Not sure what country a fan is from has anything to do with the situation... plenty of US based Verstappen fans. Do you only cheer for Sargent and Haas?
I don't care about him anymore than I care about the EU as a whole and it's barely relevant countries. Max is the only thing they have to claim some kind of relevance, so it's not a surprise how much they look to him as 'god'
AmuroRay, you're free to express your points of view, to root for whoever you like and to criticize whoever you like, but you're gonna refrain from politicizing discussions.

Hence, keep your condescending / inciting comments on nationality for other venues than Bimmerpost.

Do not misbehave like Helmut Marko recently did:

Marko (pictured above with Perez) was speaking on Servus TV after the Italian Grand Prix and said of Perez: “We know that he has problems in qualifying, he has fluctuations in form — he is South American and he is just not as completely focused in his head as Max (Verstappen) is or as Sebastian (Vettel).”
Reuters quoting Marko as telling Austria’s OE24 website: “It wasn’t meant that way. I meant that a Mexican has a different mentality than a German or a Dutchman. But who knows, maybe it’s controlled.”
Marko issued a statement apologizing over the weekend and Perez says he has spoken to the 80-year-old, and that there are no lingering issues between the two.

Good for Helmut Marko, Now lets get back to motor racing.

The derogatory remark by Helmut Marko about Perez was definitely inappropriate.
For the rest, welcome to 2023.
