No he wasn’t you plonker. Tell us why Willy never scored a point in F1.
Mmmmm,HE IS STILL A FORMULA 1 DRIVER
If he said "I am the first half black person to score a point in Formula 1 then that would be different" <-- you know he always has to make everything about race, but he didn't
So he is wrong, Willy was the first black formula 1 driver, Hamilton was the first half black person to score points, win races and championships. There are many Formula 1 drivers who were only ever test drivers and never actually raced..
Bit of a leap, I doubt even practice/test drivers would want to be introduced as a "Formula 1 Driver" without some serious qualification thereafter.HE IS STILL A FORMULA 1 DRIVER
More of the same. Not unexpected though.

But anyone with two brain cells can understand what the man meant. The only way you misunderstand is if you’re a religious zealot about “anyone except the brown driver”
He is the only black driver to compete in F1. He wasn’t referring to engineers, strategists, mechanics, testers, etc.
You say he made it about race yet here you are splitting hairs about being half black. YOU’RE that guy.

That is what every drivers aims to do obviously, but it's like an Apline driver saying he wants to fight for a podium and fourth knowing that a top 10 would be over achieving.View attachment 1879554
Isn't that what racing is about?
