As read by ORF on the broadcast right now, McLaren PR has reached out to media with a statement that they did not invite Donald Trump into their garage.
Trump came for an unannounced visit shortly before the start of the Miami GP.
McLaren PR put out some BS about ‘respecting the office’. That cunt didn’t respect his own office, nor those he swore to serve. He has publicly said and done undeniably reprehensible things. I’m fucking sick of the type of people who feel they’re too polite to be political and then are ‘dismayed’ by the direction society is headed in.
Zak, if you wanna degrade yourself, do it away from one of Britain’s most venerated sporting institutions, for fuck’s sake.

In this case you’re talking about an international sports event and the team is not american. Why do you expect them to take a strong stand against a former US president?
Because he is a fascist and I expect everyone to take a strong stand against fascists
he is a fascist
How?
Ok, how about sex offender?
You need to be convicted of a sex crime to be a sex offender. Otherwise Biden is a child molester.

That’s a civil case not a criminal. There are significant differences in civil cases being awarded vs criminal convictions. A majority believing something happened vs every juror believing something happened beyond a reasonable doubt.
Not being American doesn’t mean you have to be passive about Trump.
I’m not Russian but I still fucking hate Putin and would be happy to take a stand against him.
i’m sure you’d do that individually, but not in an official capacity. This comparison is very funny, F1 used to race in Sochi and Putin himself handed over the trophies. This only stopped when international sanctions were placed on Rusia. There are none on Trump so no, an F1 team cannot cause an international incident by itself. Stop pretending you don’t understand this
I’m sure you’d do that individually, but not in an official capacity.
I’d do that in either capacity. I’ve told far nicer people than Putin to fuck off as part of work, sometimes against the wishes of my superiors.
This comparison is very funny, F1 used to race in Sochi and Putin himself handed over the trophies.
What’s the relevance? I wasn’t fine with it then. And neither were some in F1, Lewis, for example, refused to shake his hand and was cold with him in Sochi after the 2014 invasion of Crimea.
This only stopped when international sanctions were placed on Rusia.
You don’t need to tell me that the FIA is corrupt and loves dictators. I know that already.
then why are you here?
What a fucking ludicrous question. Jesus Christ.
I like the Olympics as an event, despite the corruption of the Olympic committee and presence of awful dictatorships.
People like football despite FIFA being corrupt as fuck, taking bribes from dictatorships, and being ok with literal slavery.
And yes, I like F1 despite the FIA being just as corrupt.
If you’re trying to phrase this as hypocrisy, it isn’t. It’s possible to like something while also disliking an aspect of it.
Maybe you believe that in order to like F1 you must like the FIA/everything they do, as well as any dictator they pander to, but I think you’d be in the minority with that take.
you are taking a hypocritical position though. As per your claims, you’re well aware of FIA and Liberty Media’ corruption and money grabbing schemes, but somehow you draw the line at a perfectly innocent event in which McLaren has landed. This is hypocritical
DJT is a cunt and those who don’t see it are also cunts. It’s just science.
Man, a lot of “F1 fans” are mad about Trump being in McLaren’s garage. McLaren didn’t invited him in the first place. He was invited by an third party.
EDIT: I find it funny. How peoples brains stop working when they see Trump or hear his name. Like all they see is red. Then they say and do something crazy. I just find all funny and odd.
Idk i wouldnt be happy if Osama Bin Laden visited my garage without permission.
Fucking dbag trump told Norris he was his lucky charm in getting that win…Norris is handling it professionally but I would be steaming if a no talent failing upward insulated by daddies money hack tried taking credit for something I’d put my entire life’s work into achieving…
Idk why this criminal is allowed to go anywhere really. He’s still showing up to public venues as if he isn’t a terrible person that has negatively affected all of our lives. Still mingling with people and taking pictures while smiling like he didn’t commit a litany of felonies and wasn’t the worst president in existence.
If I was him, I’d hide in a hole for the rest of my life but unlike him I actually feel ashamed for doing misdeeds.
All that means is that toxic money is hitting Mclarens pockets, not a good look.
Unfortunately not a new pattern in auto racing - tobacco and later crypto sponsorship out in the open. Sketchy shit, and every “attempt” to ban harmful advertising has loopholes that completely circumvents the initiative. See: Mission Winnow (Marlboro) and whatever Sauber’s title sponsor even is.
First off, who cares, second, this is not exclusive to motorsport. All major American sports have teams sponsored by crypto exchanges.
If you don’t care then why are you clogging up the comments by pretending to be the smartest person in the thread
They still allowed him in to their pits and smiled, so fuck McLaren now.
I hate the fact that this happened on the day of Lando’s first victory. Fuck the fascist putschist.
