Garry is quite unique in how he directs his support. I couldn't accuse him of being nationalistic though as he has never confirmed his own nationality on here. He certainly isn't British. Sorry OT. :)Quote:

I've been around here for almost 12 years (with longer breaks due to heavy illness) and the things I've been exposed to just because of my nationality defy belief, which is why I may be a bit oversensitive in that area. Thankfully in recent years it has much improved. Back in the early 'naughties' being called a Nazi was not that uncommon a thing.Quote:

Garry may well just dislike those drivers and the connection may be purely coincidence? Best not to dig too deep into it. :)
I once got called racist for not liking the new shape Mini. Go figure. :s
Is that the BMW 1 series made in Cowley Dave? lol After flipping an original Mini I sort of went off them, perhaps I was racist against my own country? :pQuote:

As for hating Vettel - He might just not like the guy.
Sutil - As good a driver as he is, he might just not be keen on Slasher. ;) Afterall despite the lack of clarity on his glass smashing incident. It is not something which makes you think highly of him.
As for Nico. I dont know maybe Garry is bald and is jealous of Nico's golden locks.
I have to dig in and say from my recollection Garry is one of the most devout Schumi fans out there, so I highly doubt his extreme dislike of Vettel stems from his nationality

Nonsense. If that had happened there would not have been a "Brazilian hate-fest" because both Barrichello and Massa are likeable characters, not ruthless and cynical as Schumacher was in his first career.Quote:
