How more specific can I be? He spoke very poorly and i reserve the right to critique him for this…
I don’t justify any of the hatred…have not referred to any hatred…and do not hate Lewis Hamilton. I don’t think it wise to infer motivations especially when you have not invested the time to understand the argument as evidenced above.
And?
Incredible talent? Absolutely. The best driver F1? Possibly. The most successful? Certainly. A decent bloke? Not entirely sure. By F1 standards, possibly and as an elite athlete, there are definitely worse out there.
That’s quite a claim to make and I would be keen to see the justification*.
This may well be the case, but this does not necessarily make them racially motivated*.
He is celebrated. I for one think he has been one of the stand out athletes of all time. But I don’t approve of tax exiles and he is a bit too late to the party in using his celebrity, money and influence for good (although i have concentrated on his driving rather than his life in general which doesn’t appeal).
I guess so. But i doubt EPO will have too much benefit in F1 as opposed to stimulants and possibly steroids. I know that F1 has out of competition testing, but I have not heard of an in competition test. I’d be interested to know if that happens.
Be very cautious of this for two reasons. As Jorgan has posted, we run the risk of incorrectly assuming motives that may be untrue which poses huge problems for the future and won’t be easily unravelled. And secondly, if we do continue along this path of asserting motive, we can rest assured that we will all become the victims of this in the future.
I agree. Hamilton is unpalatable but so would peaty after a few more months. There’s only so much we can take of ‘I scarified everything to get here’ etc - well you didn’t. Your parents did. You just worked hard. As does everyone now fuck off
Apart from virtually zero direct taxation, the big attraction in Monaco is no paparazzi and local law enforcement that is heavily weighted in favour of wealthy residents.
I did Monaco 70.3 years ago and Macca got his bike nicked outta T1 overnight. It delayed the start by 30 mins whilst the organisers madly tried to borrow him a bike. So zero crime
I did Monaco 70.3 years ago and my credit card got declined as I tried to pay for our 2 nights in a very expensive 2 star hotel. Very nice there though (if you can pay for it!).
I raced in Monaco once - we stayed in a basic apartment in France and walked in each day. Bet it was still incredibly expensive for my family, and deprived them opportunities for their own holidays, but was an amazing experience and believe my parents genuinely are glad for as a one off, above the usual weekends on a poolside in Sheffield.
