Fortunately for the racist people. You can't freely post racist marks hereOn here? No. You're not. If you dislike him, it automatically makes you racist, but nobody will say it, they'll just dance around it with phrases like 'you don't like him for ObViOuS rEaSoNs'
The likes of twitter etc it's easy to
I'm sorry but this track is one of a few that need to be dropped. Action packed into turn 1 yes due to the wet track, but otherwise it's just soooo difficult to overtake. It's probably the hardest track outside of Monaco.
Hungary, Monaco, Spain and that awful French track I think should be dropped. There have been overtakes yes, but it just doesn't promote good racing and change of position. Today we had cars over 2 seconds a lap faster that just got stuck. Vettel behind Ocon. Verstappen behind Riccardo for half the race then one of the Williams. Lewis got held up but obviously made it through. I just think it's frustrating to watch and another example of where DRS does not work and just provides DRS trains.
Watch how Redbull DO NOT take the Bottas thing any futher at all showing their true colours and intent to target Hamilton when it suits them. I hope they all enjoy their long salty summer.

So I guess you are going to bury your head in the sand and completely ignore all the racist crap that has occurred over the last few months? (Euros, Silverstone, Redbull sacking, Horner ..etc ..etc)
Obviously we are not saying ALL the people booing are racists (that would be a sweeping generalisation which the racist seem to have a monopoly on) however you are being extremely naive if you don't think a large number of people booing are doing it because he is black!
It was brilliant to watch today. Definitely a keeper.

Think he overtook to get to the pits quicker and was told by the FIA to give the places back.

He'd jumped people in the pits and the FIA told him to give the places back.
Let me rephrase;
How do you know everyone in that crowd booing is racist?
Can a person boo or show disapproval of someone, without being called a racist?
If people make racist tweets, does that mean everyone is a racist?
For context, I'm a person of a mixed ethnic background who grew up in a fairly conservative predominantly white society. I've encountered racism, but I have to judge each case on it's own merits.
My view, people don't like Lewis. Some are racist, some are not. I can't give you a percentage.
That was a great edge of the seat race I thought, the Hamilton v Alonso battle was more gripping than any number of cheapo DRS overtakes. Well done Alpine, well done Ocon and great team work by Alonso. It's a shame the trophy looked like something you see in a 80 years olds house.

Okay. Fair enough. Thanks, and thanks @Stumble Bum.
Oh no! Sainz called to stewards for radio on warm up lap
No-one has said that. I'm sure there are people for whom racism plays no part in their being low enough to boo but that doesn't make it not a big factor.
You almost expect it in things like football, but for F1 it seems like a fairly new thing.
It’s such an immature reaction.
Based on this, would it mean you would have called out those booing Nico in the case below?

Racism sucks, and there should be no place for it in sport. Period. We should also aim to be consistent and at least somewhat equitable.
Agreed!!
