Ummm Mexico is in North America. So he is not only being insensitive but he is also incorrect
That’s because in Mexico, they don’t speak English. China? South American. Russia? South American. Quebec? South American.
I hope one day the full story gets told about the tremendous pressure and media scrutiny checo has contended with. Its very strange, there is always some excuse preventing him from getting any positive recognition. Undoubtably, race plays a factor here, even subconsciously.
If he fails to get on the podium, he apparently needs to be fired immediately. When he has a bad qualifying and cleanly overtakes half a dozen cars to finish 2nd, then its entirely the car that’s responsible. and, i guess, also due to his ‘south american’ heritage.
Ironically, due to his inconsistent qualifying, and exceptional racecraft and tire management, he’s one of the more entertaining drivers to watch on raceday.
Bullshit. Imho.
Old man saying stupid shit? For sure. Next to a load of experience old people bring old views of the world with them. Just talk to your dad/grand dad about the finer things of life. Chances are good you don’t agree.
Checo being discriminated? If checo is being so discriminated… what’s he doing in the best car on the grid? For several seasons?!?!
I think the opposite. I think Checo is being liked by a lot on the grid. Checo just had 1 problem: Max. Max is humbling everyone this season. Checo unfortunately the most because he’s in the same car. One day max will find his Senna, his Schumacher, his Lewis. But for now… He’s up there. Peak form. Unrivalled.
If you’re talking about some fans and some “journalists”… Yeah, just like irl some of those are assholes. That is not the general consensus, it’s a small very Loud group.
And indeed race does had some impact on how the world views Checo. But I’m talking about something else then you. His race performance was lacking for a long time. And I think the old geezer Is telling us between the lines there was other stuff going on in Checo’s life impacting his performance. And that unlike seb or max checo could not filter that out. And the old fart blames that on his “south American culture/upbringing” not race.
But read in it what you want. This is my opinion. Just as (in)valid as yours probably. :)
Red Bull has publicly stated that they are considering alternatives for Perez when his contract expires in 2024. Marko, who will be one who will be making that decision, is an old fashion racist.
Brutal. Retire now plz. That’s such a narrow minded racist take.
Honestly… How are we all ok with this? When is enough enough? This is so sad, we all just accept that this team boss is rotten
Someone please convince me that this mentality somehow doesn’t permeate down to the rest of the team. Explain to me how the whole team is totally immune to this mentality, that no one has to dance around this racism, that all members of the RB team are free to share their real, true opinions about people based on their merit and contributions.
I’m not a huge fan of checo, but I certainly don’t hate him, and certainly think he’s at least earned his spot. This type of language and attitude is friggin hienous, though. It’s how Nazi sympathizers speak. It shows how he truly feels - checo is less than based on his country of origin.
How are we ok with this? Ugh it frustrates me so hard.
I’m sure regular F1 fans don’t even know about that and F1 media will not cover this in any way, just as they were silent when Rosberg was banned from attending the paddock after refusing vaccination.
