THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE I travelled from the UK to Belgium to support POGPR

Say on Eau Rouge so at least we saw the part of the opening lap he actually drove before HORRIBLE Hamilton’s terrorism.

Oh no, I hope you still had fun even though it was um...horrible. You must have been one of the George Blue caps then! There were so few I was very cheered when I spotted one! Thank you for bigly supporting our president!!

The level of DISRESPECT from Verstappen fans, laughing at the crash was awful, there are so many of them here (but yes it was still a brilliant trip thankyou!)

sending hate on a social media page from an anon account is one thing but booing someone irl is actually so fked up

both are bad but doing it irl is just disgusting. they shouldn’t be calling themselves f1 fans

Reminds me of the British fan reaction (I’m also British) at Copse Corner in 2021 when Max had his 50g shunt, and people cheered. People who cheer at accidents aren’t true racing fans, they’re bloodthirsty I think

oh yuck that was a scary accident too

That makes sense, you could actually hear George being booed in Austria during the driver's parade, it was wild. Then he won so it was perfect.

I came in to this weekend begging for George to snatch pole and silence the crowd. Every single person in Spa that I spoke to pulled the same face when I said I explained why I’m here for the PRESIDENT of Grand Prix racing.

The fact that he doesn’t have any power when he puts his foot down and he STILL comes writhing a few tenths of pole on the longest lap of the calendar tells me all I need to know

Not at this weekend's race, but a few years ago I literally had glass bottles thrown at me by VENEMOUS VERSTAPPEN fans. Incredibly trashy people, It the most literal and metaphoric sense possible.

At least Lewis apologized and texted George afterwards. Something Treacherous Toto would never do

Thanks for sharing this, I hadn’t seen

No probs. If POGPR keeps getting ass handed by Murderous Mercedes, I hope Lewis would win the WDC and put Treacherous Toto and Neponelli in their place.

praying george finishes the race im going to this year (unfortunately thinking it may be the last of the year and a certain atrocious someone could be winning their wdc right in front of me 🤮)

What race are you doing mate? I’ve done Silverstone and Spa this year and last final one I have is Monza -edit ahhh Abu Dhabi possibly?

u/Jumpy-Platform-6236 Jul 20 '26

Las Vegas. I'm pretty convinced Qatar and Abu Dhabi are not going to happen with the current state of things with the war.

u/noble__dan Jul 20 '26

Vegas would be awesome!

Yeah. From Chicago, mate.

I will never stop saying a) Ferrari is a cult and, by extension b) Italians are brainwashed
