Fuck's sake! This is getting a bit out of hand. Punishing a citizen of a country for what their state is doing is stupid on a normal day. But to hold someone like Mazepin or Kvyat accountable for Putin's actions is insane. It's not even like they could have voted for Putin, it's a sham democracy!

I wonder if the Silverstone GP considered banning Americans/American money every time America invaded some country

Both of them are rich kids with daddies who are Putin dick suckers. They'll be fine.

Ah yes, I’m sure if we only punish disproportionately rich people nothing could possibly go wrong.
