Formula 1 2017

[Dylan]

Tax avoidance, gender assumption, firing his Dad, being an arrogant sod towards his team mates, one of which was a friend since childhood.

The only thing in that whole lot which qualifies is this recent gender thing.

Lots of F1 drivers move to Monaco to about taxes, legally. Don't really care that he sacked his dad, you shouldn't include family when you do business, it never turns out well.

And who cares about Nico's feelings. They are competitors for the same prize. Nick was also very complicit in the breakdown of their friendship.

I personally don't like his persona he has adopted for the world to see and I honestly think he has a bit of entitlement about him on the track.

The gender assumption thing was blown way out of proportion

'Boys don't wear dresses'

Oh my god, the horror. Such outrage.

Well that's the reasons I personally don't like him. The entitlement is another reason.

Not wanting to come over as a Hamilton Fanboy, but...

Same thing loads of people (prob including most F1 drivers) do.
Fired, or decided to hire someone who actually knew what they were doing?
Honestly how would you feel if your little cousin dressed up like that?
A) Nico definitely started it; B) the stakes are pretty high...

Sorry, on my phone, so order is wrong.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Seems a big hoo-ha over not a lot. Slow news day perhaps? Anyhow he has his weak points for sure and I don't agree with much of what he comes out with but he has also done stuff on the humanitarian front too. I certainly believe that there are millions of worse people out there.

He should also be respected whether you like him or not for what he has achieved, it is the British way to build up and then find a (or any) reason to knock them down again. Personally I don't care if any of our home sports men/women are the type that would sell their own grannies to win, it's all about the results.
