What's up with santanders? did they say or do something to charles?

Santander = bag of classless cunts who have no qualms about insulting Charles and then turning around to use him as a thirst trap to gain more followers/publicity. Allow me to explain.

To provide some context, Santander is not your average F1 sponsor. They are one of the main sponsors for Ferrari, and a powerhouse Spanish bank/business with something like 1.6 trillion euros of assets as of 2021, and they dominate the financial scenes of Europe and the Americas.

They used to sponsor Ferrari in the late 2000s/early 2010s, then stopped a few years after Alonso left the team. They were once again announced as a sponsor for Ferrari in 2021 after Sainz (another Spanish driver) joined the team.

Here is a very long analysis about Santander, their role and the role of the Spanish press in discrediting Kimi Raikkonen leading up to Kimi's first exit from Ferrari.

Fast forward to 2022. I won't rehash in detail the disaster of the British GP, but to briefly summarize: Ferrari screwed Charles (who should have won the race) by not pitting him before the restart, then Sainz (who was pitted for fresh tires even though he was not the lead Ferrari and was much slower all race) refused team orders to defend and basically shoved Charles off the track after the restart, but Charles then put up a mighty defence against Checo and Lewis in his cold hard tires, and was crucial to handing the win to Sainz.

After being completely ignored by Ferrari on social media, the admin finally decides to acknowledge Charles. Santander deleted their comment so this is the best screenshot I can find right now:

Yes, that's right. A major sponsor of Scuderia Ferrari straight up MOCKED the team's leading driver - the non-Spanish driver. It was at Charles' expense and due to Charles' goliath defence against RB and Merc that Sainz was able to get his first and only F1 win. It's almost unfathomable that a sponsor could have the sheer AUDACITY to publically - on their main account - disrespect a driver so boldly. Try to imagine ANY OTHER SPONSOR for any other team doing that! You can't. It's sheer madness and really highlights how above reproach Santander believes they are.

Well as you can imagine, that did not go over well with the Tifosi... or anyone outside of the Spanish press. Perhaps to Santander's surprise, Charles is a much loved figure within the Ferrari organization and amongst the fans - much more so than the Spanish driver they hope to prop up. So they have been furiously backtracking ever since, deleting their comment and posting Charles photos and thirst traps. They are also hilariously, shamelessly using Charles to ask for more followers.

I think the only appropriate recourse here is for Charles (and Ferrari) to continue taking Santander's money, and for the rest of us to remind Santander after every Charles win from now until the end of time that of course - "WINNERS WIN!"
