you literally don’t have to know anything about what’s going on to have enough sense to say “My thoughts are with the people in Ukraine during this time, I’m hopeful that the FIA will make the right decision for F1.
I’ve never had one single credit hour of any type of public relations and I could pull something like that out of my ass on pretty much any situation you could tell me about.
My honest opinion is that he has built his brand around being the happy, likable guy. So he doesn’t wanna do or say anything that rocks the boat. The down fall with that is sometimes it’s not just opinions or different views, sometimes there IS a right and wrong side. And if you don’t clearly stand for the right side people are going to call you out on that. I genuinely don’t believe that he doesn’t care that innocent people are dying in Ukraine. I just think he’s so scared to say the wrong thing that he says nothing.
Can’t believe I’m getting ready to do this but I’m actually going to defend him… I saw this on Twitter. Let’s all remember that this comment was made before the invasion. Has he given a statement since then?
Sounds like it would be a side story for one of the secondary characters in “Port Cop” that’s what the show is called right?

OK lovelies that was my spam for the night. A parting a note…. Let’s all remember to be patient and understanding with one another during times like these. There are no rulebooks or guidelines on how to channel our emotions to seeing something like this. People can be sad, people can be angry, people can be confused, or they can be all those things in a span of minutes. The most important thing is allowing everyone a space to vent those emotions because I’m certain they all come from a pure place.
Also.. Just to add to my above comment about Nikita so I don’t get canceled … His initial statement was absolutely flawed. I’m not defending what he said. I’m only saying that this quote has spread like wildfire today and people think it’s something he just said. If we’re being real honest, before the actual invasion happened the thought of going to Russia couldn’t be viewed any worse than many of the other countries that’s on the F1 calendar. After the events of last night that has of course changed.
That’s all! just wanted to clarify so I didn’t get dragged through the tattle streets. because at the end of the day I still think he’s a
crappy human.
I am just such a stickler for making sure people verify and fact check the news they consume especially after living through the Trump era.
has she been hacked I wonder!???
And again, I don’t think he’s a bad guy at all. But no one should feel “out of their depth” when talking about human rights. He should do better. And if McLaren are telling him to say nothing then they should do better as well.
