I know this is a sport and there'll always be drivers or teams you hate/dislike but sending death threats or discrediting a driver's performance for stuff not in their control (and no, I don't believe Lando and the FIA are collaborating per se, the FIA are just terrible on their own accord) is wild behaviour...
If you hate Lando because he's said some questionable things about politics/Max/etc, then sure that's fair game. But your favs would pull team orders and stuff to win too if they had a shot at the championship and you know it. You can be upset about it (I definitely am) but as a huge Max and Oscar fan who could not gaf about Lando, going out of your way to dm him death threats/leave hate comments on HIS OWN CELEBRATION POSTS is so insane to me.
It's clear that some people just don't see the drivers as actual people or assume it's okay to pull this shit because they're public figures. This kind of hate wasn't okay when it was Max-targeted and it's not okay now, for any of the drivers.

There is a lot of confusion flying around right now on Adrian Newey’s contract. Employment law terms are being thrown about, some incorrectly. As a lawyer, here are some things you should know:
1. Gardening Leave - this means the period of time in which Newey is technically still paid and employed by RBR but is not allowed to do any work, so he doesn’t get any inside info. Newey has been placed on gardening leave from the RBR F1 division effective immediately. He is not on gardening leave from the HyperCar division.
2. Non-compete period - this means the period of time in which Newey is not allowed to work for another team. This will be triggered by a specific event, which we don’t know. It could start when Newey goes on F1 gardening leave (now) or when Newey’s F1 contract officially ends (near the end of 2024 or early 2025). We simply don’t know.
This means we don’t know for sure whether Adrian Newey will become available to other teams in 2025 or 2026.
Media outlets reporting 2025 do not have sufficient info off the back of the RBR press release to confirm this. Unless they have been told specific and private contractual details that we don’t know
