The controversy seems to be flaring up, should their logos be removed from F1 drivers & cars ?

No, why would they be, an owner of a company has expressed his personal views.

Far too early to say, but there is likely to be some fall out from his comments. Ultimately the race team will decide whether what’s been said is a step too far for them and their other sponsors, or whether it’s a storm in a teacup. In the short term Radcliffe has done himself no favours IMO.

Whilst I find Ratcliffe to be an odious individual, then no, of course not.

He is 1/3rd owner of the Mercedes F1 team. Nothing is going to change.

Hilarious, he was asked a question, and answered the same way basically 13 million voted a few years ago, and he needs to apologise. Jesus wept.

How about you apologise 2 tier for geing a useless, feckless cretin.

Don't insult so many Brits by equating them with him.

His comments were utterly stupid, rooted in basic racism and on top, the figures he used were absolute and total rubbish. His miserable excuse for an "apology" was nothing of the sort either.

Given that he's a tax exile scumbag (saving himself £4bn in the process that would have been very useful given how skint the country is) who is now giving out about our country, then frankly, he can get in the sea.

I know plenty who have worked directly with him in the recent past, particularly at Athena racing and the Team GBR Americas Cup project. None have a good word to say about the man.

That still doesn't mean the Ineos brand needs to be removed, but he's hardly doing a good marketing job for it right now.

I was about to reply, but this saves me the effort. 100% agree. Well said.

The UK spends £4bn every nine days just servicing its debt. That is money literally wasted.

AFAIC Ratcliffe is doing the right thing avoiding his hard-earned disappearing into that pointless black hole.

The country is skint because of successive governments' profligacy, not because of businesses refusing to service the fallout of that profligacy.

I think hes a pretty unpleasant bloke and a total hypocrite, but DP World on the McLaren is surely first in the queue to get deleted if F1 is having a moral clean up.

This is a post that is so far beyond help, it isn't worth engaging with.
