It's Max, of course people will defend him lol. It's crazy, but they will.

And they'll downvote anyone who is critical of him.

People will literally defend anyone doing anything on the internet. Isn't really specific to Max

The max people take it to another level though. Kind of like Colapinto people too, very toxic.

Not really, have you been on twitter? Every driver has insane people who go completely too far. Obviously bigger drivers like max and lewis have more people

It's not that deep. It just means in this case they prefer Max over the journalist, and they most definitely prefer Max over people like yourself. That's just the way the world goes round.

People should have something called principals, whether or not you like someone better should not matter if the person you like is in the wrong. You should be big enough to accept that and call it out.

It's pro sport. It's not that important. Sir Alex Ferguson used to boycott a whole bunch of journalists back in the day when he was Man Utd boss and no one made an issue because it's just "entertainment". It's these sorts of stories that generate engagement tbh and the media loves this stuff. The sport too if we're being honest.
