Lewis Hamilton Is Under Investigation For Wearing A T-Shirt: Report
Lewis Hamilton Is Under Investigation For Wearing A T-Shirt: Report-February 2024

Image for article titled Lewis Hamilton Is Under Investigation For Wearing A T-Shirt: Report

Lewis Hamilton won his 90th Formula One race at a , at which Hamilton also wore a T-shirt. According to a couple of outlets, the FIA is now investigating Hamilton for said T-shirt.

Via :

Lewis Hamilton faces an FIA investigation for wearing a ‘political’ T-shirt at Sunday’s Tuscan Grand Prix.

... Hamilton’s intervention is seen by several senior F1 figures as being potentially ‘political’.

FIA statutes forbid political statements of any kind.

Hamilton could be fined, with one official privately indicating to Sportsmail the Mercedes man had ‘crossed a line’.

Let me save the FIA some time. Yes, calling for justice for is political. So is not calling for justice for Breonna Taylor. In fact, not saying or doing anything “political” is also a political choice!

Another thing: How would the FIA describe what happened last month when Formula One I guess that wasn’t political or something, or it was just political enough, which tells you all you need to know about how organizations like the FIA treat these things.

Saying something benign that everyone can agree with? That’s just fine! Saying something specific and actionable? That calls for an investigation! Hamilton, in any case, is unlikely to stop, and he shouldn’t. I’m also guessing this won’t be the last time the FIA embarrasses itself over a “political” issue. I emailed the FIA to ask what this investigation entailed and why it was happening at all and will update this post if they respond.

In the meantime, I have also conducted my own investigation of the incident by watching Hamilton’s interview while wearing the shirt in the video below.

Justice for Breonna Taylor.

The Scuderia Glickenhaus Racecar Beat The Lap Record At Hockenheim By Four Seconds
The Nürburgring 24 Hours competing racecar just set a new lap record at the Hockenheim ring by a whole four seconds over the previous record-holder — a Porsche 918 Spyder. Of course, one is a full-fledged racecar and the other is a chunk of battery mass, but the 918 is...

Which 1990s Race Car Driver Had The Smallest Sunglasses?
As far as I can tell, the faster you were in the ‘90s, the smaller your sunglasses had to be. Here we see Scott Pruett before the ‘99 Grand Prix of Miami back in the days of CART. He did have some pretty tiny 1990s sunglasses on, but were they...

Which Motorsports Program Had The Sketchiest Funding?
Motorsports isn’t just a great place for people to get together and compete in the fastest cars and bikes on the planet. It’s also a good way to waste/launder the questionably rich’s ill-gotten gains. There are many motorsports programs funded by convicted crooks, cheats, and financial skeezeballs to choose from....

Experience The Simple Pleasure Of Having A Ferrari-Powered F1 Car On A Track All To Yourself
Seeing Esteban Gutierrez on track in the Sauber Ferrari C33 without other racers or a crowd is incredible. But being able to watch a lap without ridiculous music, dramatic light-sweeps or some corny voiceover is a real rare treat. You’re welcome. This appears to be from a few years ago,...
