"Lewis Hamilton is an amazing sportsman. Fact! He does come across sometimes as a bit of a dick. Opinion (mine)! He is a tax exile living in Monaco (I think) so puts me off too! Couldn’t care less what colour his skin is, for me all the above statements are true!"

"I know a few Dads who’s sons raced karts at Rye house at the time Lewis started. Generally regarded as good guys, he was not especially talented but was driven. (no pun) The real change came when Ron Dennis & Slippery Bernie saw the commercial appeal of a black driver and funded his development. I’m not suggesting it was just that that made him a champion but motorsport is all about funding. One guy thought his boy a terrific driver but couldn’t work out why when they had the same regulated Honda engines there were lesser drivers beating him. Turns out some engines are just better than others, so the wealthy Dads would buy them in say lots of 20, dyno test them to get the best two then sell off the rest. Good luck to Lewis I say. I’m not a fan of him or F1 by the way. Fame & wealth does strange things to people . Of course he’s not racist . Very few people actually are believe it or not. " Not sure Lewis had cash before he was recognised as talented so he must therefore have been a gifted driver to get noticed regardless of his skin colour. They wouldn’t back someone without talent given the sums involved surely? | |||

"Genuine question He talks about the fact that he feels lonely in F1 "being the only person of colour in the room " If there are people in a room should skin colour matter ? Aren't we taught to look beyond colour and race ? " I think it’s interesting that it’s loads of white people discussing if the black guy is racist for saying his experience in life may be different to yours…. I absolutely get where Lewis is coming from… I lived in Atlanta in a predominantly white neighbourhood, then moved to New York lived in a predominantly white neighbourhood and went to an almost all white school, then went to London, lived in a mainly white area, went to a mainly white school… then went to university where most people were white… So yeah, I get that Lewis may feel different because he may have been treated differently, consciously or unconsciously….. Where you would like to think we are all treated the same, the truth is that we are not… how many times have people crossed the road when they see you walking? How many times have you been stopped and searched? There is a difference between platitudes and the real world… I wish people would actually listen rather than paying lip service! I lay this challenge out to ANYONE in this thread… if you really want the conversation I am happy to have it… but you are going to hear some really uncomfortable home truths… So… anyone???? | |||

I'm not going to challenge. However I found lonely an unusual adjective here. Can you empathise with that ? My initial reaction was he does feel lonely (it's lonely the top of a heitachy) and I can imagine feeling something when he notes noone looks like him. That said, I can half get it. I've worked in Asia and it can feel lonely when everyone is speaking a different language. That wasn't skin tone but something akin to it I guess. | |||

That’s poor form. Not ALL F1 drivers live in Monaco and never have. Some do for sure. I admire him for his achievements as a sports person. But as I have said, he often comes across in interviews etc as a bit of a dick. Doesn’t make him unique in that regard, quite a lot of F1 drivers come across as dicks too. You appear to be wanting to start an argument! Why? | |||

That’s your prerogative. I find it a bit distasteful when probably 99% of the people he works with at Mercedes Racing live, work and pay all their taxes in the UK. He could have chosen anywhere on the French riviera and paid French tax but clearly chose Monaco to reduce his tax payments. However, not really in the same league as Mrs Sunak and her so called (bought) non-dom status as Hamilton most likely does spend most of his time outside the UK (it used to be 90% as a requirement I believe but perhaps not now) so at least there is legitimacy. | |||

"Lewis Hamilton is an amazing sportsman. Fact! He does come across sometimes as a bit of a dick. Opinion (mine)! He is a tax exile living in Monaco (I think) so puts me off too! Couldn’t care less what colour his skin is, for me all the above statements are true! All the f1 drivers live in Monaco.. so you must hate them all… right? I didn’t use the word “hate” you did. That’s poor form. Not ALL F1 drivers live in Monaco and never have. Some do for sure. I admire him for his achievements as a sports person. But as I have said, he often comes across in interviews etc as a bit of a dick. Doesn’t make him unique in that regard, quite a lot of F1 drivers come across as dicks too. You appear to be wanting to start an argument! Why?" You say you don’t like f1 drivers living in tax haven.. so let’s this conversation say Monaco or Switzerland… Both current Mercedes drivers, both current Ferrari drivers, both current red bull drivers, both current mclaren drivers, both alpine drivers, plus bottas, and vettal, and albon, plus mick Schumacher, That must be a whole lot of disgust you must have…. | |||

" I would like to point out a glaring error. It is Sir Lewis Hamilton, not Lewis
That depends on whether one gives a toss about knighthoods or values any such bauble.
Many of the recipients, particularly politicians, are trash people"The fact is he is Sir Lewis Hamilton, and I have a respect for the guy. He is true to himself, he lives a clean lifestyle and is a brilliant racing driver. I would call him a role model fro today. | |||

"Why are people who are pro Tory and who think brexit is a good idea. All of a sudden against this one chap potentially paying tax somewhere else. This forum is fucking weird!You could also ask why are labour supporters are so for the guy who is potentially paying tax somewhere else. "Why? Labour aren't on government avoiding tax and keeping tax loopholes open. | |||

