Bullshit. Imho.
Old man saying stupid shit? For sure. Next to a load of experience old people bring old views of the world with them. Just talk to your dad/grand dad about the finer things of life. Chances are good you don't agree.
Checo being discriminated? If checo is being so discriminated.. what's he doing in the best car on the grid? For several seasons?!?!
I think the opposite. I think Checo is being liked by a lot on the grid. Checo just had 1 problem: Max. Max is humbling everyone this season. Checo unfortunately the most because he's in the same car. One day max will find his Senna, his Schumacher, his Lewis. But for now... He's up there. Peak form. Unrivalled.
If you're talking about some fans and some "journalists"... Yeah, just like irl some of those are assholes. That is not the general consensus, it's a small very Loud group.
And indeed race does had some impact on how the world views Checo. But I'm talking about something else then you. His race performance was lacking for a long time. And I think the old geezer Is telling us between the lines there was other stuff going on in Checo's life impacting his performance. And that unlike seb or max checo could not filter that out. And the old fart blames that on his "south American culture/upbringing" not race.
But read in it what you want. This is my opinion. Just as (in)valid as yours probably. :)
