And on that bombshell....Goodnight!
As most of you will be active in other threads next year: It was a pleasure to have fun with you in the AMG threads for the last 10 years!
Have a nice Christmas and see you @Ferrari or @McLaren next year!
And on that bombshell....Goodnight!
Should be like a morgue
Lewis has, many times and at great length, described the systemic racism he has had to deal with. There are also plenty of times it was public and evident. I'm not really sure what point you are trying to make, other than that you are not racist (which I agree, that statement, while based on race, is not in and of itself, racist).venkyhere wrote: ↑09 Dec 2024, 09:52There is so much hue and cry calling me a racist. I am not. I am a coloured person myself.venkyhere wrote: ↑08 Dec 2024, 13:42FIA, FoM and Liberty should atleast try to hide their bias towards LH and not openly genuflect in front of #blackjesus (an ok hashtag for his fans, considering how much PR is invested into portraying him as a victim because he is black, and how, he still is an unselfish messiah of the masses).Luscion wrote: ↑08 Dec 2024, 11:24FIA are letting Lewis do celebration donuts with the podium finishers at the end of the race even if he doesnt finish on the podium himself, thats cool

What about guys like Kmag, Zhou, Bottas, who may never race again ? Hamilton is only moving from one team to another
I was pointing to how the 'race' card is played by LH's PR team (and himself in some interviews 'saying without saying the word') to portray him as the victim of great injustice in his career, purely because of race. THis is a "money" sport. Even if a team owner/principal is a racist, he has to swallow his personal views and hire 'talent' and pay good money for it. LH has been the highest paid and most in-demand driver for a decade, yet the marketing circus around him has to use 'race' as a trump card to 'enhance his heroism'.
You people are too naiive, if you think the word 'black' in my post means I am racist. I am pointing out how 'race' is being used as a tool. Even without that tool, LH is one of the all time greats of the sport.
LH is every bit the 'typical' F1 driver - selfish, opportunistic, tantrum-throwing, but insanely talented, with an irrevocable zeal for winning. That's what makes him a record breaker champion. It comes with flaws too. It doesn't make him a 'messiah'. In fact, there can't be a messiah in any sport, because sporting success is founded on talent backed by a superiority-complex : 'I am better than the rest'. It's impossible to stay motivated without that mindset.

Auf Wiedersehen, Lewis and TeamLH, won’t miss either of you. Onward and upward! Super excited to see how this talented young man performs.

It contributes nothing to the discussion here, and is actively antagonistic. Just do everyone a favour and delete the post.Tonino wrote: ↑10 Dec 2024, 14:15What exactly is your problem with my post?PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑10 Dec 2024, 01:41Posts like this remain standing after clearly breaking forum rules.Tonino wrote: ↑09 Dec 2024, 18:01Finally, this chapter is over.
