    " Do the research "Todd."

    "They're lying to you."

    :D

    That's not what I've read.

    There is no English passport, thus it is not recognised as a country. English get a British passport, like the Scotts, the Welch, etc ...

    But you still didn't answer the question: Where did I say that Scotland was part of England ?

    I give Northamptonshire police more credibility then the blog. That said, even if they want to protest against eating pumpkins - as long as it’s done peacefully and do not disrupt the track, what do I care? I after all hope it’s not crossing the line in this forum to say I believe in free speech. I know in some corners it’s becoming less in vogue.

    now folks will say then how about Piquet’s free speech? Folks that ask that question don’t understand the concept, I support the idea one is allowed to say anything without sanction from public entities. However, how private people react based on that speech is their perogative.

    His attacks on "old" and "archaic" are about denying people's humanity.

    If any of those guys he targeted were a different shade he would prop the importance of "old", tradition, history, and legacy, all fundamental to being human.

    More than being a hypocrite he's leveraging public opinion to serve his twisted ego.

    So why did he try to sue the watch maker Hamilton....AND LOST a 3 year battle in litigation??

    Even Stevie Wonder could see this a mile away Lewis was going to lose this battle.

    Yep. Even if his team was pushing it, you stop it the moment you know all the facts. I.e. Hamilton watches predates lewis by some 100 or so years. All you say then is "oh oops, our mistake, we apologize" and move on. You don't let it drag on for 3 years. lol

    From what I remember, Hamilton wanted to trademark his name LEWIS HAMILTON for different regalia, etc ....
    The watch company tried to prevent that, claiming they were the owner of the trademark HAMILTON.
    Hamilton was probably advised to go to court to seek arbitration, I guess.
    There is nothing exceptional in that. Trademarks are fiercely defended and are big business.

    Bas, the civil courts work very, very slowly. You would know if you had to use them ! 3 years is nothing for them.

    Also, I suppose that, like all wealthy people, Hamilton affairs are handled by advisers, managers, lawyers and so on.

    But it's a good angle to attack him for the usual detractors.

    There was plenty of the later--just not in front of cameras or other media.

    Anyone see Boy George towing the company line and following Elton’s example by crying ‘victim’ because someone boo’d him in Canada. Quite a negative contrast to Max Vercrashin who when speaking about being boo’d in Englandland just says basically ‘oh well that’s their opinion’ and cracks on!! I will say I used to really like Boy George until he became a little company boy. He’s quite a disappointment.

    According automotorundsport the next directive from the FIA is elaborate to limit the deforming floor from Red Bull and Ferrari.
    It will put Mercedes in the mix for 2023 again.
    This sport is clearly becoming a joke..

    A directive targeting only Red Bull and Ferrari, or applicable to all teams ? ;)

    that's horribble. Seriously. Why not make it a spec series then? Now it's literally just an idea that they have the freedom to design their own car. Have a fast car? Mid season rule changes will make everything equal. Why bother spending 150 million a year? Dumb the whole series down to spec cars and spend 10 million all in.

    BOP in F1.

    A directive targeting the main competitors against Mercedes.
    A real shame William.

    No Mercedes should be competitive at all costs.
    Fia is clearly corrupted now.
