Roles reversed and Horner would be arguing for Hamilton to get penalties for cutting across and not leaving room.

Marko is such a troll. Racing incident, wouldn’t have been a penalty years ago. Horner is such a ****, red bull really put me off the sport.
As a white man, I would really really be disappointed with some of the members on here if that were the reason
off topic woohoo 5000th post
To be honest, it was a tongue in cheek joke. Intended to highlight that some people might dislike someone for a reason other than the colour of their skin, which was what I feel you were fishing for with your post.
I dont particularly like Hamilton as a person, though will openly say that he is an extremely good racing driver. I did like Ayrton Senna as a person (and goes without saying that he was an extremely good racing driver). Does that mean I dislike Hamilton because he isnt white, absolutely not. There are many people of colour I like and many caucasian people I like, equally there are many people of colour I dont like and many caucasian people I dont like. I can honestly say that there is no human, male or female that I dont like because of their skin colour. Case in point, I really dislike Diane Abbott because she is an utter idiot but I bet some people out there will say I dont like her because of her skin colour.
TLDR : it is possible to dislike someone for a reason other than their race.
This ^^^^

I would dare say there are very few that feel that way. As @Tombstone said, it is possible for people not to be liked for other reasons that their ethnicity/skin colour. It's frankly pathetic that it's even been dragged up, yet again.
You would think that but you only have to look at the response from some of the brain dead imbeciles last weekend to see that’s not the case.

And yet... and yet... I never see a reason given by any of those constantly disliking LH. He seems genuine, he always gives the credit to his team.
Well I mean...it quite literally IS the case. Unless you are saying that it is not possible to dislike someone for a reason other than their race, which is what your post is saying by saying that it isnt the case.
Obviously there will be some who will have the racist viewpoint, just as there will be some who like chicken but not beef, some who hate football but like rugby and some who like labour and not conservatives. Every facet of any aspect of life is going to have people on all sides of a belief. I just think its wrong it automatically assume that the only reason someone might have a dislike of a certain person is because of their skin colour. I've already shown with my Diane Abbott example that people can dislike someone for a reason beyond that.
There will be many more examples. Everyone knows to give Verstappen space. Verstappen then gets plaudits for his overtakes, which is fine as long as it isnt a one way street.

lol
All the salty racists and Lewis haters have managed to get 'Cheat' trending on Twitter
Best thing to do with that, as with many instances on social media is avoid it, twitter is such a cesspool of narcissism, hatred, trolling, virtue signalling, two-facedness and outright lies, that I wouldnt go near twitter with a digital bargepole. Twitter is virtual masochism

The max fans will refuse to acknowledge this, it was clear he turned in without that footage. Penalty was a joke.
