Knowing where the signaling stations are and obeying the signals they
display is the driver's responsibility.

Karun Chandok covered that topic; he analyzed the in-car video showing that the two warning signs for the pits were visible, though easy to miss if you're not looking for them. Nevertheless, it was HAM's and GIO's responsibility to see them.

Lewis' closest competitor was more than 10 seconds behind him.
He was called into the pits, and the team apologized to Lewis
for their mistake, nevertheless he has accepted responsibility.

What PRECISELY did he say?

Because I guarantee it wasn't about the position of the signals...

...which were at the standard marshaling positions...

...which every driver knows he has to check every time.

Checking each marshaling station you pass is an essential part of your
job as a racing driver. It's fundamental. Something you learn from
literally the first moment you take a lap in a racing car.

Don't be ridiculous man, I treat everyone the same although I know that
precisely that is labeled as racist nowadays. Louise (good name for that
drama queen) himself started calling people ignorant for saying that
some blacks are more racist than whites.
Louise himself started whining about his color and how disadvantaged he
was because of it.
He himself dresses in the clothes of a violent rioting movement.
Speaking of ignorance!
You know what, I don’t even blame him entirely for his extreme
ignorance, I can understand he didn’t notice much of the real world in
the very privileged bubble where he grew up.
I do however think he is a ignorant hypocrite and that is entirely due
to his behavior, I don’t care if he is red yellow black white or purple.

Edmund,

I keep out of these discussions as a rule. I won't stay silent on this,
though.

It is not possible to raise a racial epithet - particularly one that is
particularly charged - in response to an open debate and then saying
there is no racial meaning...which is what you've done.

Similarly, if people cannot call out such a situation without being
accused of labelling "everything" as racist, then nothing is racist.
That's simply untenable.

It's possible to accidentally use the wrong language, but the right
response is to back down and apologise. It's possible to (accidentally)
use racist language without being a racist...but to insist on using it
pretty much defines being a racist.

Personally, I would suggest retracting your comments and apologising, or
I think people are entitled to draw the obvious inference.

It's entirely up to you, however.

anything at all in my entire life where I treated someone different

He is so incredibly privileged his entire life but doesn’t have the
faintest idea about it nor what is going on in the real world outside
his multi million dollar bubble.

He is calling people ignorant for saying very obvious things, claiming
and whining how
disadvantaged he is because of his skin color as if he is rescued from a
cotton field, he’s calling NORMAL people out for eating meat, how
delusional can a person be?
He alone has a carbon footprint of whole continent and is telling us to
stop eating meat to save the world!? Still I may not respond to this
kind of stupidity because that will make me a racist? Yeah right!
People riding the high horse and telling they don’t respond to bigots
racists or whatever are actually saying they have absolutely NOTHING to
say or debunk and therefore avoid speaking about the actual content by
disqualifying others.

So, try to find some kind of argument or something to debunk anything I

a racist, don’t bother.

That is your opinion sir and I do not agree.
On which bit do you not agree?

That it's not racial? It's related to race, so I can't imagine you
disagree with that.

That it's a particularly charged epithet? I think that there is plenty
of objective evidence that this is a sensitive term to use given its
connection in the anglophone world (and we are using English, after all)
to the United States and its undeniable race issue over many years.

That you raised it? Clearly you did.

That you denied it was racial? I'm going to assume you won't claim you
haven't rejected it as racial.

So, I'm going to *guess* you're claiming it's possible to do all of the
first few things and yet the denial was valid.

If you want anyone to take you seriously on this, you have to more than
deny it. You have to explain your thinking and rebut or (if you can)
refute it.

Incidentally, the "Louise" thing is just juvenile. Seriously, cut it
out.

How did he? I seem to remember a number of occasions (and I'm sure
there are more) from his very start in F1 when race was raised against
him not vice versa.

About an “open debate”, there is nothing open about to try shutting up
people by labeling them as racists and consider the matter closed.
Who is trying to close down an open debate?

I have suggested that you clarify your use of what I (strongly) believe
to be racially-motivated language and consider apologising for it.

At no point did I try to close down the debate.

I *do* now consider that (given this response) you are confirming that
you are racist.

That doesn't stop the debate. On the contrary, if I were you I'd think
about that and continue the debate in order to clarify your position.
Or, as I said in my last post, people will be entitled to draw their own
conclusions. I know that I have.

