Mr. Brightside Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 He was also using the names of the other drivers then referred to Hamilton by his skin colour, which if you take into account that the term isn't normally perceived as racist, that action still is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Even allowing for cultural differences, there's enough red flags about this that the auld goat should never be asked for his opinions again. If he can't refer to the biggest name in his sport and one of the most successful drivers of all time by his name, then that is pretty telling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used the diminutive of nego, neguinho, to add extra dismissiveness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggie_Murray7 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Doesn't Ecclestone have previous for essentially praising Hitler for "getting things done", or words to that effect? And I recall durting all the George Floyd protests and Hamilton's equality campaign he indicated the black folk were far more racist than white folk. He's a c**t.

If you thought football fans were tribal, myopic simpletons, I'd have a look at any of the F1 Facebook pages. Holy shit they are something else. Recent gems include Verstappen still being on 0 world Championships and Hamilton being racist towards Piquet for complaining about his use of "normal Brazilian language" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
