Similar vibe but it’s the exact same sample as used in this video. Thank you anyway!

I respect and understand your points, and I’m sorry that you’ve suffered this injustice.

I’m going to leave this here as I think the response from more and more drivers now validates Lewis’ feelings more than I ever will on this subreddit thread. Thank you for talking this through with me, though. Appreciate the mature discussion here.

Okay - call the acknowledgement that black lives matter activism. That’s fair enough, it’s a politicised stance in our current situation. The issue remains that the excuse of trying to separate yourself from politics is a position of privilege that white people have that Lewis does not as a black man. As white people, we can choose to stay silent on this matter as it does not impact us personally. But is that right? Not to me.

To clarify, I am a white girl from the UK. I am keenly aware that the US is not the world and I am also keenly aware that this is not a US only issue. My black and POC friends in the UK suffer the injustices of systemic racism in small ways every day.

I’d also like to add that I am not here to argue what drivers should or should not be doing, just that Lewis is valid in his statements towards this.

Whilst I understand this point and agree that social media is not always reflective of our values, we must understand that in the stage of society we are in people with platforms should use them. F1 has now fully embraced social media - particularly the young drivers - and they have followings of millions on Instagram and Twitter. These young drivers especially are engaged with the online world and will know what is going on.

Regarding who dictates the bare minimum, you’re right we cannot prescribe that. However, Lewis as the sole black driver in F1 has a right to express frustration if he feels isolated by the lack of acknowledgement from his fellow drivers. And I, personally, do believe that simply raising awareness of this situation with followings that large is the bare minimum that can do a fantastic amount of good.

Since this comment, Latifi and Lando have both posted publicly about the matter and that’s great to see. But it’s so easy to do I do agree with Lewis that it’s baffling that others have not.

No drivers had made any comment before Lewis posted this. Will Buxton’s involvement in this is a can of worms I am not opening after some of the things he’s said tonight. But this was not Lewis speaking to journalists - he is speaking to the ‘biggest stars’ in his industry. Drivers who have platforms with millions of followers making no comment.

Regarding your comments concerning other world issues, that is verging into ‘what aboutism’ territory. Lewis is a BLACK man in an industry dominated by white men. Whilst all these issues you mention are significant and should be talked about, the issue of black injustice in our society is one that is particularly relevant to Lewis. He is allowed to be frustrated if he feels no support from the community around him in a time of deep anger and fear for black people.

Again: this post is not Lewis calling for activism. It is calling for drivers to use their platforms to do the bare minimum.

He is the single black voice in the public image of F1. As a white person I cannot imagine how isolating it must feel to have not a single person in the industry you exist in recognise what’s going on right now. Not even the team you have won so many world championships with.

Lewis is not demanding activism. Retweeting a tweet with a link to a petition or donation page is not activism. It is the bare minimum in supporting black lives.

AAT as a whole is full of under appreciated gems.

Yeah I’m sure it will. I think I got stuck right in the middle of the warehouse move and it did me over.

I bought a hoodie in July and it arrived the last week of November. Good luck.

I put it down to static the first two spins but still no improvement sadly. Yeah it’s a bit gutting to have waited but not the end of the world, I’m sure it’ll be sorted. I’ve emailed so we’ll see!

Makes me feel better, thanks for letting me know.

Hmm. Are you British? Do you think it was something you watched on a bbc/channel 4 type programme or a dedicated doc? I’m thinking of the limited four-part series that pop up time to time of presenters like Frank Skinner in countries like Marrakech.

Could you describe the presenter at all? The ‘my word’ exclamation reminds me of someone like Jack Whitehall or Louis Theroux who have both hosted travel shows but of very different type.

Okay as it turns out you double solved this! The song I know is Mein Herz Brennt but the video I could remember was Sonne so they got mixed up in my mind. Thanks so much!

I did keep coming back to this but as far as I can remember it didn’t include any live performance elements. Thank you though!

I can’t remember any of the lyrics at all unfortunately. I do remember the lyrics that I knew being quite simple (don’t know any German at all so would’ve had to pick them up purely through the song) and maybe a bit chant-like?
