one of the top figures in the sport and your reaction is either "it has nothing to do with me", or "no comment", "i just like cars and i want to drive", "it's noise and distraction", "i'm here to race", and "it's a good thing for the media", "it doesn't affect me", "i don't really have an interest".
why is it so hard to care about something other than your racing career? you gotta have some morals, dude. not caring about women's safety in your oh so beloved sport is some fucked up behaviour. in situations like this it really shows how fucking privileged they are and it's honestly repulsive.
this is precisely why Lewis is always the one being asked about any non-sport related topic. because he's the only one who cares and gives honest and nuanced answers. genuinely terrified of what this sport will become when he retires, cause no one will speak out on anything.
and then people wonder why we say that f1 is not a safe place for women and that misogyny is still very much a thing in the sport? men don't care, including the president of the fia and f1, the other team principals and most of the drivers as well. when the faces of the sport clearly don't give a shit about women, what kind of hope is there?
they can talk about equality and progressive values and promoting women in motorsports, when this is the reality of how they actually treat the women working in the sport. imagine how that poor woman is feeling, seeing how much the drivers care about what she's going through. utterly disrespectful, with no compassion or empathy.
f1 needs to do so much better.

Wow, they're seriously making shoplifting a worse offence?
So you cry about whenever rich businesses lose some money, but you couldn't bat an eye whenever we the people are in poverty?
You're putting my mum through a process right now where she is losing alot of money AND you make her pay an income tax when she makes poverty level money.
We have to go to two government run places a week to be able to get food to survive.
I was caught shoplifting once and had to go to juvy, and now owe a fine of $240 dollars to my mother because you made her pay it to get me out of juvy.
And you're crying about big businesses losing money they're not even going to notice is gone in 2 days, just because they choose to take out their frustrations on other people?
Maybe those companies should shut their goddamn mouths and substitute the money with money they already fucking have than force us to make up for shoplifting. You're only villianising people who NEED to shoplift to survive by saying 'and it's because of these people that the prices on these items are rising to make up for the stolen stock'.
