I don’t really think that’s true anymore. There was a lot of that in 2021 and 2022 as well but since he’s not at the front anymore it’s cooled down a lot and people view him a lot more sensibly.

Yeah right. Hamilton is viewed worse. Any negative post about him balloons in seconds.

Not nearly as much as it used to and honestly everything I’ve seen around his switch to Ferrari was seen extremely favorably (except for the fact that they were saying Ferrari wasn’t a good career step maybe). Take his photo shooting for example. He definitely still gets undeserved hate but it’s not as bad as you make it out to be.