Would you use the same words to (say) Kimi Raikkonen as the ones that
have triggered this debate?

If not, you have treated Lewis Hamilton differently because of the
colour of his skin, have you not?
Post by Edmund
The things Louise said are so utterly absurd I have no words for it.
And yet you have put a *lot* of words out, but they are ad hominem
(and, I would say racist) attacks rather than addressing what you view
to be the absurdity of his argument.

What do you object to in his words?

If you explain that, there can be a reasonable debate which might come
to a reasonable outcome.

Calling him (offensive) names creates great heat and no light.
Post by Edmund
He is so incredibly privileged his entire life but doesn’t have the

He certainly hasn't been privileged his *entire* life, but certainly he
has become very privileged. Much as I'm not a fan of people famous for
one area using their platform unduly, he has a right to express his
political opinion on this and other things. If he gets it wrong,
address his opinion not his skin colour or his perceived race.

eating meat, how delusional can a person be?
Lots of people campaign against meat eating, either entirely or in terms
of volume.

I don't see you campaigning against PETA.

I also don't see the connection between this and blatant attacks against
him personally.
Post by Edmund

No.

It's really easy to quote his views and explain why you think they're
batshit crazy. Pick them apart line by line, provide context and
explain why you believe he's wrong.

None of it requires calling him what you called him.

It is *that* which will make you a racist, not disagreeing with him.

See the difference?

Well, I'm not one of them. I have been very clear on the matter, and I
*am* explaining my position.

I'm struggling to see what your argument is because you have just
insulted the person (ad hominem) rather than going to the point (ad
rem).

Just focus on _what_ you don't agree with and avoid just attacking _who_
you don't agree with

It’s equally possible you are a little oversensitive to the word negro,

If I am speaking Spanish (which I do), I have no problem with the word
as it simply means "black" and has no racial overtones that I am aware
of, at least in the way in which I employ it. (Of course, I am not a
native Spanish speaker, so if I am wrong I am happy to be corrected at
which stage I would apologise).

If I am speaking English, I will not use the word. It has significant
racial overtones, and it's inappropriate.

I have a simple "rule of thumb": I do not use a word to describe someone
that I have good reason to believe they will find offensive *unless* I
am trying to offend them...and even then, I would choose my word
carefully and proportionately, and have to live with the consequences of
insulting the person to that level.

There are few situations where you can go wrong with that principle in
my experience, and conversely going against that principle will get you
into trouble.

I have good reason to believe that black people will find that word
offensive, so I will not use it. I don't think that makes me
oversensitive.

I think that makes me: _respectful_.

Personally, I would suggest retracting your comments and apologising, or
I think people are entitled to draw the obvious inference.
It's entirely up to you, however.
At least you’ve got that part right!
I think I have a lot more than that right.

Feel free to address my arguments above if you believe I'm wrong.

Remember: address the argument not the individual.

Knowing where the signaling stations are and obeying the signals
they display is the driver's responsibility.
Karun Chandok covered that topic; he analyzed the in-car video
showing that the two warning signs for the pits were visible, though
easy to miss if you're not looking for them.
Even Jenson Button admitted he had never seen anything like it.
Post by Dan the Man
Nevertheless, it was HAM's and GIO's responsibility to see them.
Dan
Lewis' closest competitor was more than 10 seconds behind him. He was
called into the pits, and the team apologized to Lewis
Yup, just like the team apologized to the ignorant negro after they
told him repeatedly to stay out....
Whining whining whining he wanted to come in, they team obeyed ... he
lost and the team again apologized for obeying him, how funny that was :-)
Edmund
So you, despicable little man, finally admit what most of us have long
suspected i.e. that your hatred of Hamilton is based on the colour of
his skin.
Don't be ridiculous man, I treat everyone the same although I know that
precisely that is labeled as racist nowadays. Louise (good name for that
drama queen) himself started calling people ignorant for saying that
some blacks are more racist than whites.
Louise himself started whining about his color and how disadvantaged he
was because of it.
He himself dresses in the clothes of a violent rioting movement.
Speaking of ignorance!
You know what, I don’t even blame him entirely for his extreme
ignorance, I can understand he didn’t notice much of the real world in
the very privileged bubble where he grew up.
I do however think he is a ignorant hypocrite and that is entirely due
to his behavior, I don’t care if he is red yellow black white or purple.
Edmund
"ignorant Negro"
A pure bigoted mark with clearly intended racist overtones
Appeal dismissed, Guilty as charged
You simply don't get it do you, and for your information, I couldn't
care less about
the opinion of ignorant people who bluntly label everything as racists.
No one here is labeling "everything as racists"...

