As read by ORF on the broadcast right now, McLaren PR has reached out to media with a statement that they did not invite Donald Trump into their garage.

Trump came for an unannounced visit shortly before the start of the Miami GP.

    McLaren PR put out some BS about ‘respecting the office’. That cunt didn’t respect his own office, nor those he swore to serve. He has publicly said and done undeniably reprehensible things. I’m fucking sick of the type of people who feel they’re too polite to be political and then are ‘dismayed’ by the direction society is headed in.

    Zak, if you wanna degrade yourself, do it away from one of Britain’s most venerated sporting institutions, for fuck’s sake.

      In this case you’re talking about an international sports event and the team is not american. Why do you expect them to take a strong stand against a former US president?

          it’s a bit rich to play this card with a foreign team judging by what the current polls show in the US. How about you guys sort your own shit first and then start pointing fingers ? It’s not McLaren who made Trump president and it’s weird to expect them to involve themselves in your presidential race regardless of your feelings towards the candidates.

            Yeah you’re right. Everyone should be able to smile and gladhand with fascists as long as they’re someone ELSE’S fascists. /s

            If Putin or Margaret thatcher (May she burn in hell) showed up in the Yankees’ dugout I’d expect them treat them like a fascist. Stop being so precious about a sport.

              oh, sure they would. Like Haas, an american team, racing in Rusia and meeting Putin without any issues until the entire competition had to stop due to international sanctions. Get off your high horse mate, you’re getting dizzy from the hotter air

                  oh, are you mad at that? Are you so mad that you forgot it happened when you claimed it would never happen?

                  You’re just being childish and unreasonable. You’re probably the type of person who would have claimed McLaren has no business getting involved with politics is they refused to let Biden in.

      I hate the fact that this happened on the day of Lando’s first victory. Fuck the fascist putschist.

      ∴ cunt × cunt = cunt² and -cunt × -cunt = cunt²

      ⇒√(-cunt²) = icunt, -icunt

      which we all wish is what would happen to DJT. To become an imaginary cunt.

    Fucking dbag trump told Norris he was his lucky charm in getting that win…Norris is handling it professionally but I would be steaming if a no talent failing upward insulated by daddies money hack tried taking credit for something I’d put my entire life’s work into achieving…

    Man, a lot of “F1 fans” are mad about Trump being in McLaren’s garage. McLaren didn’t invited him in the first place. He was invited by an third party.

    EDIT: I find it funny. How peoples brains stop working when they see Trump or hear his name. Like all they see is red. Then they say and do something crazy. I just find all funny and odd.

        Trump is a slimey buisness man/politician, that hardly raised to the level of ordering the extermination of millions people.

          I think the vibe here is less about has he ordered the extermination of millions and would he order the extermination of millions…

            It’s insane to think Trump would order the extermination of millions, looking the other way while another country did is a completely different story.

    All that means is that toxic money is hitting Mclarens pockets, not a good look.

    Idk why this criminal is allowed to go anywhere really. He’s still showing up to public venues as if he isn’t a terrible person that has negatively affected all of our lives. Still mingling with people and taking pictures while smiling like he didn’t commit a litany of felonies and wasn’t the worst president in existence.

    If I was him, I’d hide in a hole for the rest of my life but unlike him I actually feel ashamed for doing misdeeds.

      He has no reason to be ashamed, even if he had the capability to feel such things. A good chunk of the voting public still support him and believe every lie he tells.
