The Miami gp and McLaren F1 team endorsing and platforming an alleged sex offender and rapist, and a known racist, fraud, liar, sexist, homophobic man currently on a criminal trial in the state of New York is disgusting.
I’d argue there’s a big difference between a black man shaking hands with a notorious racist and a white man doing so and then speaking so highly of him afterwards. There is so much nuance and context you’re refusing to unpack just to throw Lewis under the bus for your fav

No you’re absolutely right. At many races they shake the hands of foreign leaders at prize giving and it’s simply a part of the sport which is why no one is as concerned. But a former president who was indicted by his own government and awaiting criminal trial… huge difference.

And then proceeded to advocate for black lives and Ukraine. This is absolutely such a different situation than what l* is doing and I’m shocked op even made the comparison.
This is not funny nor a difference in opinion. I am genuinely beyond disgusted and frankly offended that he is allowed to step foot on that paddock let alone perform for an audience. McLaren must do better. F1 must do better.

Nope! You can and should speak neutrally about the situation. You can say “he’s a very powerful man”, you can say “it was interesting to have him here”. You cannot smile, say you’re “honoured”, say it was “cool”, or say that you have “respect” for him. You can call out your fav.
“Keep politics out of F1” when it’s protesting for equal rights, BLM, and against genocide, but it’s fine when it’s “pleasure to meet you” and a handshake with a suspected criminal, and known racist and sexist, currently vying for a second term in office.
Just letting everyone know that tweets in support of Palestine are being messed with and shadow banned by Twitter. This is only one example but has happened to many of my tweets and others on the tl please keep talking your messages are being heard even if Twitter won’t show you.
Norris fans being dense in the quotes and replies. No he can’t just tell him to eff off and bolt but he can remain straight faced, say his thanks and leave, without smiling, handshaking, and saying “pleased to meet you”
He hasn’t even gotten a podium in f2. No doubt he is an incredible talent and deserves support and opportunity to achieve his best but throwing him in at the deep end is not that. This could have horrible repercussions for him mentally and potentially damage his career long term.
🚨 | Will Buxton:
"[Kimi Antonelli] could be making his F1 debut in Imola in a couple of weeks' time in place of Logan Sargeant."
"Sources appear to be quite reliable on this."
"They will need special dispensation from the FIA to run him as he is underage at 17 years of age."
I know a lot of you are from the UK so I have attached a list of ongoing petitions for the UK parliament in support of Palestinian aid and freedom please take one minute out of your day to sign.

The situation with RB and Horner has been handled horribly and even now as official reports come out stating that nothing sexual was accused the response and backlash to this all has the same end result of making it harder for women in motorsport to remain safe and protected.
New AMuS article confirms, that Russell was protecting Fernando in front of the press but told the stewards a whole different story, that he thinks Fernando did it on purpose.
the thing that bothers the most about the whole bianca thing (apart from the ableisim ofc) is the unnecessary hate towards lance, what does he have to do with anything, why are you hating on a driver that has done nothing and has nothing to do with you??? mean girl syndrome fr
To people who are replying with requests of proof or saying that he is not or has not done any of these things it is an immediate hard block and a hidden reply. I am not using this time to educate people who refuse to educate themselves and I will not be engaging or platforming.
In George Russell’s first two seasons in Mercedes against world class teammate Hamilton he has contributed to 49% of the Mercedes points and has yet to lose in a seasons qualifying h2h! I see this as an absolute win for him and can’t wait for next season!!
Imagine being such a checo hater you’d admit you do fuck all for feminism except for shaming women who support him and calling him a cheater which mind you isn’t a direct adversary to any major feminist cause or branch of thought. Do better.
