Honestly... How are we all ok with this? When is enough enough? This is so sad, we all just accept that this team boss is rotten

Someone please convince me that this mentality somehow doesn't permeate down to the rest of the team. Explain to me how the whole team is totally immune to this mentality, that no one has to dance around this racism, that all members of the RB team are free to share their real, true opinions about people based on their merit and contributions.

I'm not a huge fan of checo, but I certainly don't hate him, and certainly think he's at least earned his spot. This type of language and attitude is friggin hienous, though. It's how Nazi sympathizers speak. It shows how he truly feels - checo is less than based on his country of origin.

How are we ok with this? Ugh it frustrates me so hard.

I'm sure regular F1 fans don't even know about that and F1 media will not cover this in any way, just as they were silent when Rosberg was banned from attending the paddock after refusing vaccination.

Yep, wouldn't wanna rock that money boat. So sad.

Imagine completely factual reporting by Sky Sports and suddenly all RB drivers and other employees such as Horner are no longer available for interviews to them.
