Ralf Schumacher: "The most beautiful thing in life is when you have the right partner at your side, with whom you can share everything"
(files.catbox.moe)
Socialite Carmen Geiss (who is friends with Ralf) commented: "You have the best partner imaginable. ... I am glad for you two, that you searched and found each other."
That makes Ralf the ~~second~~ fourth open lgbtq driver in F1 history after Mike Beuttler, Lella Lombardi and Mário de Araújo Cabral.
I guess that is an answer to whom that homophobic comment in the 2000s about "a gay/bi driver strutting down the pitlane" was about.
Some Germans on another platform said that apparently BILD tried to out him 20 years ago, but everyone refused to comment so they couldn't run that story back then.
Fuck Bild.
I didn't know about a homophobic comment, can you elaborate?
I can't find it anymore but I'm sure I read on reddit some years ago that a driver back in the 2000ies made that comment in a TV interview, saying that there was a closeted gay driver in F1 without naming him, and that there should be no place in F1 for men "like him".
Thank you, wtf.
Troglodytes gonna troglodyte.
