Yeah I can agree not liking him and not liking the move he pulled but leave booing out of it. It ruins any sport, no matter the reason.

Ah boo, Sainz couldn’t hold on to 3rd. Well done Ocon and Vettel though. And Williams 8th and 9th! Good for them.

Alonso was bloody amazing, that Alpine was wider that I thought!

I wont lie, I was disappointed to loose so many cars, BUT the race was so good! Even if it was a bit processional here and there, also can SkyF1 replace crofty with Nico?

Really? I found him incredibly wooden and not “flowing” whatsoever.

…But then again, we miss Coulthard and mention it at the start of every Sunday race, even after what…3 years?

He is still a frikken legend though. His response to the first “the stewards want to see you because of the t-shirt worn during the anthem” is perfect:

“I’m happy if they disqualify me. They can do whatever they want to me, I don’t care. I would do it again.”

I was not aware they were upset about his shirt! Why would they be? This is supposed to be the platform they all use for their 10 seconds of activism???

It’s not the approved We Race As One (except not in all countries where we turn a blind eye) © shirt, but his own LGBTQ+ supporting shirt, against the FIA instruction. So they’re upset for being lame.

Because it’s really just Formula One media pandering for one minute before the start of each race. Anything that potential could embarrass the host nation is taboo. Especially during the national anthem. That Seb dared to wear his shirt during the anthem was somehow against the rules, even though wearing it literally 10 seconds earlier was okay. Yeah, that’s bollocks.

That he’s been visually and vocally supporting the Hungarian LGBTQ community the entire weekend is testament to his conviction. Here’s the reason he was going at it all weekend:

Interestingly, the FIA decided not to investigate Hamilton when he wore his “Arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor” t-shirt before the Tuscan GP and on the podium, yet Vettel got an official Reprimand (Non Driving) for “forgetting to take off his WRAO t-shirt before the anthem”. :SMH:

It’s all pandering.

I want to see if Lewis or anyone of the other drivers or teams takes a stand against the murdering of journalists by the Saudi regime at the Saudi GP at the end of the year. What are they going to do to Lewis when he wears a t-shirt with Jamal Khashoggi’s face on it? Fine him? “Justice for Jamal” slogan on Seb’s helmet? Prevent him from racing? That’s when the true failings of the whole We Race As One tagline will fall apart.
