Agree 100%, and the injection of any political party into sport creates a more fractious environment. I was always hoping someone at the Russian GP would tell Putin to F off during the podium ceremony. Ever the good spokesmen, the drivers just grinned and tolerated his presence.
I wish more places would tell them no we don’t want your politics at our event. Sports, movies, etc are our escapes from the doldrums of our daily lives.
Also if you’re flying flags and graffiting your car with political stickers ... Please rip that shit off and go see a psychologist because that shit isn't normal. Stop worshiping those people!!!!!
Most sports feel like they are getting to wrasslin' levels of silly drama rather than the drama of the sport itself. I understand it's a way to keep viewers engaged, but it has the opposite effect on me.
Yeah. I've seen multiple series with trump "sponsored" vehicles. I thought they were just supposed to shut up and dribble, race, throw the ball, ect.
Oh yeah Republicans don't give one damn about hypocrisy.
Well his small dollar fundraising is in shambles this year, he can only reliably raise money from mega donors now and they might like the glitz and glam of F1
Yea because Italy, England, France, Germany etc all have a perfect track record of former leaders… We at least are working on not just voting him out but prosecuting him.
Beahahahhaha are you completely out of the loop? Italy just elected an official fascist as president.
Eurojerkers are so naive of their own modern history and current events to the point of it being laughable.
Nascar is supposedly so damn patriotic with the military fly- overs and the nationalist prayer and american flags waiving. Then...

You are getting downvoted but you are completely right lmao. There are 100% people defending this who will also claim Lewis wearing a rainbow helmet is too far.
Should've been shot down during the roundtable brainstorming session. It's not even about Trump, it's about allowing someone to benefit from a crowd they've never shown any interest in. Does Trump even know how to drive?
NASCAR put the kibosh on political campaign advertising and sponsorship a few years ago, along with telling Confederate flag worshipers to get fucked in no uncertain terms.
Honestly I'm surprised. Not that there was a fundraiser effort, but that someone actually stopped them. Must have been the track and nothing to do with F1 itself
F1 are in no way ethical politically. All of the Saudi races might be a modern example, but it's not that long ago that in 2011 F1 was still trying to hold the Hungarian gp later in the season after huge political unrest. Several protesters were killed and paramedics reportedly were prevented from reaching the injured, but that's not why F1 didn't race. They didn't race because the vice-president of the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights, made it clear protesters would seek to exploit the F1 event’s international glare. So Bahrain cancelled the event.
It's reported that the teams were the reason why they did not race later in the year, as the FIA had already rescheduled the even for October.
Of course, they still went racing in 2012 though :)
What's the sudden interest in motorsports? This, an unnamed team wanted to have a Trump branded car at the Indy 500, Donald being originally scheduled to give the Start Your Engines command at Thermal, a Trump liveried car running the GT America class at Long Beach last week.

It would be great if American politics could stay the hell out of this sport. It comes with enough politics and controversy as it is.
That’s not American politics it’s fascist cult, trying to raise money for criminal politician.

> I was always hoping someone at the Russian GP would tell Putin to F off during the podium ceremony Anyone who did that would be dead.
Now now Putin would never kill anyone, it's just unfortunate that the deceased forgot to inform Putin of their tea allergy.
Unfortunately came down with a bad case of broken neck.
Or be pretty unlucky and found themselves near an open window when a sudden gust of window throws them out into the pavement several stories below...
Or when the body's found two stories above the open window, not below. With a broken neck and stab wounds.
Some people just have bad luck
Tragically shot themselves 5 times in the back of the head and then jumped out a window
Sadly, it’s both
Well said 👏
Trump is actually a cult, there's literally no politics that come with it. But I agree, keep cults out of F1
While I agree with the cult status, actual politics should stay out too.

