What an eloquent piece you have written. I could not write it better for the sake of my anger at the surprising display of indifference to the difficulties facing a vast number of people that we share this planet with. That we share our nations, cities and streets with. It is just a surprising show of inhumane sentiment that demonstrates where the sort of mentalities that brought about human conflicts in antiquity originated from. With the information and higher knowledge available to us in this day and age, we should know better and care better for our fellow human beings, but many don't.
Hence, l commend you highly for your lovely post.Last edited by Nitrodaze; 14th September 2020 at 18:29.

You are correct Baggie!
the FIA has launched an investigation into Hamilton's shirt. Drivers and teams are not allowed to make political statements on the circuit. If the text can indeed be seen as a political statement, the 35-year-old Briton will in all likelihood receive a fine.

You are making assumptions about me that are absolutely baseless .
If you read the post you quoted again , perhaps you'll see that I , clearly , made no comment on his words , but only on the regulations .
You , Nitrodaze , are coming across as someone who is calling me out as a racist .
The FIA is investigating the action , so we'll see if they will regard it as a breach of podium protocol or not .

Thank you.
I just calmed myself down and wrote that in hopes to enlighten a few around here.
some of our forum members, as you rightfully pointed out, seem more than willing to be dismissive or worse yet buy into some weird and disturbing narrative of things, which, frankly i have no more time for anymore. a few have gotten on my ignore list as it doesn't seem worth my time to engage them anymore, but a few others, like Bagwan, who i respect, am more than willing to have a civil discussion. I understand his query as to regs, and just wanted to make the point about protest in general and our reactions. Even if the FIA levy a fine, it is still worth it and definitely worth the attention it has brought. He would gladly pay whatever fine they impose...if they are shortsighted and myopic enough to impose one, instantly become the villains in this story and a looming PR disaster, then I'm sure mercedes will have his back as well as millions of others. Let the FIA reveal what Ferrari did or did not do, before they go after Hamilton for any kind of breach of decorum. Who exactly did he offend? which political party, government, country, or ethnicity did he besmirch? surely not the police, because if they are offended by the call to arrest officers who broke into the wrong house and gunned down a woman in her bed for an alleged "drug raid" then proceed to lie, obfuscate and protect those killers, then those folks should not be surprised that the public is outraged and refuse to let it go.
But back to Racing hopefully and perhaps the 2 week break will do all of us some good, and allow others to now take the time to find out why the protest happened.
you can't argue with results.

All they said was that he remains the most vocal and most visible supporter of the BLM movement .
That is true , but has no bearing on whether he is allowed to display his message on the podium .
If you accepted that Hamilton was sanctioned for entering pit lane when it was closed last race because it was a clear rule broken , then why wouldn't you accept him being sanctioned for breaching podium protocol if it's a clear rule ?
The only thing that could save the situation for all involved is to deem whether it is a political message or not , as neither political nor religious messages are allowed .
But , it should be made clear that , unless the rules are changed , it shouldn't happen .
To be honest , Mr fan , I found the act to be somewhat disrespectful , as opposed to inspiring .
They have dedicated a portion of the program specifically for a display of support .
They have shown a well-produced promo multiple times during each airing specifically dedicated to the cause .
There are many signs of support all around the paddock from the FIA and all the teams .
It is far more publicity and respect for the cause than I expected from the FIA and F1 , and they should be commended .
And , so should Lewis .
Without him , most of it wouldn't have occurred .
When it is simply not allowed , the "goodness" of the message doesn't matter .
Impressive morning from Evans and Ogier tho.. Let's see if some rain would come in the Afternoon, some clouds ale rising here
