This will be a general purpose thread for F1 news and pings that really don't require a thread of their own.

Lewis Hamilton: ‘Racial element’ to FIA boss’ ‘rapper’ comments
Lewis Hamilton raised concerns over FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem comparing Formula 1 drivers swearing on team radio to “rappers,” saying there was a “racial element” to Ben Sulayem’s comments.
In an interview with Motorsport.com, Ben Sulayem said the FIA plans to clamp down on use of profanities over team radio, including removing offensive language from F1 broadcasts.
“We have to differentiate between our sport — motorsport — and rap music,” Ben Sulayem told Motorsport.
“We’re not rappers, you know. They say the F-word how many times per minute? We are not on that. That’s them and we are [us].”
When asked about the comments, Hamilton said he understood the move to cut down on swearing for the benefit of younger audiences but took issue with the comparison.
“With what he’s saying, I don’t like how he’s expressed it, saying that rappers is very stereotypical,” Hamilton said.

Awwwwwwww, poor Ham-Bone-Boy... he’s “offended”. Get over it, scumbag!
That’s the interesting thing about ‘stereotypes’ - they are stereotypes for a reason.
And is Hammie suggesting that there are no rappers of particular racial complexion?
Looks like little Lewis and Moe Ham Head Been Salivatin’ both have their knickers in twist. Drivers have been cussing since drivers have been driving. It doesn’t help that they’re mic’ed up all the time.
They’re going to love Hambone in Maranello...
I can't find the cornering spec anywhere but they're claiming the suction increases grip by 30%, so figure prolly 1.3-1.5 Gs.
0‐62 mph in 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 226 mph
£2.36 million, delivery, taxes and licensing extra.
That’s what comes from being raised with a persecution complex.
This ain’t the first time he’s played the race card against the FIA.
“We have to differentiate between our sport — motorsport — and rap music,” Ben Sulayem told Motorsport.
“We’re not rappers, you know. They say the F-word how many times per minute? We are not on that. That’s them and we are [us].”
there it is, FLH!!!
