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.

“Not wanting fascists in my sports” is childish? Man this is fast cars driven by rich kids. This is billionaires measuring dicks. This sport is incredible but it isn’t so important that I’d give my team (not McLaren lol) a pass because I like their vroom vroom the best.

Every accusation is a confession. I think mixing politics and sports is fine. Great, actually. Morally correct, even. Sending black and Jewish athletes to the 1936 Olympics was political. Black athletes in the US kneeling for the anthem was political. Megan Rapinoe advocating for trans athletes is political. Hamilton wearing a pride flag in Qatar was political. McLaren accepting Trump IS POLITICAL. The difference between Trump and Biden showing up in the pit is that Biden is not an insurrectionist fascist. I think that matters, but I guess that distinction is childish to you? My guy you need to take a fucking breath.

well, if you want to go there, all americans are insurrectionists to the british. The whole world doesn't have to take part in the specifics of your internal political scene. Sort your own shit up.
