    Have there been any gay f1 drivers? Not to stereotype but I doubt any gay person would have the aggression and temperament for f1

    Lewis gets more woman than most of the forum combined so he definitely isn't gay


    loled at the Elton John comments tho

    That was back in the days it was socially unacceptable (and in some places illegal) to be gay. Nowadays it is no big deal, so why would anyone want to pretend they are something they aren't?

    Because they might still face bullying, particularly in the hyper-male environment that is the pit garages etc. Plus, there aren't many gay rappers out there, the gangstas wouldn't think kindly of Elton being gay I suspect

    Just because it's accepted by people on facebook and written on memes in arty lettering, doesn't mean it's a potentially not very wise to ''come out''.

    Would he lose sponsors? Highly doubt it. In fact I think a driver coming out could even get a very lucrative deal out of it.

    Maybe different countries have different views on it. In the UK it's accepted in society generally, not just on Facebook and in "arty" circles.

    Not so long ago a Welsh rugby player came out. That's as hard and "manly" a sport as you can get, but it didn't seem to cause a stir or give the person concerned any problems.

    Also, it's not gays that provoke raised eyebrows anymore, but homophobes.

    However, may also be worth noting that F1 visits some places that aren't, let says, very 'tolerant' of such lifestyles. I don't know what, if any implications that may have, but probably best to remain in the closet until retirement.

    If everyone's so tolerant, why did he have to "come out"? He'd clearly kept it quiet until then...why?

    For that matter, why does anyone have to 'come out'? it's no one's business.

    such an in depth, thorough assessment of the nuances of being a homosexual driver in the 21st century..... Now then, on to medical treatments in f1, where are those leeches I keep hearing about, hasn't anyone tried them yet?

    It's funny how some people try to perpetuate their prejudices at every occasion.

    I can only laugh at the statement from toil (on my banned list, but somebody quoted him) that " any gay person would [n't] have the aggression and temperament for f1".

    What a lot of "baloneys".
    There are gays in contact sports (boxing for example), some are soldiers, police officers, fighter pilots, in football, rugby, in athleticism, in swimming, diving, freefall, climbing, etc... all very "macho" and some very dangerous activities. They don't seem to lack aggression or stamina to engage in activities that are far more taxing than F1.

    Moretti would have said toil's post was idiotic and got banned again.

    I'd rather call it ignorant and maybe even homophobic and stereotypical.
