They should genuinely tell him to fuck off and I'm not being harsh or excessive. You can't reorient an entire sport to satisfy the whims of one driver. He's welcome to go to any other sport and give his seat to someone who legitimately wants to be in F1.
Pathetic framing from the BBC as well.

Bernie Collins is an Irish treasure but she doesn't really get her flowers outside of the F1 world. I mean, I've never seen her on The Late Late or getting the splashy Sunday magazine covers etc.
Of course maybe she'd hate that kind of thing but I think we should make a bigger deal of her. Love her

Dre's Race Review: F1's 2026 Japanese Grand Prix | Motorsport101 Kimi Antonelli takes advantage of a lucky Safety Car to double up as Bearman's and Verstappen's media blowup leads to many flashpoints... even for Dre.

Max vs The Media and F1's insular world, the Super-clipping talk, Kimi Antonelli taking advantage of a Safety Car to run away in Japan, and the real issue with the 2026 regulations. So much so I got genuinely emotional writing this one. Let's talk about Japan. www.motorsport101.com/dres-race-re...

Japanese Grand Prix: Max Verstappen says he is considering his future as he is 'not enjoying' new regulations Four-time F1 world champion Max Verstappen tells BBC Sport he is considering his future in the sport.

“And now people can easily say, 'Yeah, well, you've won so many championships and races and now just because the car is not good you are complaining.' Maybe you can see it like that…”

I do. 👍🏻 #F1 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formul...

#OnThisDay in ’98, at Interlagos, Mika Häkkinen scored a grand chelem victory - pole position, fastest lap, leading from lights to flag. It was his 3rd consecutive #F1 GP win, & the 3rd consecutive 1-2 finish for McLaren. It really doesn’t get a lot better than that.

Beide coureurs zaten tijdens cruciale inhaalacties ineens zonder batterij en dat leverde een hoop frustratie op. „Dit i...

Ik kijk (na 35 jaar) geen F1 meer. Het is net zoals talkshows kijken: je ergert je alleen maar aan de stupiditeit

Van 50 km/h langzamer (!!) door dezelfde bochten gaan
Met minder motorvermogen dan een F2 auto

En nog klappen hersenloze Viaplay onbenullen ervoor #MarioKart

Sainz quite vocal on the F1's battery de-rating after Bearman's #JapaneseGP crash: "I was so surprised when they [FIA] said 'No, we will sort out qualifying and leave the racing alone because it's exciting.' As drivers, we've been extremely vocal that the problem is not only in qualifying (Cont) #F1

Another fun podium combination! Where the fuck did this Mclaren come from? My concerns were unfounded--this track was more entertaining with this ruleset. 7 teams with points again. Lewis' still got it even if he got shuffled back. Max on suicide watch. Holy shit Fernando finished.
