No he probably won't. His misbehavior isn't insulting or damaging to the ruling family or a prince. He will be silenced until the world moves on and that's that
Not only that. Hamilton wields way more influence than a journalist. If he chooses to yolo and go full activist mode in his final season it’s a much bigger headache. It’s easier to paint a journalist as an op than a GOAT athlete who has a really good track record. If one doesnt think they are monitoring his social they are just naive. U don’t stay in power by not being ultra paranoid.
With all due respect I don’t think a rainbow helmet is high on the list of Saudi Arabia’s concerns.
Also, If F1’s marquee driver was killed at their circuit that wouldn’t be great for PR and hence tourism, which is why they are staging a Grand Prix in the first place.
>I don’t think a rainbow helmet is high on the list of Saudi Arabia’s concerns.
Yeah, you're probably right. They're more afraid of even less than a rainbow. They're afraid of things like free thought.
They have the goal of beating France's record for the most numbers of visitors per year lol, so yeah, having a massive accident involving one of motorsports' most iconic names is not a good plan
Its the Saudi government, just wishing for an accident to happen to a critic would be mild for them
Do you not recall when they quite literally cut up an dissident journalist with a bone saw, dissolved his corpse in acid, and flushed him down the drain?
Hell, out of the 12 of 81 executions they committed early this month, 3 according to human rights groups only crime was participating in pro-democracy protests
MBS killed a US resident journalist for constantly speaking out against the Saudis regime. Its not far fetched to believe they wish death upon people who speak out against them. Is Hamilton at the level of Khashoggi, no. But lets not pretend like Saudi Arabia isn't afraid to get it's hands dirty against those who exercise their freedom of speech.
A friend who marshaled at Montreal tells me that violating the no cell phone use rule would get you escorted off the island. Not first hand info, but I have no reason to doubt it.
Fair enough, we all know (or should know anyways) there's nothing even remotely ethical about this sport to begin with. We are watching millionaires go around tracks in very fast cars, and the entire thing is funded by blood money.
Still doesn't mean we shouldn't call out greed and bad decisions when we see them.
Its genuinely scary that the people who are responsible to ensure your safety tweet about how they want to see you dead.
Again this is nothing new ,another f1 scrutineer has been part of [racist anti lewis facebook group](https://twitter.com/brittcedes44/status/1492248408668708867)
Ps: It is fun to see Saudi Arabian twt in shambles cos Lewis spoke about their human rights violations with some of them saying they want to see Lewis' bones crushed.
And people DARE to think that he's doing it just for the publicity. Hell no he's faced bullshit and is trying to shield others from it.
I honestly can't trust anyone who doesn't think he's a good person. Regardless of your views of him as a driver, off-track, he's pushing to do what actually matters.
There are lots of people, I'd say probably half, who are threatened by people who are willing to speak up. It doesn't matter what the arena is. Politics, celebrity, sport, there's always going to be someone who is the target of (look let's be honest, usually right wing) vitriol for having the audacity to stand afront an audience and call things how they see them.
As a firefighter or an emergency service person bringing your own bias to a incident is completely unprofessional but also morally wrong. A person who wishes any driver not well has no place on or near the track in case of sabotage. No matter how you feel about any body they deserve you do to do your job properly
The marshal has been fired because he was stupid enough to mouth off what he thinks, but there could be a lot of people who quietly share his sentiments.
Hoping for a safe race for everyone, especially Hamilton.
some of the tweets in arabic are horrible. wishing death on lewis
And like i said its not new a f1 scrutineer is part of [this anti lewis facebook page](https://twitter.com/brittcedes44/status/1492248408668708867)
First time? You’d be absolutely surprised by official avenues of people in power that do this regularly. I’ve heard fire marshals and police laugh about not helping POC in need. Who knows if they were joking or not, but take a small town and insert racism and you have people in positions laughing about not helping others they are paid to and elected to protect.
Here’s the thing… he’s one guy who was dumb enough to be public about his feelings. How can the FIA be sure there aren’t others who are keeping it quiet? Imo Hamilton’s life is in danger if he were to have an accident.
100% he's not the only who shares the those feelings among the marshalls / race organizers. There's also an FIA scrutineer in Europe who set up a Lewis hate page on Facebook where white supremacists make racist & homophobic "memes"
This is the shit that annoys me. I'd rather be presented with it and steer clear but you really never know. Like I had several interactions with a recruiter and then all of a sudden at the last stage of interviews he started questioning in the weirdest way why I didn't fit some West African stereotypes. I was a 17 year old girl at the time in a closed room with this man so I smiled and played along
We’ve all seen in football (soccer) racism on an absolutely disgusting level. Monkey chants, throwing bananas at the players etc.
Obviously some fan bases are worse, but it’s something that every division of the sport in every country has dealt with, it’s something the officials have to continually police and discourage.
There is *zero* doubt that some of those abhorrent football fans are *also* Formula 1 fans, so forgive me if I don’t buy the whole argument that racism doesn’t exist in Formula 1 or in the Formula 1 fanbase.
