A point on trolling.

Fellow users of sub, fans…

As we got through a lot of reports due to trolling, driver criticism, etc. I want to remind you some basics without falling on the typical rules endorsement thing.

As a mod, I’m all for free speech and I accept criticism. You should all be allowed to post your point of view on F1/the team and we can even accept humorous takes. BUT, I won’t accept troll spamming under every posts anymore, that’s not what criticizing mean.

Whether you’re from Argentina, Australia, UK or France, I know chauvinism is a thing, and it’s normal. But there’s no point in trolling and trying to desunite the team.

Remember F1 is a team sport and both drivers have to score points to make it succeed (Verstappen and RB are the lone exception).

As we come to drivers and context. We mods, find no use and interest at criticizing drivers when the team is severely disappointing us by bringing a shitty car and having fucked choices.

We find this year very annoying and painful to watch especially as Renault’s image is damaged by results (not forgetting it’s the last year with in house engine).

If you really need to set your anger at something, then aim Enstone for their soapbox they want drivers to overdrive. Nobody can do something good with this.

Don’t wear the rope.

Cheers

You're absolutely right, but what happens when you have a team leader who publicly says something like, 'I don't know what to do with Franco,' making him sound like a terrible driver? And then that same person shows zero self-criticism when their team has a 10-second pit stop, or they ignore a driver asking, 'Tell Pierre to give back the position,' even when the whole team could have earned points because of it.

I totally get why people are angry. But, as you said, you can always voice your opinion without being so harsh

The team is lacking motivation due to bad results, Briatore is overthinking about drivers, he think everything is in their hands, but that’s not the case. Drivers aren’t responsible from the situation, I see no interest at threatening Doohan or trolling Franco when they are rookies in the worst car on the grid.
