You seem to say that you understand that your defense "more often for Hamilton than usual" might make people think you are a big fan of his , but when Zico says he's sorry he suggested you were an even bigger fan you rip him up and imply he's racist .

It's no sin to be a super fan .
This is from a guy who defended Jacques to the end , and took the stick for it daily . Ask anyone who's been here long enough .

If l were a superfan l would happily say so. But Zico is one of the staunch critics of Hamilton on this forum. So much so that l have had run ins with him about his views on a number of occassions. I call it as l see it. But l certainly have not suggested he is racist. As he has not used racist words or views on this forum as far as l am aware. If he did then l would have called him so.

I have only stated that he is suggestive of that kind of view, which he does.

Similarly, l think people should respect those that do exceptional work in all areas of F1. From drivers, to teams and their personel, to the FOM, the FIA and the volunteer marshals. If anyone appears to denigrade any of these people because they don't like them. Then l think someone should stand up and defend such persons. As that goes to show the even views shared on this forum.

If someone is, for instance, saying that the current seven times world champion only managed to be so, solely due to the car and anyone in the same car can also do it. Then naturally, l would have quirms with that. As it so turns out that a few people have put that view forward, of course you would see me being actively vocal against such views. If that makes me a super fan in your eyes, so be it. But please do not expect me to not react to any view l consider unfair or poorly judged. We are all armchair experts. We do not sit in the car while it is going at 200 mph. We risk nothing but say loads. Sometimes callously.
