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.

you are taking a hypocritical position though. As per your claims, you're well aware of FIA and Liberty Media' corruption and money grabbing schemes, but somehow you draw the line at a perfectly innocent event in which McLaren has landed. This is hypocritical

There's zero hypocrisy. I don't understand your argument that there is.

Me: I don't like some of the things the FIA does, they are corrupt as an organisation. I don't like how McLaren welcomed someone like Trump into their garage.

You: HYPOCRISY!!!

There's no hypocrisy. I'm allowed to dislike aspects of a sport I watch, you muppet.

You're being hypocritical when you claim that McLaren had an easy choice in refusing Trump's access when you (as per your claim) know full well how the sport is organized.

I don't think you know why hypocrisy means.

And yeah, McLaren could've easily said no you can't come in our garage.
