If anyone actually said that it would be embarrassing.

Drivers don't need to be from english speaking backgrounds to sell themselves more. Federer and Nadal are both more marketable in Australia than Hewitt is, for example.

It's more to do with personality. Because it's not like Vettel can't speak proper english.

I have heard of Nadal and Federer I have never heard of Hewitt - I have never been interested in tennis - or any other sports for that matter as far as being a fan or supporter is concerned.

So I don't know what these people are like.

Again - I think that Rosberg would be suitable where Vettel is not - both German but Brittney is cosmopolitan and does not have that "formality" as Vettel does.

I was referring to Vettel versus Webber and it was Wedge that raised the issue as some sort of bias.

And companies or brands NEVER assess ads based on anything such as culture, ethnicity or whateever :rolleyes:

Anyway - as far as I am concerned this matter is closed - I stand by my point - and y'all are welcome to your own.

So you are now backtracking on your racism accusations of him and admit there was nothing racist about his post, or what?

I was implying that at worst it could have been interpreted racist and doesn't necessarily mean I fully advocate it hence I specifically used the term "dare I say it"

I take it you've never played Devil's Advocate before and never pretended to be a lefty?

Do not pick arguments here or make accusations if you have nothing to back it up. It reflects YOU in an exceptionally bad light in addition to contravening the rules of this message board.

So either put up or - you know the rest.

Please tell you've never found Garry Walker's remarks disrespectful/insulting.

Unless you're politically correct there are worse things in life than to be insulted and accused of being racist.

You are just fortunate that you were not banned or maybe you are one of those that are allowed to say essentially anything here - of course had you done the same to Lewis Hamilton, you would have been booted from here before you could press the enter button.

Do you want your beloved Kimi at RBR, Mercedes or Ferrari? Or you just want every team to get rid of their drivers?! :rolleyes:
