Will we ever progress our behaviour as Humans. Or
just continue being Neanderthals?
Had been planning on scribblin’ about this
sometime early this season, after last years dearth of irreprehensible
behaviour! But thanks to Daniel Dye, it came front ‘n center no less then upon
St Patrick’s Day.
As I thoroughly applaud NASCAR and Kaulig
Racing’s swift decision to suspend Dye indefinitely! For making a grotesque
comment towards David Malukas, over the “Desert Double” NASCAR-IndyCar weekend
at Phoenix Raceway.
As Craftsman Truck Series driver Daniel Dye was
rightly suspended indefinitely for His mocking of Team Penske driver David
Malukas when opening trading cards. Making His voice a much higher pitch and
smearing Malukas’s sexuality. Calling Him you know what!
This follows on the heels of last year’s irreprehensible
behaviour towards Andrea Kimi Antonelli and Jack Doohan. Not to mention Zak
Brown’s really bad and inexcusable joke regarding His wife!
Antonelli received Death Threats after Max
Verstappen’s engineer Gianpiero Lambiase inferred the rookie Italian driver had
let Lando Norris pass Him at the end of the Qatar Grand Prix in order to insure
a Mercedes powered driver won the Formula 1 World Championship, Balderdash!
Of course Lambiase’s cryptic comment “Looks
like He just pulled over and let Lando thru”, with one lap remaining was preposterous!
Before Helmut Marco joined the fray. Pronouncing that Antonelli had let McLaren
drivers by twice in the race, including Oscar Piastri earlier…
Naturally, this was complete rubbish! As
Antonelli simply made a mistake and slid wide under the pressure of trying to
secure a podium position and hold off Norris for fourth place.
Yes, I was disappointed over the extra two
points Norris garnered, which eventually led to His securing His drivers title.
But I never thought Kimi had done that on purpose.
Lambiase and Red Bull subsequently issues
public apologies regarding this accusation, but the damage had been done!
Next, former Alpine F1 driver Jack Doohan
joined Antonelli in blocking His social media account in December, after
receiving vulgar harassment by “vile Trolls”. Following the Aussie’s three
nearly identical crashes at Degner corner over three successive days testing a
Super formula car at Suzuka.
Then there was Zak Brown’s bizarre speech at
the McLaren team’s end of season meeting, where He told a really bad joke about
His wife Tracy, when thanking family.
“We've been married 26 years, see the black
eye? Like I said, we've been married 26 years,' Brown said.
‘No, I am joking, the dog hit her this
morning.”
Reportedly Oscar Piastri couldn’t stomach the
Domestic Violence joke and simply staired down at His feet as the smile left
His face!
Not to mention the Aussie’ was firmly in
Brown’s crosshairs during His bizarre rant…
And this doesn’t even include the vulgar abuse
Callum Ilott was forced to endure not once, but twice when driving for Juncos
Hollinger Racing.
As the team, specifically Ricardo Juncos and
Agustin Canapino did little to quell the social media abuse seemingly the
Argentine Fan base directed towards Ilott!
Then just learning that Esteban Ocon suffered a
similar fate after His collision with Franco Colapinto during the Chinese Grand
Prix.
Although Ocon fully took responsibility for the
crash, and Colapinto raced to a tenth place finish. (scoring one point) Argentinians
once again took to torching Ocon on social Media, including Death Threats!
While somehow I suspect that none of Ollie
Bearman’s Fans will be attacking Franco Colapinto for causing the Haas driver’s
massive shunt at suzuka when His Alpine began “Harvesting” in the corner.
While don’t forget about Kyle Larson and Juri
Vips past transgressions…
Like the immortal Rodney King said: “Can’t we just All get along?”
