McLaren Blasted By Fans For Supporting English Conservative Party - "Is This A Joke?"

F1 fans are hitting back at McLaren for supporting the English Conservative Party.

McLaren have come under fire from F1 fans for supporting the English Conservative Party.

The HM Treasury shared to social media:

"Excited for the start of the new F1 season? Confused what that has to do with economic policy? Watch Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt explain how boosting education will drive our economy into pole position from the driving seat of @McLarenF1 @McLarenAuto."

It's safe to say this has not gone down well with fans with the post causing uproar in the comments. One McLaren fan wrote:

"Oh for crying out loud. Being a @McLarenF1 fan has been hard enough recently, but this might be too much to bear."

Another outraged F1 fan wrote:

"So disgusted with McLaren right now for agreeing to a Tory propaganda piece. That's bad enough but the fact that it's Jeremy Hunt, the man who took a leading hand in dismantling the NHS for personal gain makes it tens times worse. I used to love this team but now? Just f*** off."

They continued:

"This really bothers me, mainly because the vast majority of their fans are some of the best people on here by a long way and those I know best are pretty much the exact opposite Hunt and his attitudes and ideals."

"Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? @ZBrownCEO @McLarenF1"
