The Sainz pass on Checo when they were screaming for him to box was brilliant. An epic pass.



my favorite part of the race. I love how blown away the announcers were with Ferrari's strategy. They did everything outside of just straight up calling them idiots.

But yeah, of course. It’s the age-old idiom that says not everyone who hates Lewis is a racist, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find a racist who doesn’t hate him. That’s all


I don't like him because he drives for Merc

The last conversation we had ended with you calling me a “f****t” and now you hit me with a “STFU”. Are you okay?

This website is quite objectively a cesspool of minority hatred, deliberate misinformation, mired in a constant fight against any type of societal progress. That’s not exactly controversial. Saying that Lewis Hamilton won’t have many fans here isn’t exactly a hot take.

That being said, there are corners of this site that I enjoy, and have for many years. You take the good with the bad.

Hamilton is black, well spoken, and speaks out on climate/social justice issues. For those reasons, he won’t every be very popular on this website, regardless of how fair/well-mannered he is. It’s sad but true. Also, motorsport is historically a very white/blue collar sport, and there’s a lot of people who’d like to keep it that way.
that's a large part of it I'm sure. Another part is winners fatigue which max is beginning to experience now. Schumacher had his haters for that reason too but he also gave them other reasons besides just winning.

But again, I don't know a single about the past or his history, just what I've seen from him the past couple of months.
IMO Lewis' biggest fear is not winning. Even when he had the most dominant car for years you could hear the doubt and fear on almost every radio message. Most of the drivers are assholes on the radio but I've never thought Lewis was. Seb was always the worst but max is definitely trying to take away that title

That's interesting as the 2 or 3 podcasts I've listened to post-French GP, they're all questioning whether LeClerc really, for lack of a better cliche, has that dog in him like Max does to just do whatever it takes to win.

But it sounds like LeClerc is a bit like Lewis, who is a 7x champ.


A true fear of not winning is a great trait to have for an athlete IMO.

absolutely. But don't mistake that for lacking a killer instinct because he definitely has that. I'm not sure about lec yet. He has had so many problems not of his making that is difficult to judge him yet. But if I need one smooth fast lap I'd probably take him over the field. Senna was the same way but he just could never dial it back. He ran every lap like it was qualifying and it cost him some wins

Daniel Ricciardo accidentally called McLaren team-mate Lando Norris a “shithead or an a-hole” four times after making a major mistake after the French Grand Prix.

While talking about Norris' race, Ricciardo repeatedly called the British star a “stronzo”. He said: “Lando, Il stronzo”.

Translated to English, the word simply translates to “shithead” or a-hole”. Moments later the Italian TV reporter told Ricciardo his mistake which shocked the 33-year-old.

Looking shocked, Ricciardo said: “Is it not a good word? The reporter replied: "No."

Ricciardo added back: "Okay. Scusa." The reporter continued: “It is a bad word, more bad than good.”


Ricciardo is fluent in Italian. He knew what he said.

That LSU Grad Alabama Fan poster has openly admitted to being racist on this very thread (or was it last season's, I forget), so its not a surprise that he was the first guy that was triggered by your Hamilton is black and well spoken post.

Interesting how I stated that I probably disagree with 90% of Lewis' political views and his tendency to be outspoken as a reason I might root for other drivers.

No race hate just my choice to disagree....

Maybe you don't like Max because he is white and well spoken and doesn't speak out for social issues.

Interesting how you played the race card. Then later post bashing this entire site as primarily racist.

I am sure there are other F1 discussion sites in which you could participate, then Maybe race would have never been brought up.

But I could be wrong?!?!?

Wait, Ricciardo speaks Italian?! Then why does he pronounce his own name wrong? He is in an international series with fans around the world. I've heard other drivers pronounce his name correctly.

I've heard him say he isn't exactly fluent, but knows enough to get by. He did drive for Toro Rosso, so sure he picked up the necessary words.

Would imagine he pronounces it the way his Italian father pronounces it.

The race card

There it is… can’t dislike someone bc of their SJW bullshite and hypocrisy, nope, it’s bc he’s black.

But those same people that dislike him and are “racists” support LSU football… hmm, something doesn’t add up.

Little known fact, no driver has ever been wrong on the radio.

*Driver A completely runs driver B off the track and wrecks him*
Driver A on the radio: No no no. No! He didn't give me room. a-hole. That wasn't my fault. No. No.

Where did I say that?

While the color of his skin may not be a factor for you, it is for a lot of his detractors. That’s not an opinion, nor is it playing some kind of card.

When he won in Italy a year or two ago he was asked to say something in Italian to the crowd. He went on to speak in perfect Italian for a couple of minutes. The interviewer was surprised.
