What some people call cheating I call creativity. Anyone remember the F-Duct?
If not for driver safety I think it was genius and should have been allowed.

Ferrari Jet Mode was pushing it. Continuing to allowing whatever they were doing with the engine would have opened a huge can of worms.

Red Bulls current wing flexing passes all current scrutinizing. Other teams should be able to do the same if they can figure it out.

IMHO of course, since it seems in vogue to take a giant shit on anything I say

Now, let the flaming begin.

Still hasn’t worked for RB though so I guess it really isn’t an issue regardless of the rules debate.

Redbull gives you bendy wings. Pretty obvious in the video, but let the excuses fly as always. Sure MB had something to do with it. Lewis did it SMH

You are making it simplistic, implying that (for some people, not necessarily you) if you do not support Lewis's political position on racism, you must be racist. There is the folly right there. There are many ways to skin the cat, so to speak. Some will disagree on Lewis's take on racism, some will agree, EVEN THOUGH BOTH ARE AGAINST RACISM.

That is the point right there on why I disagree with mixing politics with sports. What is also apparent is some have the idea that if you disagree with Lewis's position on racism, you must be racist, which is simply idiotic IMO.

So that is why REGARDLESS of political position, whether I agree with it or not, it should NOT be mixed in with sports.

Leave politics to the Politicians in the same way I would not want politicians driving race cars.

Masi ok'd to show off Max's broken down car to Imola town on a breakdown truck for all to see and photograph all of RB's hard work instead of taking it straight back to the RB pits.

Speaking generally, its very easy for everyone to say "Im not racist". There are many things in life that will go unknown to billions if you dont see it. I was born in Vermont and did not see many of the issues around with race because the state is almost entirely white. That doesnt make the people that live there racist, just less informed. Lewis is making people see or at least be very mildly aware of the issues and may spark a few people to dig deeper into things and educate themselves on the topic, or maybe not.

I have no problem with it, you do. Its all good. We can both co-exist.

I do disagree with your politicians and racecars dont mix.

Vermont's governor has been a local racecar driver for many years and continues to do so while governor! He is as cool as they come.

Stick to your HR investigations. You'd get killed in contracts. The entirety of the contract is all that counts.

I have a client that is in breech of one of my contracts and doesn't even realize it yet.

The exclusionary line I called out renders anything afterwards in that clause, moot.

So just as an FYI, I work very closely with Equal Opportunity Managers (EEO) in conducting EEO investigations and there are explicit requirements under the law to PROVE or DISPROVE discrimination.

The fact that you simply LABEL others as Racists or are discriminating based on random posts on an F1 Board, without them stating they are outright racist, and without FACTS to back it up is simply not going to cut the mustard. You are simply a Flame Baiter, of which there are a dime a dozen.
Uhh, who are you? Read my post again. Specifically this:

I am only labeling you if you think F1 hasn't ever had a problem with race and diversity. Are you saying that you think F1 doesn't have and never has had this problem?

If what you say is true, you of all people should understand the impact race has had on F1 and not try to minimize it and sweep it under the rug. Talking about it doesn't have to have a negative connotation.

Are you saying you disagree with his experience and the racism he faced while growing up and working his way up the ranks to f1?

You can disagree with how he is using his platform to advocate for change in his sport and overall. Saying you disagree with his position, is like denying what he went through as a kid and even as an F1 driver with the racist fans. Let alone all the stuff you don't see behind the scenes.

You can disagree with how he is using his platform to advocate for change in his sport and overall. But it's pretty insulting to him and others that have experienced similar to pretend like stuff doesn't happen and that he shouldn't or anyone else shouldn't talk about it in F1.

That type of position makes it seem like you are okay with it and want to not talk about it, want to sweep it under the rug. Did you watch any of his interviews on the topic?

Further confirmation you are clueless with your speculations. This is my last post on the subject because I am now prolonging what I did not want to prolonged in the first place. This is a RACING BOARD. GO TAKE YOUR POLITICS TO A POLITICAL FORUM WHERE IT RIGHTFULLY BELONGS.

Sorry, at what point in time did I say anything political? I was specifically addressing racism. Racism isn't political, but yes certain politics sadly can be based on race. Please understand the difference.

It's unfortunate that you make some pretty bold claims, and then don't want to talk about what you said and the implications.

You said you don't agree with Lewis Hamilton's position on racism. His position is that he experienced it and wants to see change, even funding a commission to identify what can be done to help, where I bet he will contribute more funding to.

So you disagree with that? Are you saying you disagree with the racism he experienced? Are you saying you disagree with his position to want to see change in the sport and overall in the world?

Remember, I am only labeling you if you think F1 hasn't ever had a problem with race and diversity. Are you saying that you think F1 doesn't have and never has had this problem? You haven't denied this yet, so maybe you truly do think this.

You can disagree with how he is using his platform to advocate for change in his sport and overall. But that doesn't seem to be what you are disagreeing with based on your comments. But ill let you use it as a way out.

Cheers.
