    Lando Norris slams Hungarian GP kneel farce as a ‘mess’ and calls on Formula One to give drivers time to show support

    Lando Norris has vowed to continue to take a knee before races
    There were shambolic scenes in Hungary as some drivers wore ‘end racism’ T-shirts while others did not. Some did not even line up alongside their fellow stars.
    The message was they were split, with world champion Lewis Hamilton calling out Grand Prix Drivers Association director Romain Grosjean for not wanting to continue the public show of support.
    He also accused Formula One and the sport’s governing body, the FIA, of “lacking leadership”.
    But after crunch talks, Brit Norris, 20, insisted: “We are united in agreeing with what we support as a community of F1 drivers.

    “Whether we do take the knee or we don’t take the knee, that is not the question. I don’t think that needs to be the reason why people judge some of us to be in support of it or not. We all support it.
    “Some people want to do different things, but we are all in agreement that we want to take a stand and show support of what we’re trying to do against racism.
    “We will have a better structure and better plan in place for this weekend.
    “Yes, it was a bit of a mess in Hungary. We have to accept that. But it was not the drivers’ fault entirely.”

    ‘EVERYTHING I CAN’
    Norris said he will continue to take a knee but says drivers who do not should not be judged to be against the movement.
    He added: “I take a knee because I want to have the biggest impact I can on ending racism.
    “It is one of the few times in life when people like me can have an impact on the future. This is one of the biggest initiatives around the world to make a change. I want to do everything I can.”
    Norris has made a solid start to the season and is fourth in the drivers’ championship.

    The McLaren star will see his current team-mate, Carlos Sainz, join Ferrari next season — not that Norris is green with envy as the Italian team struggles.
    He added: “There have been a few jokes. I’m not going to lie but I’m not rubbing it in. I know how karma works and how easily things can go the opposite way.
    “Ferrari seem to be in a difficult position at the moment with what they are trying to achieve.
    “It’d still mean a lot to us as a team to take the next step and beat a team that has been front-running for many years to show the progress we have made.”

    Lewis Hamilton slammed by fans for sharing anti-vaxxer post accusing Bill Gates of ‘lying’ over coronavirus jab

    LEWIS HAMILTON has shared an anti-vaxxer post that accuses Bill Gates of “lying” over a coronavirus jab, sparking a fierce backlash.
    The Formula One driver, 35, twice put a video on his Instagram story on Monday morning but deleted the updates.

    Internet celebrity Andrew Bachelor – known as King Bach – uploaded a 13-minute video of Bill Gates being interviewed over a vaccination for Covid-19.
    Gates plays down the suggestions of the potential vaccine’s side effects in the interview with CBSN and rubbished claims of tracking chips being implanted through jabs.
    Quizzed about the many conspiracy theories surrounding him and the work of his global health foundation, Gates said: “No, there’s no connection between any of these vaccines and any tracking type thing at all, I don’t know where that came from.
    “Dr Fauci and I are the two most mentioned, and some of these are deeply ironic. Like, our foundation is about reducing death and bringing equity to health.

    “And yet the idea that we get accused of creating chips or the virus, I think we just need to get the truth out there.
    “We need to explain our values so that people understand why we’re involved in this work and why we’re willing to put billions towards accelerating the progress. It’s a little unclear to me, but I hope it will die down as people get the facts.”
    But King Bach captioned the clip: “I remember when I told my first lie.”
    Hamilton, who has earned plenty of respect for his Black Lives Matter and climate change campaigning, decided to share the post to his 18.3million Instagram followers.

    But the six-time F1 world champion came in for a major backlash for seemingly promoting an anti-vaxxer stance.
    One wrote on Twitter: “The fact that Lewis Hamilton is actively supporting anti-vax conspiracy theories proves the point that I’ve been making for years.

    “He isn’t humble and he is isn’t a good guy. He is a fraud.”
    A user said: “All your fantastic work with BLM is thrown right out the window with your one single Instagram post.
    You’re surrounded by incredibly smart people daily. You cannot honestly hold an opinion so dumb and unfounded in science. Explain yourself.”
    Another added: “Can I ask why @LewisHamilton is sharing anti-vax posts on his instagram story?
    “In a pandemic, is this really the time to be giving a platform to this?
    “Come on man, your team are at the peak of science and engineering, you can do better than share this anti-science b******s.”
    A third said: “I am a huge fan. I can forgive you for the Vegan nonsense. But being Anti-vax is just foolishness.
    “You got too much money to be this dumb. Educate yourself.”
    Fellow sporting hero Novak Djokovic has also come under fire for his stance on vaccinations.
    World No1 tennis star Djokovic even threatened to pull out of events once the ATP Tour gets back underway due to his strong opinions on vaccines.
    Last week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson blasted anti-vaxxers as “nuts” and urged everyone to get the flu vaccine this summer.
    The PM lashed out at those who don’t get their jabs as the Government launched a huge new drive to try and protect the NHS this winter ahead of a possible second coronavirus wave.
    The popularity of groups and websites opposing vaccinations is a real concern, with a surge in interest during the last few months in line with the global pandemic.

