Kids are nothing at race tracks, they're like clay that needs to be moulded

If a kid is racist, its because their parent has told them to.

If they're nice, it's because their parents are raising them right

Wouldn't blame the kids for anything, but I certainly can do without the racing dads we get around the racetracks living their lives vicariously through their kids and being a dick to everyone around them.

Motorsports trend for 2024: climate change ruining races everywhere

We are not discussing that. You're saying they're not wrong to say he's a dick. I'm saying they still are wrong.

This is not about kids, this is about you. It's really strange that even such a clean-cut hypothetical scenario elicits a victim-blaming response, and attempt at cleaning conscience of the "non-racist" who make the situation worse though inaction or through enablement. You guys have a long way before understanding the inner mechanics of rejection. Ask a minority friend if you still don't get it. Not just some minority acquaintance who succeeded in life, those will tell you everything was fine. A real, close friend who can recap their lowest moments in life truthfully to you.

You've completely disregarded his upbringing before he signed for McLaren, where you cannot deny he was anything above middle class. Also he was still very middle class outside of the racing scene.

In addition to this, every driver on the F1 grid, you know what, every driver who's ever driven an F1 car, has had the biggest budget of the grid at sometime in their junior career. Karts, Formula Ford, F4 etc.

So this means you hate almost every driver on the F1 grid, or almost every driver who's ever driven an F1 car in history? So why do you and others need to call out Lewis, for something almost everyone else on the F1 grid had?



Congratulations, almost every child ever I've coached in sport, AFL football, cricket, who's had a shred of talent, has had a very similar youthful exuberance and cocky attitude. So once again why do you need to call out Lewis for it? Also, big fucking deal. It worked for him didn't it?



"I know one black guy personally who doesn't like motorsport so they must all dislike it"

Fucking hell what a dumb thing to say.

.

i'd wager lewis will stick around until 40. if he won an 8th championship before then i could see him retiring on the spot

Did I say one?

awwweeeee cry me a river, best go to specsavers, you missed out a lot of what I said white knighting there. Lewis is a pompous arsehole and some people don’t like him, just cos you clearly worship the ground he walks on and try to excuse his behaviour with whatsuisms doesn’t mean the rest of us should.

I dislike Tom and Max Chilton for the same reason too, but I guess that’s ok cos they white right?

You say one of the reasons and than reffering to your boss which i guess is a (black?) man who likes cricket more than f1 but how many black people have you actually spoken with about (F1) motorsports except from your boss?
-How do you know its one of the reasons to speak for all black people? where talking about (+-1.2 billion in the world.)
Anyway that's quite a entitlement statement to make.

Like cycling, curling or swimming you dont see much black people over there but its not that black people have no interest in the sport.
The ones you see if they openly speak about it are saying that the racism they encounter is the biggest problem why we dont see as much diversitiy these sports dominated by most white people.

There are more dynamics beside racism what we dont see, money, chances, background, are certainly One off them to.
Btw im no fan off LH at all.

I think you answered your own question in the last line.

Also, although it’s none of your business, most of the workforce at the company I work at are either black or Asian, there’s like about 8 of us there who are white, so yeah, sorry to bust your bubble but I’ve spoken to more than one person about it, not one are interested….

Your problem is you think the lack of interest stems from racism, class, white privilege etc. when the reality is, the lack of interest stems from cultural differences, they just have other priorities and interests that are not the same as yours.

I’m sorry I haven’t spoken to all 1.2billion black people in the world, have you?

I know



Ok good for your workforce at the company i have no bubble there thats why i asked the question. still those people are not the representation...


Disagree, I sad it is a part of and maybe the biggest one.
I believe it has nothing to do with cultural differences. I know enough (even if that isnt the norm) black people in my private life who like motorsport racing and find it sorry that there is not so much diveristy so where comes the cultural difference in place than?




No appologies but as stated above maybe probably more than you & that's why i find your one of the reasons combined with cultural differences quote as if it is the norm so out of place

Find it funny how your life has been so storied that you can always argument that you've spoken to more people of X type than average and that you experienced disasters of equal or greater dimension than the person you're speaking with.

That’s called life experience (I’m probably old enough to be your grandad), when you get to my age you might understand, but you’ll need to get out from behind that screen and go outside first. I’m long past caring about your feelings, if you don’t like what I have to say, don’t read it. When I was your age I was outside playing in the dirt with friends, or chasing a bit of skirt, not sitting behind a screen telling people 40 years older than me they don’t know what they’re talking about.

No worries @

Sergio, at least we can agree to disagree. When I said “Your problem” I wasn’t particularly talking directly to you, but rather paraphrasing on general terms about virtual signallers and white knighters in general who it seems, like to generalise as much as they complain about me doing the same thing.

Yet you're dumber and more immature than most children with some of the shit you're saying.

No it’s just called being realistic. When you get to my age, you’ll understand.

I will be much happier when I'm your age because morons like you saying utter shit would have moved themselves on.

No problems im not offended at all im just curious and like you sad sometimes you agree to disagree.

That’s assuming you don’t self delete first because your unable to cope with real life.

Rich of you to assume my age but I'm glad you embrace your unpleasant grandad way of being. Sunday lunch with the family must be a hoot.

Yup it is, thanks.

…and to think all this started because I said “i didn’t like Lewis cos of his attitude” which immediately elicited the now standard “that’s racist” response.

How times have changed
