Is this really the way Sporting Fans want to
Behave?
The News of Williams F1 Racing Driver Nicholas
Latifi receiving Death Threats following the outcome of the Abu Dhabi Grand
Prix is utterly Disgusting, Really Disturbing
to Mwah, and is totally Inexcusable!
Excluding NASCAR, which After All, Racin’s
Rubbin’ is a Cherished term and totally acceptable form of motor racing, Sigh! Immediately
I can only think of three instances in Open Wheel Racing that somewhat compare.
Arguably Renault’s Crash Gate, when Neilsen Ho’,
aka Nelson Piquet Jr. Deliberately Crashed his Renault into the Barriers to
enable F1 teammate Fredrico Suave’, nee Fernando Alonso to fortuitously inherit
the lead from the unexpected Safety Car and go onto win the 2008 Singapore Grand
Prix, when Renault desperately needed a win to buoy it’s flagging Formula 1
fortunes most closely “mimics” what Fans are Enraged over.
Otherwise I can only think of Robby gordon’s
famous tossing out bits of his neck restraint to cause a yellow Flag in order
to Pit, or the somewhat “Controversial” or conveniently fortuitous Spin/Stall
of Bryan High Speed Hurdles’ Herta ensuring IndyCar teammate Marco Andretti’s
Debutante IndyCar victory.
Yet in all three of those examples, the Drivers
in Question were simply either trying to Help their respective teammates or
themselves, and I’d like to remind Y’all that it makes absolutely Zero sense to
think that Latifi had any Ulterior Motives, especially if we consider who supplys
Team Willy’s Powertrain components, specifically it’s Mercedes Power Unit!
As I can only Applaud Latifi for having the “Hunger”
to Not wish being passed by the lowly Haas of Mick Schumacher in the F1 Season
Finale, or in general, which reportedly is what ultimately triggered Latifi’s
unexpected Shunt into the Barriers at Yas Isle. For which Latifi did absolutely
Nothing Wrong!
Somehow I Doubt this Repugnant Attitude has
been voiced towards either of the Rookie Haas F1 Drivers who’ve arguably
struggled with the worst Chassis on the Grid, either when Schumacher Junior or
Nikita Mazepin have crashed and caused
Safety Cars to be Deployed. Although I’ll admit I’ve glombed onto the term bantered about on Social Media calling him MazaSpin!
Which obviously isn’t a term of endearment…
Yet as Sporting Fans or Society in General,
making Death Threats from behind “The Curtain” of Anonymity are Zero percent
Funny and should Absolutely Not be Tolerated! As I cannot scribble anything
better than Racer’s Chris Medland wrote in his latest Opinion piece rightly Questioning
What’s Wrong with Some people?
