  • So one part I forgot to mention from the Miami Comedy Review was the appearance of a certain spray tanned politician. But with political statements supposedly banned in Formula One, is this okay? And does it fuel a wider issue faced by the sport at the moment? Here are my very quick thoughts...

      This is the right take. Even from a democrat's perspective, there's significantly worse people who tour the garages and meet the drivers throughout each season. The ONLY reason there's an issue with Trump going this is because he's a far more public figure. Anyone who has a problem with what happened doesn't have an issue with bad people or Trump's ethics. They have an issue with someone they've heard of and learned to not like, doing something cool in the public eye. That's it. Otherwise there would be a lot more questions around Saudi princes and the like who do this stuff all the time and do way, way worse stuff.

    It kind of grossed me out in a way, but also he had a gross interaction with someone I grew up with at a fashion show when he was still celebrity orange man. So I'm not the most unbiased opinion either. I'd love some consistency either way so I can get behind that.

    Telling Trump no gives him way more fuel to burn than just letting him come through and do the handshake thing. We just need to ignore him.
    With that said, he currently has the right and available freedom to be there if he wants, so he was there.

    Why didnt he go to the Hass garage, you know the American team, or visit with Logan Sargent, you know the American driver? Why, you ask? Because they were smart enough to keep as far away from that orange turd as possible!

      @@oldscooterguy1 No he wasn't invited by Zac Brown( look it up). It seems really hypocritical for someone whos mantra is Make America Great Again, would visit a British team owned by the Kingdom of Bahrain, and not support the Americans in the series. Although I'm sure they are thankful he stayed away from them!

    Interesting topic. I think the difference is that McLaren didn't put logos/slogans on their car or clothes or going out of their way to make sure everyone hears that message. Hamilton constantly foregrounded his issues and it the black lives matters slogan was visible on the telecast while driving.

    UFC allows almost any political statement because they don't give a fuck. F1 can't really do that because they are owned by the Saudis and other groups similar so I can see why politics aren't allowed. Sports like the NBA went far left and now it pisses a lot of people off including me. Being a political is a breath of fresh air in this landscape.
