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?

Because he is a fascist and I expect everyone to take a strong stand against fascists

Not being American doesn't mean you have to be passive about Trump.

I'm not Russian but I still fucking hate Putin and would be happy to take a stand against him.
