I feel so sorry for GP

I'm not going to speculate on the "personal circumstances" that's often referred to, but reading between the lines of what's been said and considering it's causing him to miss races and be unsure of his role for next year it's obviously something that's impacting his life to a significant extent.

Seeing him crying at the end of the race made me tear up and you could tell how much it meant to him and it was the point where he couldn't keep it together any longer. I genuinely think he wanted this championship more than Max himself and sacrificed so much to be with Max this year and the focus he put into achieving that goal helped him to keep a strong mindset and hold it all together.

So then to be so close and have given up so much just to lose must have been very difficult to accept so I can see how you'd reach that point where you just can't hold it all in any longer.

It's also very sad that I see him getting dogs abuse online. I know the internet is the internet and people say nasty things but the amount of people taking pleasure out of seeing him breaking down and wanting him dead is just horrific and I hope he isn't affected by it when he's at a very difficult point of his life.

I just hope GP is coping fine and whatever is happening in his personal life gets resolved and he can come back better than ever next year. You just have to feel for him as a human being and hope everything works out.
