    So , here's the story of this thread :
    I asked a question about a rule and you guys went off on a racism rant until you said we should talk about racing instead of racism .
    Then , you answered my question .

    You get why I was irritated ?
    Well, the FIA and F1 management decision on this was the correct one. And they have approached it in a meassured way; without emotions and the right level of sensitivity to the issue in question. And l commend them for it. I suppose your question has been answered.

    I am sorry buddy, l have no further comment to make on this subject. I am happy to chat with you until the cows come home on anything to do with actual racing.

    No, it’s a two hour race limit of racing action. The clock stops when the race stops. It’s a 4 hour race limit after lights out regardless of whether the race is finished or not.

    I think they have realised there could be potential backlash were they to punish him now. They are issuing clearer guidelines- if he breaks them then he has only himself to blame then. Effectively they are saying, in a roundabout way, one more strike and you’re going to be punished.

    Horrible sneaky people, going about rules and stuff to attack this wonderful man. I bet you didn't even knee for anything today. Since I gave up my weaked ways I knee for everything. Tonight, after I finish my bucket of chicken wings I'm taking a knee for the hungry children of the world.

    For completion, Breonna Taylor's family has been awarded $12 Million in settlement by the City of Louisville Kenturky. Just to give you a sense of the importance of this situation in monetary terms.

    I wonder what is happening in Ferrari right now. They had Arrivabene that brought Ferrari to the brink of winning a championship sacked and since then things has progressively gone down hill for them. They are now more or less back to where they were when Arrivabene took the helm all those years ago. So what now?

    For full completion, what happened to Breonna was horrendous. I have an apartment in NY and, a couple of years back, a man collapsed in front of his apartment building just down the road from me. His wife called the ambulance and police arrived, they saw the her trying to give CPR to him, and when she looked up they shot both her and him, zero provocation and both died as a result of their wounds. None of this was covered by the media because they were white. Not a peep. They had a no knock warrant for Breonna Taylor’s apartment and shot because Kenneth Walker shot at them. They had zero reason to shoot at this poor couple.

    Both deaths are tragic, but the media sensationalise one, not the other. Who has the privilege?

    Sorry, l find it hard to believe the police would turn up and just shoot a man already down and recieving medical aid from a woman you claim to be his wife. And she also shot by the police. There is more to this story, espionage gone wrong etc.

    If it didn't make the news, if may be a classified incident. Especially with both being caucasians. There is no biase here, though you seem keen to manufacture one. This sort of thing is the stuff the media live for. They would lap it up and sensationalize it by running it morning, day and night for as long as they can get anyone to listen to it. So get your facts straight buddy.
