Lewis Hamilton has dominantly won the Italian GP, leading the Grand Prix for nearly the entire distance. Sergio Pérez in the Sauber finished in a brilliant second place with an impressive second half of the race. Fernando Alonso is third, having started from 10th position.
this year at Silverstone Alonso was booed. Anyway if the poster on Autosport forum say the truth, it's a huge disgrace.NathanOlder wrote:Just shows you what a racist bunch they are
Just bad losers really. I was at Silverstone in 2011 and Alonso was applauded and fans were disappointed but accepted that the best driver on the day won.
"Then there was the incident when Fernando went off the track in his duel with Vettel: once the telemetry was working again, we spotted there was something not quite right at the rear, so in the final laps, we asked him to be cautious, avoiding the kerbs. When the car was in parc ferme, I have to say we could see the damage was quite bad, also affecting the aerodynamics."
No, but how could you expect them to be quiet. I assure you, there are very few people who wouldn't react the same way if he had done to their teams' drivers what he has (more often than he didn't) do to Scuderia's drivers since he's been around... Italians remember, they rarely forgive. You've all seen The Godfather, right?NathanOlder wrote:And that makes it ok to be racist ?
As for the 23.5 ??? no a f-ing chance. Showed no pace in the race ? so dream on Fernando , dream on
You're not being serious surely; this gives a motive to be racist?! Racism is zero tolerance in all sports, for a damn good reason.Vanja #66 wrote:With all of the history Lewis has with Massa, Kimi (while at SF) and Alonso, why does anyone think the Tifosi would welcome him open handed? Button was greeted quite well last two years... Also, put yourselves in their position, your driver gets a mechanical failure in qualifying, starts 10th and ends up on a podium, while the other guy gets pole and has absolutely no trouble getting the win. They felt cheated, especially considering Alonso stated they were chasing 1:23.5 in Q3... That's 0.5s faster than Lewis. In their heads, Lewis was the embodiment of all the bad luck. Taking those two things into account, still surprised? And that's not even mentioning their national pride, the special atmosphere they make... Nobody makes greater noise than the Tifosi in F1 world and they are the best fans by far in that department...
Its not about being quiet, booing is one thing but monkey chants are a completely different thing. Its pure racism and its unacceptable and I hope but doubt the FIA will investigate.No, but how could you expect them to be quiet.

As for race pace, it's impossible to compare them, they had diametrically different races. FP times tell the story, and those were close... take into account Massa-slingshot effect - voila. I'm done here.
The crowed were in quite a good mood if I remember, I was sitting at Stowe A, and the crowed loved Webber winning. Alonso didnt get booed on the podium ? I got up to the track looking towards the podium, and If there were and booing it would have been individuals. Booing someone who didnt win a race is a damn site better than Racially abusing the winner!Lorenzo_Bandini wrote:this year at Silverstone Alonso was booed.

You are aware Its a TV show that isnt real, Its made to come across as comical, and they have scripts to follow. You could almost say they are acting and joking. If it was a comedian doing a stand up, it wouldnt have been a problem, why ? Its no different. They didnt have bad intent, it was a joke.Redragon wrote:I am disgraceful as anyone else about racism on the sport but it happen on all levels and everywhere.
I suffer everyday as south european living in Uk. There are always a racist idiot around.
I am sure F1 followers in Uk laughed with the racist mexican jokes made at Top Gear.

We didn't have the confirmation of these racism chant, so i don't think it's good enough to talk about it..This thread is temporarily closed. If we can get further confirmation of the events described by the OP, who we suspect is not being entirely honest with the opening post, the thread will be re-opened.