    Should anti-vaxxers continue to press forward with pushing their message, this could lead to the fight against coronavirus being derailed.
    In order for a jab to be effective – once it is ready – it would need to be taken by a large proportion of people in order to increase the immunity.
    So mass refusal to cooperate and be vaccinated may lead to coronavirus remaining present and, therefore, spreading.

    Formula One confirm three new GPs at Nurburgring, Portimao and Imola this year but USA, Brazil, Mexico and Canada AXED

    FORMULA ONE have confirmed that three more European races have been added to extend the 2020 season.
    The iconic Nurburgring will host a German Grand Prix, while Portimao will feature the return of the Portuguese GP before Italy’s third race will take place in Imola.

    F1 chairman Chase Carey said: “We are pleased that we continue to make strong progress in finalising our plans for the 2020 season and are excited to welcome Nurburgring, Portimao and Imola to the revised calendar.
    “We want to thank the promoters, the teams, and the FIA for their full support in our efforts to bring our fans exciting racing this season during an unprecedented time.”
    Races in Brazil, the USA, Mexico and Canada have all been axed “due to the fluid nature of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, local restrictions and the importance of keeping communities and our colleagues safe”.
    Carey added: “We want to pay tribute to our incredible partners in the Americas and look forward to being back with them next season when they will once again be able to thrill millions of fans around the world.”

    The heavily revised Formula One schedule is currently booked up until September 27.
    Mugello in Italy and Sochi in Russia were announced as the first additions to the initial eight-race calendar.
    But now there will be at least 13 Grands Prix with the confirmation of the latest three races for the October/November slate which would normally be occupied by the USA, Japan and Mexico.
    Lewis Hamilton and Co will return to the Nurburgring for the first time in seven years on October 9-11.

    Sebastian Vettel won the 2013 edition, with Germany only hosting three races since then and all of them have taken place at the Hockenheimring.

    Portimao meanwhile is expected to have a limited number of fans in attendance for its F1 debut on October 23-25.
    The Algarve track has never hosted a Formula One race, with cars in Portugal racing at the Estoril circuit during the 1980s.
    As for Imola, Italy’s third race of the season will take place on October 31-November 1.

    Bernie Ecclestone hits back at Lewis Hamilton criticism revealing he once ‘saved black man from racist driver’

    BERNIE ECCLESTONE has hit back at criticism from Lewis Hamilton over the race row engulfing the sport – and revealed he once saved a black man from a racist white driver in South Africa.
    The former F1 supremo recalled the shocking incident in response to Hamilton labelling him “ignorant” and “uneducated” over his recent comments about racism.

    Ecclestone said witnessing the shocking show of racism – as well as the murder of a black journalist – led to him pulling F1 from South Africa.
    The Grand Prix in the nation had been a regular between 1934 and 1993, hosting 33 races, until Ecclestone pulled the plug.
    Ecclestone said he was being driven by a white chauffeur when he assaulted a black man in the road.
    He recalled: “I pulled F1 out of South Africa after a white South African killed a black journalist because of his comments.

    “At a race weekend, I was given a car and a driver to use.
    “I was in the car with Jochen Rindt, the F1 driver, on the way to the race track.
    “A black person was walking in the road and the white driver opened the car window and, with a cane, hit the black person and made him walk on the side of the road.
    “I shouted to the driver to stop the car.

    “Jochen and I pulled the driver out and put the black person in the car and drove to where it was OK for our new passenger to get out safely.
    “I was semi-arrested by the police.
    “I explained the facts of life to them, which they didn’t want to understand. That is how it was.
    “I had many other incidents like this. Life isn’t fair. We need to educate a younger generation.”
    HAMILTON ROW
    Hamilton recently called Ecclestone “ignorant and uneducated” for suggesting “black people are more racist than white people”.
    The reigning world champion, 35, has been working tirelessly to lead F1’s fight against racism, targeting Ecclestone, amongst others such as Sir Jackie Stewart, for their comments.
    Stewart had told Good Morning Britain: “I think Lewis has been a great example to lots of people.
    “He’s quite vocal about these elements, [but] I don’t think there’s as big a problem as there might seem.”
    Elsewhere, American F1 and IndyCar legend Mario Andretti, 80, said: “I have a lot of respect for Lewis, but why become a militant?
    “He’s always been accepted and he’s earned everyone’s respect.
    “I think the whole point of this is pretentious. I feel that way. And it’s creating a problem that doesn’t exist.”

