Some of y'all shit on so many of the world champions in this sport so easily and it shows.

You can disagree on who you think the goat driver is (personally it's Michael for me and he probably always will be, he's who a supported as kid and even little me who knew nothing about racing was awestruck by his driving but I can acknowledge my bias while I also remind you of the fact he's the only driver with a 100% podium finish for an entire season lmao sorry) but you certainly don't need to tear another driver down to hype one up.

It's also pretty impossible to name an absolute goat F1 driver, because you can't really compare say Lewis to Jim Clark because Clark's life and career got cut so tragically short, and you do have to factor in the difference between the cars (you can't compare say Fangio's Ferrari to say Michael or Kimi's, even though all *3 cars (*technically 7 cars since Fangio & Kimi won one championship each with Ferrari & Michael won 5 but I digress) won a championship because the cars simply don't have all the same capabilities or technology and as much as people debate what a past driver like say Hunt could do in a younger more technically advanced car that also was a wdc winning car like Mika's or Lewis' respective McLarens, we'll never truly know because so many drivers have passed on and even so you can't really compare people after the end of their career to drivers still at the beginning because you genuinely don't know what a younger driver will truly be capable of. Unless you're Niki Lauda then you're pretty much always on the money with your observations). Different eras bring different talents to the forefront, every era has it's own goat.

A lot of you also don't understand how hard it actually is to win a championship, it's only getting harder every year as the schedule gets longer. It takes everything and more and sometimes that still isn't enough. And not every driver that wins is going to break the all time record, that doesn't negate their talent. Senna is held up as one of the all times greats and he has three to Fangio's five world championships (the record at the time Senna was racing which was eventually broken by Michael and of course Senna's career and life like Clark's got cut tragically short, once again proving my point that you can't really choose one standalone drivers as the goat). Mansell, Nico, Jenson, Kimi, Jacques Villeneuve to name a few only took one championship home but they all had incredible careers in the sport. People forgot that not every driver wants to beat the record, Hunt wanted a championship to prove that he was capable of it, he did and retired a year later because he no longer owed anybody anything, he'd already proven himself. Others like Moss, Barrichello, Ickx to name a few never did get that title but they also had incredible careers in the sport.

A lot of you do need to put respect on their names because you're far too quick to disrespect their accomplishments and achievements while trying to shit on Max. "It took so long for him to win it he's been in seven seasons" it took Jenson ten, Nico eleven, Mansell thirteen and there's six years between Lewis' first and second title. "He'll only win one" you say as an insult (and as if you know the outcome of every future season), as if every driver on the grid wouldn't nearly kill for just one (or one more in the case of Seb Nando & Lewis) or as if the achievements of the drivers I mentioned earlier (and of others I neglected to mention) mean nothing. Some of you need to start putting respect on their names.

"We don't have to like every driver", I'm not saying you do but you certainly don't need to tear them down to hype your fav up. It's also a lil concerning when your blog is more full of anti posts for a driver you dislike than posts supporting for your fav. Life's far too short to spend so much time on hate. The sooner some of you learn to process your anger and let it go, the better.