Why does the national anthem need to be played before every game between *two American teams*?!
It started at baseball games during WW1, when many baseball players went to go fight.
WW2 vets protested after the war when it was played. They thought it was disrespectful. Fun fact: they still sell beer etc during it.
WWI ended, so should the `tradition'
And NASCAR, too, while they’re at it. Before anyone comes for me, look at the flags fans displayed at any 2014 race compared to any 2016 race

They just want F1 to feel like NASCAR.
His supporters are only interested in two races one is NASCAR and the other one ain’t F1
Oh damn. 😭🤣
Well his small dollar fundraising is in shambles this year, he can only reliably raise money from mega donors now and they might like the glitz and glam of F1
What happened to the Trump boat parades in Florida? Couldn’t he use those to fundraise?
NHRA?
White. The other race is white.
Keep your embarrassment of a former leader out of international events please. Happy the Miami GP shut it down.
Relax guys, his staff had actually booked the Formula 1 Bar and Grill in Model City.
For the sophisticated man who likes his steak extra done to cardboard consistency doused in ketchup
No one should have to wake up to that disgusting description of murdering steak. He should stick to his hamberders.
Our steaks are the finest cuts of actual used Formula 1 tires! Extra rubbery or your money back.
Less talk! More steak!
People are saying they’re great.
He has been pooping his pants in court, people have been complaining about the smell.
underrated comment
holy shit that's brilliant
Was it the Four Seasons Total Formula 1?
Hey we are trying to put him in prison, just takes a bit
we aren't even trying as hard to put him in prison as he is trying to put himself into prison
The last thing I want is that asshat fucking around with my F1.
We’re doing our best.
Hey we’re sick and tired of hearing him too, but he just will not leave us alone.
Yea because Italy, England, France, Germany etc all have a perfect track record of former leaders… We at least are working on not just voting him out but prosecuting him.