    And Ecclestone has now hit back at Hamilton’s “uneducated” jibe.
    He claimed: “Lewis could start by making people aware that those who are other than white are employed by teams and are given the same opportunities.
    “Lewis, you state that I am uneducated and ignorant. I have the same level of schooling as you.
    “At least I had a reason – I was at school during the last war, not always under the best conditions.
    “You are lucky because if I had been properly educated perhaps Formula One would not be as it was for you to benefit as you have.
    “I have done well out of it, too, but I was making money before I was in Formula One.
    “When you win another championship, it will be by your talent, and being in the right place at the right time.”

    Ecclestone continued: “Like most successful people, you have had a little bit of luck and worked hard.
    “But you are a special driver and a special person.
    “Don’t think about what your skin colour is; think about what colour your mind is.
    “We are all humans with the same movements. We must think in the same way.
    “Don’t envy others. Just improve and catch up. We all have something different from others.

    Lewis Hamilton slams ‘ignorant’ Sir Jackie Stewart and Andretti after being branded ‘militant’ over anti-racism campaign

    LEWIS HAMILTON has labelled Sir Jackie Stewart and F1 legend Mario Andretti “ignorant” over a lack of support for his anti-racism campaign.
    The British six-time world champion has been vocal in trying to get F1 to do more to promote diversity in the sport.

    3

    Lewis Hamilton has remained vocal to promote diversity in F1
    They launched the Race As One campaign, which has created some unity during the opening three races of the season.
    But not all drivers have taken a knee before races and others have worn anti-racism T-shirt’s while others haven’t.
    As the only black driver, Hamilton has vowed to speak to race chiefs to “do a better job” in spreading the message.
    Hamilton’s calls have been questioned by Andretti, who labelled the Mercedes driver a “militant”.

    American F1 and IndyCar hero Andretti, 80, said: “I have a lot of respect for Lewis, but why become a militant? He’s always been accepted and he’s earned everyone’s respect.
    “I think the whole point of this is pretentious. I feel that way. And it’s creating a problem that doesn’t exist.”

    Hamilton was quick to respond, claiming that Andretti needed to be educated.
    He replied: “This is disappointing but unfortunately a reality that some of the older generation who still have a voice today cannot get out of their own way and acknowledge there is a problem.

    “Again, this is plain ignorance but that will not stop me from continuing to push for change.
    “It is never too late to learn and I hope that this man who I’ve always had respect for can take the time to educate himself.”
    Three-time world champion Sir Jackie Stewart also claimed there was “no resistance to change”.
    The 81-year-old said: “I think Lewis has been a great example to lots of people.

    British Formula One fans told to stay away from Silverstone with police and road blocks in place around circuit

    BRITISH Formula One fans have been told to stay away from Silverstone.
    The Northamptonshire track will host the British GP a week on Sunday but strict coronavirus protocols mean it is behind closed doors.

    1

    British Formula One fans have been told to stay away from Silverstone for the British GP a week on Sunday
    The GP attracted a record 351,000 spectators over the four days last year, with over 140,000 fans attending on the race day.
    However, circuit chiefs are working with police to prevent fans from sneaking a glimpse of Lewis Hamilton and Co – or even being close enough to hear the cars on track.
    Roads blocks will be in place around the circuit while the fencing has been re-enforced, should anyone breach the perimeter.
    The message from the organisers is clear: don’t waste your time travelling to the circuit.

    Meanwhile, the sport will try to find a away to improve the anti-racism message at the start of the British GP.

    The ten greatest F1 drivers of all-time – according to SunSport’s motorsport correspondent Ben Hunt
    Sebastian Vettel has responded to Hamilton’s claims that enough is not being done.
    The Ferrari driver, who has taken a knee with Hamilton in all three races this year, said: “What you see is what the situation is.
    “Everything was a bit rushed, I think drivers were just about to arrive to do whatever driver decided to do individually, and then in the end it was starting.

