I don't like mixing politics with sport. He has a massive following and can use those platforms to air views. He is entitled to show his support for whatever he wants but if F1 is unified in promoting ending racism or discrimination, I think they should be all wearing the same T Shirts etc. They have their personal time to promote their personal views in my opinion. Perhaps he did it because it was televised and got more coverage
Well this race was like the death destruction derby without the death,a real breakers yard of smashed up cars,Stroll was very lucky with that blow out at 170mph,still it made for a interesting race,even if a predictable result.

There is a time and a place for everything. I don't want to see stuff like this in a sport I really enjoy. If LH has had issues growing up then why doesn't he just come out with it. Maybe because it's still present, and he doesn't want to call out the people responsible? Why not say it and where will end and why should people like me, who see people as people have to see it.
I no longer watch the run up to the race and have set my timer to turn it on for ten past the hour, mute the volume as Crofty is annoying on a good day, then turn off straight after the race - as I don't want to see cr4p like this in a sport I enjoy although I saw it today. Anyway, I feel like I'm side stepping what was an interesting race so will now put my lid on as I've aired my opinion, which is just that.
On another note this is LH's 90th win. I look forward to the day he excels MS records

There was a small piece where they showed Mick Schumacher driving is father's 2004 championship winning car. The noise of the V10 was awesome - forgot how loud they were. Sounded epic
Coulthard drove a V10 Red Bull during a demo run in Melbourne in 2014 first event for the current hybrids. We were sat at the exit of the final corner. The contrast in sound was astonishing.

Because I don’t want LH to ‘FRO’ with his opinions. I want him to fight for what he believes is right and use his worldwide fame and High profile to fight on behalf of those who need change.
He could of course say and do nothing and hope everything just comes good by itself.
Sorry for the OT post everyone but I thought the question was worthy of a reply.
On all things. He is a pious ****er. His self flagellation is totally false and yawn inducing.
Not detracting from his talent as a driver of course.

Everybody should fight in what they believe in but what would happen if for example 15 drivers had a cause to fight for? It would be mayhem.
I reckon that the powers that be and some of the other drivers are too scared to say something in case they’re labelled as being racist.
Of course one mustn’t forget that if LH told you to eat your own shit I think you probably would.

And you get your head out your backside.Grow up Darrell.
LH is simply jumping on the bandwagon. How many starts has he made? 200? 250?At how many starts has he “taken the knee” 6? 7? The bloke is a joke
A while ago he was promoting Veganism, then it was environmental issues (nice jet) and then he had a bloody chain and padlock round his neck!! Who does he think he is? Kunte bloody Kinte?
A hell of a lot of my good and close friends are Black. They are embarrassed by him because amongst other reasons a while ago he told everyone he was mixed race!! Bloke can’t even decide what his heritage and colour is.
I want to see him race his car and be the best F1 driver ever.

My only thought on this sensitive subject are that LH gives out mixed messages. The slogan “we race as one” seems pretty clear and easy to understand. He got Mercedes to ditch silver in favour of black and got everyone to wear tee shirts bearing the slogan “end racism”, in fact that message was painted on the Mugello track. That’s all well and good some might say, but then LH reverts to form and wears a different message supporting a movement with dubious underpinnings and questionable motives.
so whilst all the teams and other drivers do actually race as one, LH has to appear different, It seems that he simply can’t help himself.