"Why do people keep saying he lives in Monaco. 1 I couldn’t give a monkeys where he pays his taxes and 2 why does that concern anyone else It’s great this doesn’t bother you. That’s your prerogative. I find it a bit distasteful when probably 99% of the people he works with at Mercedes Racing live, work and pay all their taxes in the UK. He could have chosen anywhere on the French riviera and paid French tax but clearly chose Monaco to reduce his tax payments. However, not really in the same league as Mrs Sunak and her so called (bought) non-dom status as Hamilton most likely does spend most of his time outside the UK (it used to be 90% as a requirement I believe but perhaps not now) so at least there is legitimacy. Silly, he earns a lot of money. It’s the smart thing for him to do to try and keep as much of it as possible. I’d do the same in his position as would a majority of others and don’t blame others for doing so. I think people are just on a bandwagon of hate to be honest " There you go then. Not a bandwagon just a moral question. Yours are clear thanks. | |||

Basically people who are in a position, or have committed acts, to seriously negatively impact on the lives of others. Not sure a sports person falls into that category! They entertain millions and help to create employment but beyond that...? Hamilton is very talented and it is brilliant that a British sportsman is the best in the world at something (doesn’t happen often). As someone said above, it is good to see him use his platform to promote issues that matter to him. But to me, and in my opinion, he comes across as a bit of a dick.

White history month?? Come on mate. No-one is even close to that nonsense. All I'm saying is if the shoe was on the other foot people would be screaming racist. Take Anthony Joshua for example. During BML riots. He stayed that Black people should only shop in stores owned by black people. To me this has massive racist connotations. Yet not a peep from MSM. Same with LH. Choosing a product purely because of the skin colour of the person who made it has racist connotations. The problem is. People don't like to point out that all colours can be racist. It's not only a trait of white people. | |||

"This post has got out of hand and should be stopped. There are a lot of racist comments being thrown at people who have commented, regardless of whether they are black/coloured or white. Just because one doesn't agree with them does not mean that they should make assumptions about the person who has previously commented. Remember that EVERYONE is entitled to their opinion regardless of whether others agree or not and they are allowed by the laws of free speech in this country to voice that opinion. There are also laws governing hate speech which are designed to protect anyone regardless of colour or creed. It doesn't matter if someone is racist or not, a persons own integrity should put them above that level Also regarding Lewis Hamilton (which seemed to spark the mud slinging) he has made some very inflammatory remarks in the past so that is a mark against him.

Aren't we taught to look beyond colour and race ? I think it’s interesting that it’s loads of white people discussing if the black guy is racist for saying his experience in life may be different to yours…. I absolutely get where Lewis is coming from… I lived in Atlanta in a predominantly white neighbourhood, then moved to New York lived in a predominantly white neighbourhood and went to an almost all white school, then went to London, lived in a mainly white area, went to a mainly white school… then went to university where most people were white… So yeah, I get that Lewis may feel different because he may have been treated differently, consciously or unconsciously….. Where you would like to think we are all treated the same, the truth is that we are not… how many times have people crossed the road when they see you walking?

I've worked in Asia and it can feel lonely when everyone is speaking a different language. That wasn't skin tone but something akin to it I guess. Can I empathise… yep… your experience in life is going to be different because outside of your small group people aren’t going to always understand what you may go through… Sometimes it’s just nice to talk with someone who may be going through the same thing.. you talk about people speaking the same language , whatever connects you to other people " Connection is key & people all over the world do it.

"While I wholeheartedly agree it is more preferable and interesting for communities to mix. For a variety of reasons that isn't always possible. Be it language barrier or a hostile community etc. I grew up in a area of Glasgow predominantly white. Where racial abuse and violence was rife. My parents as soon possible moved to a "more of their own" area. While in the last 30 years Glasgow has become more diverse and cosmopolitan, there will be towns and cities across the UK where it still happen. | |||

It's nothing to do with making friends, but feeling surrounded by "your tribe" (or not) I can't fully empathise with colour being a cause for feeling lonely, but maybe that's because I've spent 99pc of my life being in groups dominated by people of my colour. But I can fully understand culture and class. Drop a white working class kid in a room full of Etonians and they may feel lonely. If you have ever been at a meal where everyone else is speaking a foreign language and you may feel lonely. (This may be my own spin as due to my experiences, where I have been aware of class etc. I can see someone aware of race feeling similar). (I also wonder if lonely is the word he is looking for, given connotations of friends. Maybe isolated, or an outsider or an imposter) | |||

"Usually the same people who moan about benefits and rely on the NHS to survive. Ironically if it wasn't for immigration the NHS would be in a far worse state than it is now giving most of our docs and top surgeons are immigrants | |||

"Shit, did I just stumble into the Daily Mail Comments section or what? Well, 90% of fab are Daily Mail readers Hold on! I am not convinced 90% of Fab can read?
But 90% of Fab sneer at people that read the Daily Mail.

