Probably a good idea, OP. The F1 fanbase has become a circus in the past decade. A lot of newcomers bringing their tribalism mentality of other sports along with them, not understanding how F1 works.
If you actually do want to get involved in a motorsport fanbase, GTs. But watching the NLS stream with chat while Max is in a team can be fatiguing. 100+ teams on track over many classes, so effectively 16 races going on, and every five mins his fanbase, that has no idea what they're watching, start arguing about F1. Some genuinely say it's their first GT race and ask a lot of questions, the fanbase is thrilled and explains everything with welcoming arms.
Definitely true. I’m a 43 year old guy who’s loved F1 since the 90’s and living in a small rural town I didn’t even have anyone to talk to about F1 in person. Fortunately, but in the end, unfortunately there is a coworker on a different crew. That is a big Formula 1 fan, but he is a Max fan and I by fan I mean one of “those” Max fans. He is very short tempered about any race that Max doesn’t win and he is still convinced that McLaren cheated last year to win. And also sadly he is very racist towards Lewis and Yuki so I don’t interact with him at all.
Oh they just don't get F1 yet.
Talk about the mid-pack teams only with him. We all know the good shit is with Alpine, RB, Haas, and crossing fingers for Williams and Audi. Following one driver and one team, may as well just put the 4 min YT highlights on instead of watch the actual racing.
Maybe remind him the Max has no trophies. They all go back to the team after the race.