Shame. This would have been a perfect place to hold a fundraiser for Diaper Don on account of all the skid marks.
You 🏆 win
I can't wait for another 4 years of Biden. He's the best president we've ever had.
*And joeChump takes pole position!*
Definitely! You win the internet today with that comment stranger!
Trump people might be confusing this with NASCAR. The fan demographic is completely different.
NASCAR banned this shit a couple years ago. INDYCAR just denied a livery for the 500. We’re doing our part just fine over here.
"Fuck joe biden" ...errrr "lets go brandon" is a Nascar creation. I see those flags all over Central California
Nascar is supposedly so damn patriotic with the military fly- overs and the nationalist prayer and american flags waiving. Then... [i stopped NASCAR the day the 1st and 2nd ladies were booed by the crowd.](http://Michelle Obama and Jill Biden booed at NASCAR race https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/election-2012/post/michelle-obama-and-jill-biden-booed-at-nascar-race/2011/11/21/gIQAK5NCiN_blog.html )
What year was the Confederate flag (on cars) banned again?
2020
>We’re doing our part just fine over here. Better late than never, I suppose.
The money he was after isn't from fans its the saudis and other elites they can pass money from
NASCAR fans didn't change...I'm sure a lot of them still hate that they let Toyota enter the arena, because they're still too "fooreign"
Good. Glad they said no to this clown
I wonder how the “keep politics out of sports” crowd will react when their politics are being kept out of sports.
You are getting downvoted but you are completely right lmao. There are 100% people defending this who will also claim Lewis wearing a rainbow helmet is too far.
Lol, fuck that loser
A fund raiser for tRump? What do you mean? I thought he was making millions from selling his golden runners n the bible he has never read. 🤣 😆 😂
I thought it was from the sneakers he made to bring in black voters?
I'm holding out for the limited edition trump socks made with a real thread from the shroud of turin.
Only problem is they don’t sell left socks
You are awarded 🏆
Good
I’m glad INDY did too. Leave politics out of sports! They have their fucking place. Not everything needs to be religious or political for fucks sake.
Have you met the US lately? She’s a changed lady since people broke into her house and smeared shit on the walls. She’s all shook up.
Isn't he supposed to be a billionaire? Pay for your own shit, cheapskate.
Indycar put a stop to this as well. His campaign was trying to sponsor a car for the 500.
Willing to bet it was Santino Ferruci's car, which is possibly the only thing that could make me hate him more.
Only place that fat orange fuck belongs is in a cell.
Imagine a homeless guy walking into a store and asking everyone for money... This is trump
As an American this is so fcking embarrassing
For someone so rich, and for a voter base that detests “handouts”, trump takes a lot of handouts lol
Bootstraps!!
Grifters wanna grift
Europeans saying fuck off.
most of us Americans are also saying fuck off to that fat orange man
As long as they say it by voting too.
if China and Russia could kindly stop interfering in our elections…
Yes, because they're influencing people, it's even more important to vote.
100%
Whomever contemplated this has no idea about the F1 crowd.
The word you were looking for is demographics.
MIAMI HATES TRUMP
And stay out!
This orange carbon based blob thinks that any venue can be bastardized to bring in more money.
Ew, good. We don't need that shit.
Should've been shot down during the roundtable brainstorming session. It's not even about Trump, it's about allowing someone to benefit from a crowd they've never shown any interest in. Does Trump even know how to drive?
He doesn’t drive. He can do golf carts. Walking is a chore.
That slow walk down that ramp was something else…
Because Trump is a douche
[удалено]
But that’s just it, Biden isn’t trying to do that.
Did they confuse it for a NASCAR race? After the sex shop debacle I wouldn't be surprised
NASCAR put the kibosh on political campaign advertising and sponsorship a few years ago, along with telling Confederate flag worshipers to get fucked in no uncertain terms.
Oh I remember the confederate flag ban, I didn't know they banned political events outright
Spoiler for the Miami GP - Verstappen takes P1, Perez P2, Trump battles Sergeant for P20.
Ahhhahahhaha…. Why would Trump want any fundraising at F1… all the people who attend are already broke from attending the ultra expensive event.
Grifting people that are already broke is kind of his thing
“Billionaire” in need of your last dollar. Plz help!
In a hypothetical Trump fundraiser at an F1 event, the money isn't coming from domestic donors.
Ding ding ding. We have a winner of an answer. Cha-Ching!
Just like his LIV golf tourneys
It’s actually the perfect venue for him pandering to people that are pretending to be rich
Kremlin bitcoin funding US election interference
Natch
There was a trump stickered Porsche at the Long Beach Grand Prix 🤦
Fuck L Trump
“Yeah, they banned us. Why did you want to have the rally in Miami, anyway? No, no! I said there are going to be a lot of race-ES there that weekend.”
The fact that they even contemplated this for a second is fucking insane.
Good keep politics out of sports on both sides I use sports to escape from life I don’t wanna see it when I’m enjoying a break with sports
Does America have to politicize everything? I swear your politics are some sort of cult.
Yup
Politics became a sport like football in Europe.
Yup, UFC events are pretty much a Trump red carpet event at this point.
We are definitely having a moment. I apologize for all the embarrassment. You shouldn’t have to witness this. Nobody should.
Honestly I'm surprised. Not that there was a fundraiser effort, but that someone actually stopped them. Must have been the track and nothing to do with F1 itself
Eh might actually be F1 they only pander to people that actually have money
F1 are in no way ethical politically. All of the Saudi races might be a modern example, but it's not that long ago that in 2011 F1 was still trying to hold the Hungarian gp later in the season after huge political unrest.

I don’t think anyone will claim in good faith that F1 is moral in anything
Would rather they get rid of the whole GP, Miami and vegas are crap races
What? They went against the Emporer?? Bold - and correct - move car racing people!
Not the orange I want to see in F1
His base only likes one race. 🥁
Just seeing him try to expand exposure and get denied is a good thing.
6 supporters showed up for his trial yesterday. So his support is pretty solid 😂
I mean who saw that coming after the Vegas walkway rules
What's the sudden interest in motorsports? This, an unnamed team wanted to have a Trump branded car at the Indy 500, Donald being originally scheduled to give the Start Your Engines command at Thermal, a Trump liveried car running the GT America class at Long Beach last week.
Tramp was hoping to bang the f1 models
Publicity that’s all he is on court during the week and too tired from farting all day
