    That’s pretty lame. WTF. Old school racism? Is Helmut from the past? Is it just me or does the RB garage seem to lean almost totally Caucasian?

      He’s a piece of shit. I have always disliked him. Although this is disgusting it doesn’t surprise me at all.

      Most of the garages are almost totally white. It’s an issue.

          Is F1 not able to attract global talent? Because there are plenty of schools around the globe that produce engineers who should be competitive with those from central England. If F1 can attract global talent but still only employs mostly white dudes from Milton-Keynes, that’s an issue.

          If F1 is not able to attract global talent, you have to ask why. You’d also have to wonder how much better the cars could be if they could.

              Is is so bad that an excellent engineer and F1 fan would turn down an opportunity to work in F1 because they have to live there, or is it possible that F1 hiring is at best geographically biased?

          The Terminator has made some concerning comments for sure. Don’t get me started on Sigmund Freud.
