Fucking media. Sigh.
Ya there is no way F1 would want to open that can of worms. Its just asking for massive backlash.
This is all nonsense. Do you think Hamilton would wear a shirt at the Chinese GP condemning China's concentration camps?
Or what about the outright racism against black people that seems to be perfectly acceptable in China? Hamilton seems pretty willing to accept that paycheck.

No investigation. There will be clarifications to pre and post race attire though.

Kind of sad news hopefully it's not a Brawn GP exercise...
I wonder if they're making the move to Formula E.
Sad news as a Honda and RBR fan, can't see Max sticking around even before this so probably a final nail in the coffin as I don't see them strongly competing against MB next year.
Danny Ric must be super happy more so with how things have played out since he left RBR.
I can see Max heading off to Mercedes at some point, maybe they'll buy out Bottas' contract or osmething
Max has an exit clause if Honda leaves so he can sign elsewhere for 2022. Bottas contract ends in 2021. It lines up.Quote:

Do you think Lewis will welcome him to Merc? May be He will go to Aston or MclarenQuote:

the concorde agreement states that the engine with the least number of suppliers must step up and provide. And with Mercedes, RP/Aston Martin, McLaren having Merc; Renault having Renault; Ferrari having Haas, Alfa, and Ferrari, Renault MUST provide engines to RBR and AT.
Yes, unless RBR can convince Merc to sell them engines as well. If they can't, then either entice another manufacturer back to the table, or back to Renault.Quote:

Max to Mercedes is a no brainer for 2022, regardless of what Lewis does. Would love to see 3 years of them fighting it out, so no one could claim it was a fluke. Gloves off, lets go.
