Fortunately, the Brazilian public really fukk with Lewis

To an insane degree. Ever since Massa, no one made Brazilians tune in like Lewis and it's really out of mutual respect and admiration. I still get chills remembering the crowd cheering for Lewis last year. That was one hell of a race.


And then this year Merc gave him a car on fukking hydraulics.

This probably made the viewership for F1 here tank harder than OKC.
And mind you, the races are usually on Sunday afternoons with pretty much zero competition and on free tv channels.

"People say things... if people happen to be a little bit overweight, or undersized like me, I'm quite sure a lot of people have made remarks about that. If I'd have heard it, I'd have been able to deal with it myself without too much trouble.

"I'm surprised Lewis hasn't just brushed it aside. Or, better than that, replied. But he's now come out and Nelson has apologised."

Believe it or not, this is one of least racist comments that he has made.

If you go further back into the history of Eccelstone and his once partner in crime Max Mosley, that web is intricate and sordid as hell, especially on the Mosley side.

You will find Nazi sympathisers, Founders of fascist parties, and Teddy boy leaders in that history.

Leopards don't easily change their spots

No that it changes much, but still good to see

Ecclestone isn't even worth interviewing anymore, half of it is his old age has made him more senile and the other half is he's always been a rich out of touch c*nt.

The man also just said he would die for Putin and the Ukraine war isn't bad

“I’ve spent a bit of time with Nelson, I think more than the average person in general, and he is definitely not a racist,” said Verstappen. “He’s actually a really nice and relaxed guy.

“I’m pretty sure also, in the statement he released, I think you can see the word in two ways. But I think it’s still just better not to use it.

“I don’t think he needs me to tell him what is right and what isn’t,” he said. “He already said in his statement I think he realised that he used the wrong word.

“So who am I to then call him? I don’t think it will change anything anyway. I think he realised it was probably not the correct word to use – well, clearly it’s not the correct word to use.

“It can be interpreted in two ways and of course people pick up on the bad side and then it gets really blown out of proportion. Because I know Nelson personally, people label him as a racist now, which I don’t think he is. But I fully agree, of course, that you cannot use these words.”

“I think it’s better to open a conversation instead of banning because when you ban people, then you are actually not even helping the situation,” he said. “You’re not talking. You have to communicate.

“Communication is really important because if you just ban that is not helping what you’re trying to enforce, right? You’re trying to educate people. So it’s better to have a chat.

“These things can be very easily solved. When you have a fight with someone and you insult someone and you have a good chat and you apologise, in these kind of things is exactly the same. It’s of course not nice to the one you upset but things can be easily forgotten and as long you learn from the mistakes you made or the wording you use.

“I don’t think you should be banned from from the paddock. And especially, I don’t think, a three-time world champion.”

I'm going to have to check Reddit for this shyt, that'll be my dose of racism for the day. This is what I expected from him. He doesn't understand wrongdoing unless he's on the receiving end. But this is who they decided should be champion last year.

When you start reading it it actually seems reasonable. But in actuality it's the same tired bullshyt from a guy who probably sat back and smiled when his Dad and Piquet called Lewis the n word or worse, after Silverstone.

f that old cac and his whole lineage

 

[Mac Milli]

F1 is full of so many pieces of shyt. It's disgusting. Can't wait until Lewis retires, so I can stop watching this trash.

 

[The Bookie]

It gets worse.



He's asked about Keke Rosberg (Nico's dad) and says that he was a shyt driver, just like his son, and that the only reason why he beat Lewis that one year was because Lewis must have been getting fukked in the arse, more than usual.

 

[jj23]

It gets worse.



HSay that Nico Rosberg and his dad were shyt drivers and the only reason why he beat Lewis was because Lewis must have been getting fukked in the arse, more than usual that year.

Man fukk this c*nt. fukk his family, and fukk Max for enabling this piece of shyt with his 'he isn't racist' comments. fukk all of them and anyone who supports them.

Lemme say this:

I happened to catch a lunch with RB’s former marketing director, literally the guy who created the F1 team. He told me that even though the program is obviously his baby, he is a huge fan of Lewis (favorite driver) and he totally thought Lewis was jobbed. Neutrals can make of that what they will. It truly sucks that Lewis has to constantly deal with this shyt.

 

[Obreh Winfrey]

Once is an accident, twice is a pattern, or some shyt. But let these intentionally obstuse MFs on the internet tell you it doesn't mean what it actually means

 

[Obreh Winfrey]

The few laps Lewis did in FP1, the car was looking pretty stable. No premature lifting or anything. Promising sign.
