@hamxnda Oh come on now. Do you know what it takes to get it right every single time? It’s a feat of human performance and pit crews have way to much pride to do what you’re suggesting. Don’t demonise people who are all working really hard, it’s not fair.

@onthechicane Nothing toxic about this tweet. It’s arguably one of the most iconic photos in the modern history of the sport. The fact that you don’t like it doesn’t mean you should condone abuse. Isn’t that the behaviour your hero stands against? Or do his values only matter when it suits?
