I have a feeling that if Vettel had said something about being able to race for longer because he was white there would be an uproar because of how racist it is...

This could turn into one of those threads....
I have to agree with you though.

I was wondering how long it would take the usual suspects to post this. Strange that some people feel the need to go out of your way to post anything and everything that Lewis says?

It's an article on an F1 WDC in a motorsport forum, where's the strangeness...?

Its an off-the-cuff, light hearted reference to a very old saying about the way black people age, that predictably has been made the centre piece for the story and the main headline. Absolutely no worse than someone (in fact not as bad as) saying "where there is a shark, there is a Finn", in reference to the way Finnish drivers are stereotyped for conducting themselves.

A bit of naivety on Lewis' part, a lot of stupidity on the media's part, barely worth a mention on PH but Im sure the opposite will occur thanks to people who arent level-headed enough to see past a deliberately selected contraversial headline.

Nothing thread.

“I could be here even longer than Michael"

"insists that he has not targeted overhauling Schumacher’s record of seven world crowns"

I'd not heard that phase ( black/crack whatever as guess not an old fart ) and yes interesting he want's to stay some years, so NO not a nothing thread..

Controversial you mean?

Then why wasnt your thread entitled "Hammo reckons he will be in the sport longer than Schuey"?

Will there be a thread on all Hamilton's media interaction? Is a young F1 driver's enthusiasm and ambition to remain in the sport as long as its most successful driver, that note-worthy? I would have expected Vettel to say something pretty similar. I look forwared to that thread.

Phrase, you mean?

So interesting, we're picking on each other's spelling.

Well, I guess if he's still racing F1 cars in 20 years, then he's right.....

While we are bashing the social stereotypes and the thread has gone off tangentially.

"White me can't jump"....
















But "Black men can't swim". Roll on the olympics hehe
