Good on you, Charles. I want a list of drivers that didn't kneel so that I can become a fan of theirs. I already like Max Verstappen and I'm pretty sure he didn't kneel either. The little fag, Louise Hamilton still thinks there is systemic racism. Too bad he won on Sunday with a flat tire. I wish Max didn't pit. They thought Little Louise would. Big mistake.
Then watch IndyCar, none kneel and it’s a sport for and by American bad asses
Gonna haz to look it up. I was a fan back in the turbo era with Bobby Rahal, Al air., Paul Tracy, etc. Haven’t watched in a long time. I see Penske bought Indianapolis Raceway!
Yes, and Paul Tracy is now an excellent and key race broadcaster
But they also welcome drivers from around the world, provided they have the skill. I've never heard of IndyCar drivers, staff or fans insulting people solely because of nationality, the way F1 people do with Americans.
IndyCar races also almost always start with a prayer, a singing of our National Anthem (hats off, hands over hearts, no kneeling) and a flyover of military aircraft.
IndyCar is also good racing. Yes there are top teams and top drivers. But you can never really say for sure who will win on any given Sunday. You rarely get high-speed parades in IndyCar, like you do with some other series.
Yes, IndyCar welcomes drivers from anywhere. That’s one of the things that makes it awesome. Anyone that has the balls, skill (and usually money) can compete. But that’s not to take away from the fact that it’s an American series born in Indiana
Raikkonen, Verstappen, LeClerc, Kvyat, Sainz, Giovannazi (or however you spell his name). Magnussen did previously, but did not this past week.
I suspect Italian culture frowned upon taking the knee, which is why the drivers for the Italian teams did not do it. Except Vettel, but he is out at Ferrari anyways. But note that incoming Sainz did not kneel, even though Norris did. Hmm.
And not many people would expect Raikkonen to kneel anyways, lol. It's great to see him standing there, arms behind his back. I do not know what his politics are, I do not know what he is thinking, and I do not care.
If you are not already a Raikkonen fan, I suspect you soon will be. Welcome!
Raikonnen does not GAF, lol. Iceman is awesome.
Wally Dallenbach lives down the mountain from me, just finished his book, a Class act . . .
