This old racist will continue to be racist. True but I think it's still necessary to publicize such comments and not sweep them under the rug. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 3 points 3 years ago Yes true. However as I said, I don't think anything will happen. He's been saying racist dumb shit for years now without penalty. Just because he's an old rich European he gets away with it. Money talks in F1.
