unfiaboodempseyYeah its a weird one for me. I was never in favour of Mazepin or thought he was an amazing driver, but I do genuinely believe the backlash to Mazepin (specifically in regards to only his driving) was overblown. It feels off to see him booted out of F1 due to a war and not due to his own shortcomings.As #762 already said, it doesn't even have to do with his nationality, it's daddy's money that were keeping him there in the first place that are missing due to the whole situation. So no, who gives a fuck if an undeserving driver goes away cuz no money to buy his sit
The reason for daddy's money disappearing is quite literally his nationality. I don't feel much sympathy for Mazepin, but people parading his exit just to hype up another mediocre driver who's replacing him is crazy to me.
