I wonder if Lewis even realises Mercedes and Hugo Boss past Nazi involvement, has he ever called it out? A bit ironic he spreads these messages while working for and promoting such companies.

I guess it's easily forgotten when they pay you tens of millions though, right?

Yeah before quickly deleting it.

I’m sure Ferrari, given all their issues this year, are scampering around to find a POC mechanic in the middle of a pandemic to satisfy Hamilton’s skin colour demands. If they aren’t, well, I know a racist organisation when I see one.

You know that huge black Italian population is not represented!! /s

What I personally find amusing about it is Hamilton's limited view of "diversity".
He can look at a picture and see no black people in it. OK, that may be true, but does it make the picture, and the team, "not diverse"?

We don't know, form a picture, if any of them are gay. We don't know if any of them are disabled. We don't know their family heritage, if, for example, they have any African / Middle Eastern heritage. Not uncommon in Southern Italy. We don't know their political views, maybe some lean left, maybe some lean right. Diversity of thought, I would say, is much more important that someone's skin colour.

Diversity isn't only about skin colour. But it's becoming more and more apparent that Hamilton only cares about black people, more specifically, black Americans. He is not American. He doesn't give two stuffs about the U.K., regardless of his little fly in, snap a pic for Instagram, fly out stunt he did in London's BLM protest.

The guy is an absolute fraud and a hypocrite. He will never boycott a race in China in protest of their treatment of the Uyghurs because he has never given them two thoughts. He is a selfish moron who only cares about himself and very limited section of global society because it benefits him on an egotistical level. His constant calling out of anyone who doesn't think and behave like him is fucking disgusting given how uninformed and ridiculous his views are. This is not his sport and he shouldn't be allowed to use it as a platform to promote his ignorant views. He should run for office and make a difference there instead of dragging the sport through the mud.

I hope the FIA make an example out of him for his Mugello stunt, but I very much doubt they will.

I'm so tired of talking about him but he just keeps going further and further making it hard to talk about anything else.
The sooner he fucks off, the better. I have absolutely no respect for him whatsoever and he is tarnishing his legacy forever with this behaviour.
Sadly, however, it seems many F1 fans don't feel the same and are absolutely lapping up this utter bollocks.
Bernie selling F1 was a travesty, I'd give anything to have him back right now :messenger_grinning_sweat:

It's not only Hugo Boss, Petronas is a government owned Malaysian company and it's not a secret how many human rights are being violated there. He's doing a lot for show, but outside of the spotlight receives big paychecks from these companies.

I was a fan of Ham from his debut - didn't like Alonso and wanted for a new guy to kick his ass. And who would've known he will break all records in the sport.

But now he went full retard. It's time to check your privilege, dude.
 
Fear not Lewis, the big dicked german you see in the picture will soon be replaced by minority hire Carlos Sainz. Then you can relax even more because you'll face even less competition.

Give Max a car that's like 60% as good as the Mercedes.

I fell off this season with Ferrari being shit and Redbull being a one car team that still isn’t close to Mercedes. Fuck Bottas too.

The current season is about enjoying the midfield battle. I think that Racing Point, McLaren and Renault have similar chances of ending up third in the standings.

Now that Claire Williams is no longer boss of Williams, I wonder if there's a chance George Russell can get out of his contract and into Mercedes next year. Interviews with George at the time suggest it was Claire that wasn't prepared to let him go.
 
It's not only Hugo Boss, Petronas is a government owned Malaysian company and it's not a secret how many human rights are being violated there. He's doing a lot for show, but outside of the spotlight receives big paychecks from these companies.


The reported crimes include indiscriminate attacks and intentional targeting of civilians, burning of shelters, pillage, destruction of objects necessary for survival, unlawful killing of civilians, rape of women, abduction of children, torture, and forced displacement. When the consortium that Petronas took part in operated in Block 5A, approximately 12,000 people died, and 160,000 were violently displaced from their land and homes, many forever. Satellite pictures taken between 1994 and 2003 show that the activities of Petronas in Sudan coincided with a spectacular drop in agricultural land use in its concession area.
 
Lewis Hamilton needs to shut the fuck up already. There is a time and a place for politics. Not saying it can't be brought up, but constantly rubbing peoples faces in it is getting old now. Even dissing Jackie Stewart over it.

Claims to be an environmentalist as well - is there is bigger indulgence that involves burning fossil fuels than Formula 1??

On top of all this he thinks he is a fashion model - guy is a first class privileged pratt.

And of course Lewis will remain silent over this GP joining the calendar. Personally I'm not planning to watch it, just like I completely lost interest in Dakar since they moved to Saudi Arabia.
 
Nice, I suppose when Lewis is on the podium, they'll give him a machete shaped trophy, which he can then use to behead any journalist who asks the wrong questions, while raising his fist screaming "WeRaceAsOne" .

How about we cover all the females head-to-toe for the GP as well - that is, if they're allowed to enter the venue in the first place.

Lewis Hamilton vows to make F1 as 'diverse as the multicultural world we live in' because he remains the only 'driver of colour' since started 14 years ago - as he launches commission to help more black people into sport
  • Six-time world champion launched the scheme to boost BAME representation
  • The 35-year-old Mercedes star remains Formula One's sole black driver
  • MP Tracey Crouch today named among 14-strong Hamilton Commission board
Lewis Hamilton has pledged to 'make a change' and get to the bottom of motorsport's diversity problems as he names the members of his new commission today.

The six-time world champion launched the Hamilton Commission in June in a bid to boost BAME representation across the sport.

The 35-year-old remains Formula One's sole black driver and so partnered with the Royal Academy of Engineering earlier this summer to try and make the sport 'become as diverse as the complex and multicultural world we live in'.

Full list of people on the Hamilton Commission's board at the jump:

Btw, F1 had a couple of Japanese and Indian racers before and even the champion from Africa. Stop this bullshit, Lewis. If a person believes the most important human trait is skin color, this person is racist.

It's becoming more and more obvious that this whole so-called “diversity” project is primarily about elevating black people and making them feel better about themselves. It's not really about other non-white groups at all.

Yeah this, F1 IS diverse, you have and have had drivers from dozens of countries around the world "bUt MuH sKiN CoLor". Get fucked Lewis you racist piece of shit.

Also Albon, come on... how is this guy still driving an RB?
 
Sorry for the double post but I can't comprehend the effect Lewis has single handedly had on me as both a previous fan of himself and the sport. He's eroded a hardcore fan who always cheered him on into someone who basically seethes everytime he is on the screen now.

I used to watch all of the press conferences, pre race build ups, the podium celebrations and post-race interviews, but since his drama queen, virtue signalling racist antics have taken over the sport, haven't watched any of those in ages. As soon as Qually and the race is done, I tune straight out.

I can't wait until he leaves the sport to go and be a pretentious prick somewhere else.
