Re: Taking the Knee on F1
Hamilton is a disgrace in my opinion because it was him who started it all off by going to the press and airing his anger and disappointment that F1 had stayed quiet and that being quiet proved there was inequality problems within F1. Hamilton also spoke to the press about his disgust with the other F1 drivers for not taking a stand together on the issue of BLM.Hamilton used the colour of his skin and his position as current F1 world champion to publicly shame the sport and his fellow drivers to force them into doing something.
Him being a British driver, I naturally rooted for him to win but I wont be doing that anymore.

But she was my boss when I was in the military.

A legal tax dodger crying out BLM, taxes that would got to help BLM, taxes that Hamilton does not pay. Ironic isn't it.

Re: Taking the Knee on F1
I'm just wondering if Hamilton may have shot himself in the foot......I always record the F1 highlights in case I miss it, and also so I can wind through the endless adverts that always seem to accompany the race....And I've just watched a rerun of the race. Hamilton was given a penalty for an incident during qualifying which placed him in fifth place on the grid....He was later given a five second penalty for another incident on the last few laps of the race, that seemed to surprise the pundits who like me thought it was just a racing incident. That sent him back to fourth at the end of the race as Lando Norris [who was in fourth] had now been elevated to third and a place on the podium for Maclaren.
It was suggested by the race pundits that Mercedes could have let him pass Bottas to allow him scoot away and regain the five seconds and thereby producing a one two for Mercedes.....But they didn't....Is it possible that Hamiltons season is going to full of such mishaps? Has he embarrassed some powerful people who control F1? Just a thought.....
