Hi Baggie! Apologise to who?

To whom were you referring when you made the remark ?

To whom were you referring when you made the remark ?

I was not referring to any specific person. I am just reacting to the growing internet attacks and general targeted negative comments levelled at people in F1, at the moment. Doohan and his father experienced that ugliness recently. We have to make an effort to stamp out these sorts of things. We should only make unbiased comments without intentionally digging at anyone. Or attacking F1 people, or anyone for that matter, out of spite.

That is not to say we should not be critical if we can provide a good argument for why we take such a stance.

Would it not be easier to just say you were sorry for calling people ignorant or racist ?
You did ask Airshifter directly to comment .
I expected his "Hammer time" response would touch a nerve , and thus , expected you to return one .

You then responded to a first time poster with a sh!tty BS slag , seemingly about a member of this board who analyzes these races with great care in an incredibly unbiassed way .

Then , when someone calls you out , you play innocent ?
You write some drivel , thinking you've found a way to save face .

Think again .
My mother would have remarked "I'm not as green as I am cabbage looking" .

Apologize or be the fool .

Here you go again Baggie! You talk of a member of this forum as the victim here, then you should name him or her and let us review all of the posts of this individual to see if an apology is deserved.

As for Airshifter's post, l did not read it as it was posted well after all the discussions of the race had concluded. And I still have not read it at this time of posting.

You are clearly offended by my post, which would suggest that you approve of people coming to the internet to post offensive statements toward people. Or to make light of the achievement of individuals in F1. If that is your view on this issue, then you are on the wrong side of the problem.

These individuals are the ones that need to apologise.

As a Hamilton fan I was happy for his decent result, but admittedly good luck helped quite a bit. I wish it was all him but it wasn't. Every race weekend I hope to see Lewis find some lost mojo or whatever but it never quite happens. Sure, it doesn't help that the Ferrari isn't as strong as it could be, but it would at least be great if he wasn't regularly outperformed by his own teammate.

In the end, it is what it is. Being I was never a driver superfan type, I avoided the let downs when a driver expected to do much better doesn't. And the way I've seen it, it's really more of a car thing than most want to admit. Many of the greats are only considered that great due to being in the right car at the time, and without it they aren't as special as some will make them.

Lewis might come back against Charles, as he often improves through the year. But only time will tell.

Overall, I think both Lewis and Fernando are on the downhill side of their best days. They are still both great drivers all things considered, but even that vast skillset and experience they have is sometimes overcome by the young guns and their still lightning fast reflexes. Both still look good when the car is right, and can challenge many of the guys on the grid.

"Those with very poor understanding of racing or overtly dislike Hamilton for his colour would say things like it was luck or the VSC and safety car is what made it possible for him."

This is too much .
You should immediately apologize .

Nah Baggy, it's not like him to admit to his digs at anyone not a Lewis superfan and heaping praise on him at every opportunity. He will play any card he can to claim everyone else are the biased ones, attempt to portray himself as some noble guy that speaks out against any wrongdoing, all while questioning the integrity and character of others.

Though I appreciate you calling BS when you smell it, we all know the road this goes down. First denial, then playing victim, and never engaging in any real conversations that support his views. It's the life of a superfan obsessed with a single driver and trying to prop them up at all costs. I mean, he's even played the race card against a forum member that literally named his son after Lewis. And apparently you warrant an attack on you as well, since you are "on the wrong side of the problem".

I'v learned long ago that the attacks and opinions of those that know nothing about me mean just that.... nothing. I'm fairly certain none of these unwarranted jabs keep you awake at night either.