...we're labeling the racist a racist, racist.

Not particularly, I'm not too keen on name calling for anyone. But
for me, that was not the key part of the comment, it wasn't
significant.

However, running to the stewards on Sunday was a bit cry baby.

Drivers are able to discuss penalties with the stewards whenever
they wish, and the stewards welcome visits from the drivers. This
was unusual in that it was mid-race and TV viewers were able to
see that Hamilton paid them a visit. I doubt that such a visit had
been seen live before, but that doesn't mean it was unique.

Bear in mind that he apparently was unaware that there were two
status boards on the outside of Parabolica. He wasn't alone in
that, much of the paddock were unsure as well - even though it
is in the Notes and it is mentioned at the Drivers Briefing. I
imagine most drivers don't 'read the small print' or listen to
the briefing which, of necessity, repeats most of the information
that was dealt with at all of the previous events.

Do we know for certain that Giovinazzi didn't do the same thing?

Why does no one moan about GIO missing the LED screens too?

I'm certain that I've seen it before during red flagged periods. It
makes sense to get evidence early to avoid lengthy appeals ("but if we
had known that, we could have taken a different view") later.

While I think it's a little unfortunate for Hamilton, I think that they
had no choice but to apply it, and the fact that they heard from him at
that stage makes it a more satisfactory situation.

Both very interesting. The big question hanging is why it is taking
teams so long. My understanding is that the information was sent around
quite fast, but that the way it's transmitted isn't necessarily picked
up immediately; based on comments during the race, it was suggested that
an electronic alert appears somewhere other than on the pit wall and the
lag was to do with alerting the pit wall. I would like to know if
that's true and, if so, what teams can do to avoid this for the future.

Toto said the pit lane in red showed up "on the fourth screen" which shows track status and that by

call had been made and Hamilton was in pit entry.

They can't watch all of the FIA screens all of the time with the few crew they have on the pit
wall. Maybe it should have been on 'the first screen'?

I wonder how programmable the screens that display the official

then customize?

Well, that is pretty dumb of the FIA.
Something as important as pit lane closure should appear on all screens.
Together with the inconsistent red and yellow on the dismal signs.

Mercedes have said that they have programmed alerts on their screens

The onus is on the team to notice things like that in the same way as
saying "I wasn't watching the speedo" won't get you off a speeding charge.

That was in the same interview where he said about the fourth screen. You can bet they're
programming in an alert for it now, it's just a shame that it cost them so much. It's also a shame
that the FIA don't perhaps have audible alerts that go out to the teams for things like this rather
than put it on the fourth screen. In a sport where hundredths of a second count it's a no brainer
really.

No shit? I haven't tried that, thanks.

Seriously though, at a time when the FIA are trying to cut costs for teams and when there's so much
data to keep abreast of you can hardly expect a team to pay someone to sit on the pit wall glued
to each of the screens of information they're making available to the team.

As it is Mercedes (and likely other teams) have had to programme alert systems to tell them about
changes of track status. Surely the FIA can come up with a simple and user-friendly way to do this
themselves for all teams so they're then not having to employ even more people to make the system work?

They can't watch all of the FIA screens all of the time with the few
crew they have on the pit wall. Maybe it should have been on 'the
first screen'?
Mercedes have said that they have programmed alerts on their screens
triggered by various similar events (yellow or red flags, safety car
etc) but they missed that one.
That was in the same interview where he said about the fourth screen.
You can bet they're programming in an alert for it now, it's just a
shame that it cost them so much. It's also a shame that the FIA don't
perhaps have audible alerts that go out to the teams for things like
this rather than put it on the fourth screen. In a sport where
hundredths of a second count it's a no brainer really.

The onus is on the team to notice things like that in the same way as
saying "I wasn't watching the speedo" won't get you off a speeding charge.
No shit? I haven't tried that, thanks.
Seriously though, at a time when the FIA are trying to cut costs for
teams and when there's so much data to keep abreast of you can hardly
expect a team to pay someone to sit on the  pit wall glued to each of
the screens of information they're making available to the team.
As it is Mercedes (and likely other teams) have had to programme alert
systems to tell them about changes of track status. Surely the FIA can
come up with a simple and user-friendly way to do this themselves for
all teams so they're then not having to employ even more people to make
the system work?
There's already a very reliable system that is mandatory in every car:

The driver is required to see, recognize and obey the signals displayed
at the marshaling posts.

