Some old legends might hate, that's the case in every sport, but there's plenty of respect between current drivers.



Hamilton said Max was a future champion right after the race.

These are all the poles McLaren has gotten from Lewis' rookie season until now. And those clowns had the nerve to shout out Kimi for his participation award, but not Lewis for 91 wins.

Lewis Hamilton has slammed the decision to appoint Vitaly Petrov as an F1 race steward

'It is a surprise to see they are hiring someone who is so vocal about things we are trying to fight': Lewis Hamilton slams decision to appoint ex-F1 driver Vitaly Petrov as race steward despite his views against Black Lives Matter
  • Lewis Hamilton has slammed decision to appoint Vitaly Petrov as a race steward
  • The former Russian driver has publicly opposed Black Lives Matter movement
  • Six-time world champion Hamilton said he does not understand the FIA's move

Lewis Hamilton has criticised Formula One bosses for appointing a steward who has spoken out against Black Lives Matter.

The world champion has led the sport's fight for equality, calling on his fellow drivers to take a knee.

But former F1 driver Vitaly Petrov, who is making his debut as one of four stewards at this weekend's Portuguese Grand Prix, said: 'A Black Lives Matter T-shirt is superfluous, as is calling on everyone to kneel.

'According to our traditions, a man kneels only in two cases - in a place of worship before God and when you propose to your future wife.

'You can speak out on your social networks, you can give interviews. But for Formula One itself to call on everyone... I think...'

The 36-year-old Russian, who raced against Hamilton 57 times, added: 'What if one of the drivers comes out as gay? Will they get a rainbow flag and urge everyone else to become gay?'

Hamilton hit back, saying: 'It is a surprise to see they are hiring someone who is so vocal about things we are trying to fight against. We should be including people who are with the times and sensitive to the matters that are surrounding us. So I don't really understand what the FIA's goal is or why he is here. It is not like they don't have other options.' :mjpls:

The FIA declined to comment. They did, however, warn Racing Point over their failure to test Lance Stroll as soon as he went down with Covid symptoms during the Eifel Grand Prix a fortnight ago. The Canadian later tested positive.

Mika Salo was charged with tax fraud and is a member of a Finnish chapter of Hell's Angel's. He has the tattoo and everything. It was eating his racist ass from the inside seeing his countrymen shown up by a black man every weekend.
FIA been on some bullshyt.

Honda is pulling out after the 2021 season. RBR is probably going to have to go back to Renault, because I don't see Mercedes or Ferrari supplying engines. Alpha Tauri could go back to Ferrari although with the bad performance, they might want to go to Renault as well.

Seeing Verfappin' become slower is one of my great pleasures in life.

This is the shyt I'm taking about. Bottas exceeded track limits and the stewards clearly ignored it. But I bet if Lewis did it they would enforce it to keep the championship 'exciting'


Lewis already dissed one of the stewards before the race. He would have gotten sent to the back of the grid for that shyt.

People really tried to pretend like he was nuts for saying "they" were coming after him. They deny it and then a few weeks later they assigned an anti-BLM race steward on the week he could break Schumacher's record.
