Who the f cares ? I can show you articles on the contrary for eg he was amongst the top 5000 tax payers in uk 2019.
Like he said himself he doesn’t even live in uk and pays tax in 22 different countries.
And there are high profile f#ck faces like Clarkson and Tyson fury who recently again fuel this tax fire.
Like i said people are so pathetic, never ever have I seen someone asking where max pays his taxes or kimi or anyone for that matter.
But hey it’s the price you pay to be on top!

Yes, but could you for once stop talking about yourself? That's rude.

?????

Dodging taxes or avoiding paying too much tax?
Funny, I know of an entire vocation where highly qualified people are paid a fortune to advise businesses how to legally pay less tax. Dirty f#cking tax dodgers.

Nico Rosberg got some massive stick when his name appeared on a "Panama Papers" document.

Not a German to begin with.

And here's another immutable fact...

Nico Rosberg: Ich bin Deutscher und kein Monegasse

Auch wenn er seit seiner Kindheit in Monaco lebt, betont Formel-1-Pilot Nico Rosberg seine deutschen Wurzeln - "Ich fahre nicht für Charisma"

It appears that the U.K. also features an " envy complex" phenomenon very similar to that prevalent here in Germany. Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg were often subjected to vitriol as "unpatriotic tax-dodgers"-regardless of whether that accusation is warranted or not . Nico Rosberg got some massive stick when his name appeared on a "Panama Papers" document.
Obviously, this may have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with skin colour at all.

People seems to think the envy complex is typical for their own country, but it seems this is a global thing that exist everywhere.

Well I used to work in the UK , and what I read from comments on social media, it seems like broad hate for him by his own countrymen .. and always the tired old he doesn’t pay tax, when he does and I don’t see them policing every other celebrity that doesn’t pay tax.. it’s just pure hate.

And it makes no sense other than skin color .. I can’t see what else the problem could be, you tell me. I’m sure you have some spin on it.

Ahhhh, so there it is. The racism card again.

Lol, "spin", you mean facts.

I was born in the UK and have lived here all my life. I don't doubt for a second that some people do hate Lewis because he's black. You're on a different planet if you think that's the only reason he gets any stick, and the vast majority support him simply because he's British, same as they will Russell, same as they did for Button and same as they did for Hill.

F1's global fan survey states this:

He's literally the most popular driver here....





And as for tax dodging... it's regularly front page news here and I'm sure you'll notice skin colour doesn't seem to be motivation for it. Sports stars, celebs, politicians... most of who are white.

What's really funny to me, is that a drinking companion literally builds cars for Mercedes F1, he doesn't like Lewis, and one of the reasons he doesn't like Lewis is because when my mate gets his performance bonus this year for the WCC, he'll have to pay top rate tax on it (40%), and he know Lewis may well wiggle out of paying his tax as he has done before.

You need to accept that some people just don't like Lewis because he is sometimes just a bit of a dick.

For sure , Dont act like it doesn’t exist.

Fair enough the last sentence I agree with , but can you also appreciate how little of a dick he is given his success. The 5x or more champions in f1 were waaay more of dicks than him on and off track.

anyway fed up with this shit..

Man was robbed , kick back and wait for Hamilton and Mercedes to dissolve the competition next year.. I’ll show you all what dickish behavior is then.
And I hope you come to play ball then to and not crawl into corners like roaches.

I don't act like it does not exist. But I believe than more than people disliking Hamilton cause he is black, I believe some people like him just because it's black.

Your mate doesn´t seem to have to any issues that foreigners in UK, who work and live there most of their times, are also subjected to the UK tax regime and not to that of their countries of origin I guess.

So we now into tax education…

So we now into tax education…

Yes, tax, racisme and envy complex… Formula 1 in a nutshell.

 

[Sunny]

And here's another immutable fact...

Shouldn't that be Lewis 7?

Otherwise, what a mess of thread. Yes, racism exists, yes, tax dodging exists. Can we get back to F1.

Someone on reddit transcribed all relevant driver-pit conversation during the safety car - https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/rk103m/i_analyzed_and_summarized_team_radios_after/

It is interesting most drivers/engineers including Hamilton's engineer Bono himself expected lapped cars to be allowed to unlap like it is usually done. Bottas even makes the right call about pitting Lewis for this situation.

Just highlights that Hamilton was screwed over by the situation of the late crash and not having a free pitstop, rather than some deliberate conspiracy.

 

[klier]

Finally. Your posts are becoming downright erratic.

Can we get back to F1.

Might be an idea to just lock this thread and start discussing 2022, as there's so much to discuss regarding the new regulations....

The MB fanboys have proven to be poor losers enough now.
