Thankfully, Lewis Hamilton has done what every Australian would like to do, reversed his car over “Coronavirus Dan” Andrews:
The best Formula One driver in the world, Lewis Hamilton, has launched a scathing attack on race organisers for pressing ahead with the Melbourne Grand Prix this weekend as the coronavirus threat escalates worldwide.
At a drivers’ press conference on Thursday, Hamilton said his sport was falling behind in its response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, and suggested organisers were putting money before safety.
“I am really very, very surprised we are here. I think motorsport is great but … it is really shocking that we are sitting in this room,” the six-time Formula One world champion said.
“Already this morning you’ve seen Trump shutting the borders of the US to Europe, the NBA has been suspended, but Formula One continues to go on,” Hamilton said.
Asked why he thought the event was proceeding, Hamilton said “cash is king.”
The Mercedes-Petronas driver said he was extremely worried about elderly people he had seen around the track for the first day of the event.
The event has now been cancelled with no help from Coronavirus Dan:
Formula One’s season-opening Australian Grand Prix has been postponed after McLaren withdrew from the event when a team member tested positive for coronavirus.
The decision was taken following a two-hour summit involving F1’s under-fire hierarchy, its governing body, the FIA, and a number of the sport’s team principals in Melbourne.
Our leadership is THE WORST imagainable.
