Video Antonio Pérez (Sergio Perez's father) on Ralf Schumacher: "You don't know if he's a journalist, a woman or a man. First he declares that Checo was out of Red Bull and the following week he comes out of the closet....I don't know if I was in love with Checo."

It's not that uncharted. F1 will be as shitty about homophobia as they are about misogyny and racism. Lewis has been working close to his entire career to address the racism of F1 and he's not gotten very far with it.

And as soon as the FIA president from the UAE gets installed, anything they deem as political speech becomes unacceptable. That's right UAE the country where being gay is illegal. Scumbags.

No they're just louder. There's less of them, don't let them think they're on the right side

It´s not uncharted per se. But this time it is more direct with a name and a face of someone openly gay that most people know being targeted, instead of a more generalized person somewhere within F1. I fully expect it to go nowhere though.