Toto said the pit lane in red showed up "on the fourth screen" which
shows track status and that by the time it was noticed (by a team
member in the UK who frantically contacted the pit wall) the call had
been made and Hamilton was in pit entry.

It would take probably less than 15 minutes of the apprentice
programmers time to add the alert to the list at a cost of three parts
of 1% of bugger all. Maybe now they will go through the list and see if
they've missed anything else.

The FIA supply the data, you choose what you do with it. The FIA could,
though, mark it better on the track. Maybe a big red sign over the pit
entrance flashing the message "Bugger off".

I do think that much less would have been made of this incident had it
been some driver other than Hamilton.

DISCLAIMER: No I don't hate Hamilton, I think that he is a talented
driver, I just don't think that he is the Second Coming.

Do we know for certain that Giovinazzi didn't do the same thing?
Why does no one moan about GIO missing the LED screens too?
Indeed
especially as they were considerably later than Hamilton so would have
had more notice that the pit lane was closed
(I would have not considered it unreasonable if Hamilton had received a
slightly lesser penalty because to the timing)

ignorant for saying that some blacks are more racist than

clothes of a violent rioting movement. Speaking of ignorance! You
know what, I don‘t even blame him entirely for his extreme
ignorance, I can understand he didn‘t notice much of the real

I do not support BLM because they are marxist, violent and believe in
defunding the police, ending the nuclear family and capitalism. They
also like using intimidation and burning down whole cities. I do not
agree with any of that.

I do support the idea of prevention programmes to help prevent people

Yes, we'll go as a mob and threaten people in restaurants and make
them give the black fist salute with intimidation. Being annoyed at
the police would obviously cause that.

Then we'll go and burn down a city, our city, such a sensible

I've answered this before. The murder of the guy during an arrest was
wrong and the officer should face the full legal consequences. The
guy was a persistent criminal high on drugs. Do I think that is an
excuse to burn cities? Of course not.

There are plenty of black people on both sides of the pond who do not
support BLM. BLM is about left/right politics not protecting black
people. The vast majority of black people who get murdered are
murdered by........ black people not the police.

Maybe, but even if true that doesn't in itself tell you much as I'm
sure you must know.

*If* there is more crime committed by black people and that more
black people resist arrest etc... Your argument is too simplistic.
Basically it's emotional and not rational.

Put it this way, if you wanted to arrest someone in london for
carrying a weapon do you think you would get the same success rate
searching blacks and whites?

Having said that, I do think that if black people in the states are

That's right put words in my mouth and thoughts in my head.

I don't need to do anything because since around 1970 all of the none
white people I have encountered at work and socially are fine and
don't agree with this narrative. I've seen no evidence of any
anti-black action in the UK in 50 years.

I have little knowledge of the real situation in the States I've
never been there but I've seen what BLM has done.

In view of the prevailing lunacy in this group I've now realised this
isn't about the plight of poor black people in the UK at all.

Looks increasingly as though it is people trying to trigger a left
wing revolution because the people in these stupid Western countries
keep voting capitalist.

Basic principal - why start your own company or work hard or develop
something if the the rewards for doing so are then evenly distributed.
Capitalism = unequal distribution of wealth.
Socialism = equal distribution of misery.
Ah, slogans.

How do you feel about a privatized police force?

Fire department?

Armed forces?

I can honestly say I've never given any of those much thought. *With
proper checks and balances in position* do private services have any
advantages. Something tells me that's not what you're driving at.

I do not support BLM because they are marxist, violent and
believe in defunding the police, ending the nuclear family and
capitalism. They also like using intimidation and burning down
whole cities. I do not agree with any of that.
You forgot the smiley. Or do you actually believe that ?
Stated aims and observation of behaviour. Who is burning cities
and threatening people? Seen plenty of it.
You've seen protests get out of hand; at least in part BECAUSE of
the way police have responded.
Yes, we'll go as a mob and threaten people in restaurants and make
them give the black fist salute with intimidation. Being annoyed at
the police would obviously cause that.
Then we'll go and burn down a city, our city, such a sensible
approach.
Have you not seen these violent horrible people looting shops,
punching white people in the face as they just pass in the street?
I will never support BLM and I question the sanity/motives of anyone
who does.

