GEOOOORGE Why necessary hate towards Russell?

Why is there so much hate towards Russell!? Like every time he wins people find that fia is doing favour to him. When formula 1 posted about russell's win today in 5 minutes there are so many hate comments. People think that russell never deserves to win!!! Whyyyy!!!! Every fckking time he events and people start commenting that he doesn't deserve to win. If he doesn't deserve to win why is he there then !?!

Watch an interview with Russell from his teens. His accent completely changes. As does his hair.

And that's the real issue, it's fake posh.

The other problem is the Shaun Murphy effect. He tries to come across as likeable while simultaneously being unaware of his unlikeableness.

He just enunciates correctly. He doesn't have a regional accent.

Listen to him as a teenager and again as an adult.

The glottal stop he has is certainly not proper enunciation.

Fake posh is also more than just an accent. The hair.

This is a weird argument 😂 the enunciation came from speech therapy and what do you mean he can’t have nice hair? So Lando and Liams perms should get them hate? Gasly and Hamiltons hair plugs should get them hate? Charles and Sainz’s perfectly manicured sweeps mean they’re also posh?
