What's this I hear about RIC being offered an ambassador title at RB, must be more clickbait. |

I've generally been rooting for Checo. I loved watching his win in Sakhir 2020 and he kinda fell into favor for me as an underdog, especially the story that netflix ended up spinning up, that's how I got my wife into watching F1 with me (she's a blind checo fan now). Cheering for him early last year was awesome - watching him win races over Max was fun. But then, as we now know, the car took some turns that he couldn't handle but Max could. I remain cautiously optimistic that they can get this car turned around and back into his comfort zone so we can start seeing a more competitive Checo.
His blunder in Baku was terrible though. Had he not wiped with Sainz and even just finished 4th, I think the current situation and feeling towards him would be a lot different. If he can't turn things around, it'll be disappointing. I'm not a blind Checo fan, but I do think most of the hatred towards him is unjustified and seems to be rooted in something beyond just his driving (not going to discuss this further, but even his team leaders are guilty). Even if he were booted from RB and ended up in a lesser car, I think there's still a good number of drivers on the grid that he's more talented than. |

Yep. Baku was his fault. He's made it hard to keep rooting for him...but I'm still in there.
In Mexico City, Checo is very visible in billboards and ads, much moreso than other drivers in other major cities. He's very marketable and has a great presence outside of the immediate F1 fanbase. |

I'm aging myself but hate is a strong word. I understand slang "Hate" or "Hating" but don't like using it to describe my feelings toward people |

Really, there is no arguing it, FIA has looked at it and applied the rules. Any other opinions are just that, opinions, partially rooted in bias. |

This use of "hate" spinoffs has been around on the interwebz since like the early 2000's... |
