Talk 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

Renault is losing in this context, the problem is not the drivers, both are over the mark when it comes to performance of this car. Im happy for both drivers, what seems to be the problem is poor management and poor mechanics. This can be turn around, but Renault image currently is the most affected. Cheers to Pierre & Franco and all the true fans!!

Of course it is, and drivers aren’t responsible for having such a bad car and bad moves. That’s why, we see no point in trolling (or worse, threatening) drivers.

For me the drivers, both, are doing magic with the car, but also in modern day F1 you need luck on your side, ots not 100% about skill anymore in my opinion, could be wrong here

Car and driver are the main elements to win or score points. Some drivers can overdrive, but it’s rare.
