Never has a sentence so succinctly described how I suspect a lot of people feel.
I definitely feel better than when LH was winning all the time. Because back then, if someone said they were tired of him winning, they would be called racist. Now, those people (not only his fans obviously) get to know what it feels like.
Ok but there was a lot of actual racism around LH. There still is.
Also, this is way more dominant than LH ever was over his teammate. Bottas wasn't that close, but Nico was right there for a lot of it. Seb was close or ahead a few seasons till Ferrari Ferrari'd themselves.
Also, there's tons of racism around LH still. Sure, not every instance of hating on his winning was racist, but some were.