"Shit, did I just stumble into the Daily Mail Comments section or what? Well, 90% of fab are Daily Mail readers" 90% seems a bit high. Maybe 70%? As for Sir Lewis, it seems highly unlikely he's a racist. Far less likely than it turning out that Priti Patel is. | |||

"An arrogant racist yes.. Are you reflecting on your actions in saying that?
He supports BLM(racist organisation) he’s a hypocrite (drives on a track in Qatar built by cheap labour), tells people to look after the planet whilst using a private jet to get to races, drives an F1 car which is not environmentally friendly of course, endless list of BS and virtue signalling from this racists mouth… of course Hollywood and certain other sports stars are just like this prick but it’s about Lewis this particular thread.
Oh honestly….enough of the white working class victim BS. You know full well that anyone travelling around the world for F1 is going to have to fly, etc it’s a contractural condition to be there on time and ready to race. Is it because he is black that you say these things? As far as I know his dad scrimped and saved to get him going at a young age in the karting world and his talent and hid dad’s tenacious nature got him to where he is today and if he feels his diffference to everyone else around him in F1 then he’s entitled to express that. Oh and he was world champion 7 times so he must be pretty bright and good at his job!
Your wasting your time with this one mate , here is what we know about them
They hate immigrants
They hate BLM
They hate Lewis Hamilton
They hate Raheem sterling
They hate Anthony Joshua
They hate the woke
They voted for Brexit
They vote for the Tories
They are always angry and confused
You don’t know shit about us…sterling is an amazing footballer and person, Joshua is a cock yes, will give you that.. fuck the tories and champagne socialists liebour, mr did vote brexit Mrs did not..anyone who supports KKK or BLM are racist scum. Both racist organisations! We have black friends who agree Lewis is a Cxxt.. bush was the worst president of the USA, white guy!! Obumma a close 2nd but not because of his colour, because he was fuckin useless along with white wench Clinton.. get you facts straight numpty before you claim you know people ..
PMSL, why did you assume I was talking about you? I do like the ‘we have black friends ‘ line, why are you so angry ? "They always are buddy; they always are. | |||

"Sir Lewis Hamilton wants to see more black people in F1, after all he is the only black F1 driver to race in the history of the sport. His call for more black people in F1 goes deeper than drivers, he wants to see black people working in the teams too. He commissioned a report to understand the issues in more detail. He has now set up a charitable foundation called mission 44 and has pledged £20 million to support underrepresented groups through engineering, apprenticeships and many other things that he hopes will encourage more people from underrepresented groups to enter the world of F1. What is wrong with that? you might not like his confidence, which is very often regarded as arrogance by some... You might not like his style of driving, or team but getting heated under the collar because he wants to encourage people into his work place says more about you than him. " Arrogant bastard ..spending his own hard earned money on a worthy cause. Honestly, what’s wrong with him?! And what’s wrong with you for not calling out this disgraceful behaviour?! By the logic of many, you must be racist. | |||

"Genuine question He talks about the fact that he feels lonely in F1 "being the only person of colour in the room " If there are people in a room should skin colour matter ? Aren't we taught to look beyond colour and race ? I think it’s interesting that it’s loads of white people discussing if the black guy is racist for saying his experience in life may be different to yours…. I absolutely get where Lewis is coming from… I lived in Atlanta in a predominantly white neighbourhood, then moved to New York lived in a predominantly white neighbourhood and went to an almost all white school, then went to London, lived in a mainly white area, went to a mainly white school… then went to university where most people were white… So yeah, I get that Lewis may feel different because he may have been treated differently, consciously or unconsciously….. Where you would like to think we are all treated the same, the truth is that we are not… how many times have people crossed the road when they see you walking? How many times have you been stopped and searched? There is a difference between platitudes and the real world… I wish people would actually listen rather than paying lip service! I lay this challenge out to ANYONE in this thread… if you really want the conversation I am happy to have it… but you are going to hear some really uncomfortable home truths… So… anyone????" This! | |||

The good news is, I doubt any fucks are given by Sir Lewis about what some dude on a swinging forum thinks. | |||

It's true to say that we only get a very tiny snapshot into the guy's personality and mindset - and the snapshot is also framed by reporting. So, for example, I remember some outrage or another in the Mirror about an opinion Prince Harry had voiced. The outrage was based on the fact that he had dared to have an opinion on the subject. However, no one would have known the opinion if he hadn't been asked the question by the Mirror reporter. The point being a lot of these celebs would probably be quite happy to keep their lives much more private than they are able to. It's that the media go fishing. | |||

"Genuine question He talks about the fact that he feels lonely in F1 "being the only person of colour in the room " If there are people in a room should skin colour matter ? Aren't we taught to look beyond colour and race ? " No. What has he said that is prejudiced against people of a different ethnicity? Is it wrong to recognise difference or is it wrong to denigrate someone for their difference? If you feel excluded for your difference then you will feel lonely. That is based on your experience. No different to being the only woman or the only person with a disability or the only person from a particular social background in the room. | |||