    “Going forwards it is probably true that we need to talk among ourselves a bit better so hopefully we can sort it out a bit better at the next one.”
    Meanwhile, F1 say they are committed to their end racism campaign and foundation to increase diversity, despite Hamilton saying it had slipped “off the agenda”.

    “We set out our plans for diversity and inclusion last November and have in recent weeks announced additional plans to create a task force to tackle these issues and a foundation with over $1m already donated to create apprenticeships and job opportunities for under represented groups.
    “We want to make lasting change and are acting to do this.”

    Lewis Hamilton blasts F1 drivers after Hungarian Grand Prix win as anti-racism message continues to fall flat

    LEWIS HAMILTON has blasted F1 and the Grand Prix Drivers Association after the sport’s anti-racism message continues to fall flat.
    In more chaotic scenes at the start of the Hungarian GP, some drivers took the knee, some didn’t.

    Some had “end racism” T-shirts. Some were nowhere to be seen.
    Those who did, were positioned by F1’s staff with their backs to a screen showing someone singing the Hungarian National Anthem – a disrespectful move in itself.
    It looked ridiculous – for the third weekend running – as F1 again failed to put aside time in their pre-race schedule for the message.
    And Hamilton singled-out GPDA director, Romain Grosjean, for criticism, naming the Haas driver.

    The world champ, who won the race at a canter, said: “Well, he [Grosjean] doesn’t think it’s important to do it so…
    “He’s one of them that thinks it was done once and that’s all we need to do.
    “So I tried to speak to him about what the problem is and it’s not going away and we have to continue to fight for it.
    “I think this time he didn’t mention anything in the drivers’ briefing and neither did Sebastian [Vettel], and Sebastian and I messaged each other and he stressed as did I, the importance that we continue to do it.”

    ‘DO MORE’
    Hamilton continued: “Moving forward we need to speak to Formula One.
    “They’ve got to do a better job, it was such a rush, us getting out of the car, running over, quickly doing the knee.
    “They need to do more, I don’t know why they’ve only done it for the first race, they did the start, they’ve not done it since then.
    “They’ve come out saying they’re going to be fighting for diversity and end racism but they’re not giving us the platform to continue that as it’s not rushed.
    “I think they can give us more time, so I’ll probably send an email over the next couple of days, and try and co-ordinate with them.
    “They do want to do it. I guess there’s not good enough communication.”

    Hamilton later went on to say there is support for his message but it isn’t being taken seriously enough.
    He continued: “There is definitely not enough support for it.
    “From a drivers’ point of view, many seem to be of the opinion they have done it once and do not need to do it again.
    “I don’t know their reason for that opinion.
    “We are all members of the GPDA and that is run by three people and two for it and one who doesn’t think it is important to continue it.
    “F1 did an OK job at the first race but it is not good enough when you see other sports. It is like it has gone off the agenda after that.
    “It is lacking leadership. We are in a sport and there needs to be leadership from the top and currently there is none of that.
    “I try not to lean on the drivers because I don’t want them to think it is because of me they are doing it.
    “But I don’t think it has been taken seriously.
    “People have not grown up with it and because of that, it does not affect them, but we are fighting for a change.
    “I will get in touch with F1 this week and get in touch with [FIA President] Jean Todt, as no-one else is going to do it.
    “My dream is that by the end of the year we all know and understand things better and we stand united and the whole of Formula One is on top of it.
    “We have not made any progress. We have made gestures but we have not changed anything.
    “It is about communication, so I will get back on a call with F1.
    “I would love to know what Jean thinks and what [F1 CEO] Chase [Carey]  thinks.
    “But there is no progress yet. You need a leader, where is Jean in that scenario? It should not be me to call them out.
    “It should come from the top down. The higher powers that pulls the strings.”

    The ten greatest F1 drivers of all-time – according to SunSport’s motorsport correspondent Ben Hunt
    Hamilton is understandably upset. F1 had made much of it’s Race As One campaign, but without universal support, the message is lost.
    At the Austrian GP, the season opener, there was an attempt at unity as all drivers wore the black T-shirts.
    But while Hamilton, who has used his social media to promote the Black Lives Matter movement so well, has continued to press home the point, the message does not appear to be supported by his fellow drivers on the grid.

    He added: “With the other drivers, there’s not a lot I can do.
    “I gave a lot of energy in Austria to try and convince a couple of the drivers, and it’s a battle.
    “But I think what’s important is the ones that are doing it, the understanding, is fantastic; my dream is that one day the other drivers come around to it.
    “If we get to the last race and we’re all kneeling down and showing that we are united I think that would be beautiful.”
