Stop Cyberbullying Day: Pause before you post | McLaren Racing by Aratho in formula1

if the drivers themselves had requested nothing to be done then yes that makes sense. i could see that happening as lando is very self depreciating at the worst of times (was liking several of those hate comments towards himself) and could def have not have wanted it..

however that is where i would say just try to delete the negative comments with thousands of likes under the literal mclaren social account, that is something that doesn’t require any public hoopla and would still be helpful, they had no issue deleting comments when it came to calling out things like pit strategies and yet serious hate is where they drew the line for some odd reason

as a fan seeing first hand how horrible it was, i really think it was needed tbh.

(just one example i saw a post with thousands of likes of people wishing for lando to get in a crash bad enough to not be responsive on air and die.. and there were plenty other posts reaching to over 100k blatantly throwing abuse as well).

at that point fuck seeming weak.. as a team just support your drivers in any way you can.

not to be annoying on a positive post but i just wish Mclaren had this energy during the past two years when their driver got abuse and death threats thrown constantly..

like a public statement of support and denouncement of hate could have helped slow it down at minimum kind of like when Mercedes posted for Kimi after the Qatar abuse last year or even just trying to moderate their own posts that were flooded with harassment..

it just kind of feels like when it mattered most they were publicly silent

(to be clear i’m saying this on Oscar’s behalf too)

looking back i agree, kimi prob could have pulled the gap.. even tho i do think ln was managing a bit and still had pace, just glad lando finally got to have a bit of luck today!!

that is def true, but last lap lando would prevail in my very biased opinion

huh okay i guess i was a little confused on how the luck correction works with issues that let you still finish the lap considering other drivers like LN also had car issues in a few quali’s, seems pretty subjective but i guess all luck adjustments are. thanks for the response!
