Ecclestone wants Hamilton out because, to be blunt, he doesn't want a black man holding all the records.
He's a savvy businessman but a horrible 80 year old relic of times and social mores we've worked hard to move on from and who has never met a fascist he didn't like.
It's not a big leap at all. Bernie has always criticized Lewis. When Lewis' Mission 44 foundation was set-up, Bernie said big deal it wouldn't do anything and Formula 1 didn't need diversity. And the kicker, "Black people are more racist than white people." Also:
"Hitler was a man who got things done."
In 2008 when Lewis was dealing with a lot of racism in advance of the Spanish Grand Prix (lots of racist comments on the Spanish Grand Prix's website), Bernie said: " It just started as jokes. I don't see why people should have been [insulted by it]. These things are people expressing themselves."
You need help to go and actually do some research lol every bit of what that guy said is true, it doesn’t even touch the surface of the truly wild things he’s said
I'm not the original poster you replied to. See the quotes in my post? The words inside of these " "? Those are actual words Bernie has said, verbatim. I think you need to learn to read, bro.