Who ? An incredibly small number of people who may also happen to
support the BLM thing, or purport to.

Equally likely to be far-right anarchists hoping to foment attitudes
like yours, and assist in returning Trump to office. No shortage of
far-right in the USA - pretty much mainstream really.

Don't be ridiculous man, I treat everyone the same although I
know that precisely that is labeled as racist nowadays. Louise
(good name for that drama queen) himself started calling people
ignorant for saying that some blacks are more racist than
whites. Louise himself started whining about his color and how
disadvantaged he was because of it. He himself dresses in the
clothes of a violent rioting movement. Speaking of ignorance! You
know what, I dont even blame him entirely for his extreme
ignorance, I can understand he didnt notice much of the real

Racism is always wrong. I matters not if it's black on white or white
on black both are equally wrong. So called positive discrimination is
also wrong. Setting short list from particular races is evil racism,
there can be no argument.

People should get success on merit and merit alone all else is stupid

Your question seems to suggest I should get all upset by the word
"Negro"? Sorry I thought the problem was the other N word.

How many words do you snowflakes wish to ban?

Having said that, I do question why it was necessary to involve
someone's race just to say you think they're ignorant. You wouldn't
often say someone was a ignorant tall bloke would you.

Of course it is available in the UK. 10 seconds on Google finds :

How can I watch Fox in the UK?
FOX is available for Sky, NOW TV, Virgin Media and TalkTalk customers.
If don't have TV, you can still watch FOX series with an Entertainment
pass from NOW TV.Aug 25, 2020"

I don't have the pleasure unless unknown to me it is available in the
UK.
Bob.
OK fine, I didn't know. I've never looked for it, I'm not interested
in it.

How can I watch Fox in the UK?
FOX is available for Sky, NOW TV, Virgin Media and TalkTalk
customers.
If don't have TV, you can still watch FOX series with an
Entertainment pass from NOW TV.Aug 25, 2020"
Great for a laugh. Well actually would be a laugh if the
ramifications of its drivel being the main source of 'news' that
the USA watches.
Now talking of biased drivel, I used to watch the once respected CNN
and the BBC. Both are now clearly political activists not news feeds.
Give a concrete example of this.

In that response, I know you can't actually think of a concrete example.

If not subscribing to prevailing lunacy of identity politics
stupidity mean I'm right wing then so be it.

Perhaps you believe men can menstruate and that there are more that
two sexes and genders. Go on, please tell me you do so I can laugh at
you.

You know what, I don’t even blame him entirely for his extreme
ignorance, I can understand he didn’t notice much of the real world in
the very privileged bubble where he grew up.
Speaking of ignorance, Lewis was bullied at primary school (and took up
karate to defend himself) and went to a voluntary aided state secondary
school. His parents were divorced and his father sometimes worked up to
three jobs at a time to support his early racing career. Doesn’t sound much
like a “very privileged bubble” to me.

No, anti-social media warriors. Time to stop calling it social media when it is anything but.

Analysis: Mercedes warned Hamilton not to
come into the pits four seconds too late
https://www.racefans.net/2020/09/07/analysis-mercedes-warned-hamilton-not-to-come-into-the-pits-four-seconds-too-late
Knowing where the signaling stations are and obeying the signals they
display is the driver's responsibility.
Karun Chandok covered that topic; he analyzed the in-car video showing
that the two warning signs for the pits were visible, though easy to
miss if you're not looking for them.
Even Jenson Button admitted he had never seen anything like it.
Post by Dan the Man
Nevertheless, it was HAM's and GIO's responsibility to see them.

Lewis' closest competitor was more than 10 seconds behind him.
He was called into the pits, and the team apologized to Lewis
Yup, just like the team apologized to the ignorant negro after they told
him repeatedly to stay out....
Whining whining whining he wanted to come in, they team obeyed ... he
lost and the team again apologized for obeying him, how funny that was :-)
Edmund
So you, despicable little man, finally admit what most of us have long
suspected i.e. that your hatred of Hamilton is based on the colour of his
skin.

Except, as has already been posted, the signals were displayed at the
normal marshaling post for ALL "flags"...

...and drivers are ALWAYS checking those posts for flags/signals.