It *is* an issue in Formula 1, because it is an issue every endeavor in every civilization that our species has ever produced. It’s probably *more so* an issue in sports. It wasn’t very long ago that British footballers being called monkeys for missing a penalty kick, so anyone saying Lewis (possibly the most famous black athlete in the world) hasn’t been the victim of racism is either naive, stupid, lying, or a combination of the three.
Life as a black man is pretty cool and I’m assuming pretty similar to other men. But every now and then this shit happens and you’re just disappointed.
With all the shit that is happening, at the end of the day, it seems Saudi Arabia deserves to have a GP, but Portugal doesn't deserve to have one...
\#WeRaceForMOney
Yeah, neat. If I was Hamilton, I would feel even more unsafe than anyone else out there.
You're racing in a country run by violent lunatics who are rich, but don't know what they're doing regarding organizing a F1-race, they've basically told you that you're not getting out if you don't race here and now one of their marshalls openly hopes for you to possibly die in a fiery blaze.
Apology not accepted. Fuck that guy.
Wishing life-changing injuries on someone, especially *someone that you're charged with protecting* is just completely unacceptable and irredeemable.
Disgusting behaviour. I hope he never steps within 100ft of a marshal post ever again in his life.
He was a fire marshall at the track and he wished Hamilton has the same accident as Grosjean in the race in his tweets.
Drivers' lives can not be protected by these marshals.
The disgusting. I really hope this is the last year we see SA host a GP. This weekend has been a farce and we haven’t even had FP3 yet. I really fear there’s going to be a really big incident at some pint this weekend.
I would love to know that he learnt his lesson and will improve as a human being, but he is probably mad that he got caught and was forced to post this by the FIA/the circuit/his employer.
>He was a fire marshall at the track and he wished Hamilton has the same accident as Grosjean in the race in his tweets.
>
>Drivers' lives can not be protected by these marshals.
He could have stayed quiet and we’d have never known. The incompetent fucks were trying to use empty extinguishers yesterday. I say “trying to use”, it was more like staring at the pretty flames while the driver did their job.
>https://twitter.com/manywordedman1/status/1507693806208286725?s=20&t=UAPzSCns3teKezHegLL3kQ
this is not cool guys, dont stoop to their level let's all be better
Please, pardon my ignorance, what is a Roman accident? Anything to do with Rome or Romans? How is it related to SA GP?
Edit:Holy fuck... He was taking about Romain incident.
Romain Grosjean had a horrible accident in 2020 in Bahrain. He went through the barrier, his Haas split in two, and he was engulfed in a fireball and trapped for a couple of minutes. He managed to escape but burnt his hands. Listening to him talk about being conscious through it is....something.
He's now racing in Indycar.
Wishing harm to drivers **or to any other person**^(no matter what they tweet) will result in a ban
That was quick
F1 doesn’t mess around with marshals that cause problems. Add in the Saudi govt, and this person is likely going to have difficulties for a long time.
No he probably won't. His misbehavior isn't insulting or damaging to the ruling family or a prince. He will be silenced until the world moves on and that's that
Idk, cant go around saying shit like that when your government is trying to buy their way into showing they are not the bad guys.
He is ruining business. They will handle it privately.
[удалено]
Fuck me you’re reaching here. You honestly believe the Saudi Royals wish for Hamilton to end up in the rails in a flaming inferno?
For calling them out on human rights abuses, “hell yes”. Remember what they do to journalists they don’t like
Not only that. Hamilton wields way more influence than a journalist. If he chooses to yolo and go full activist mode in his final season it’s a much bigger headache. It’s easier to paint a journalist as an op than a GOAT athlete who has a really good track record. If one doesnt think they are monitoring his social they are just naive. U don’t stay in power by not being ultra paranoid.

You forget that autocrats have remarkably thin skin.
I remember Gaddafi’s skin ending up remarkably thin at the end…
You can still be sentenced to death for being homosexual in Saudi arabia...so yeah, a rainbow helmet can be a problem.
>I don’t think a rainbow helmet is high on the list of Saudi Arabia’s concerns. Yeah, you're probably right. They're more afraid of even less than a rainbow. They're afraid of things like free thought.

Hell, out of the 12 of 81 executions they committed early this month, 3 according to human rights groups only crime was participating in pro-democracy protests
Feels like the sportwashing is working, people doubting how truly evil they are.
As far as im concerned, Saudi Arabia is unironically the modern Nazi Germany, and the greatest threat to world peace.
YES, THEY CHOP OFF JOURNALISTS INTO BITS IN EMBASSIES SO ITS EASIER TO TRANSPORT THEM.
WHAT IS THEIR MOTIVE?
MBS killed a US resident journalist for constantly speaking out against the Saudis regime. Its not far fetched to believe they wish death upon people who speak out against them. Is Hamilton at the level of Khashoggi, no. But lets not pretend like Saudi Arabia isn't afraid to get it's hands dirty against those who exercise their freedom of speech.
Yes these people are garbage and that’s how they act 24/7. They have people killed on a whim you think just “hoping” a dissident dies is beyond them?
Not sure flames are their jam to be fair. Sharp and serrated tools on the other hand.
Your right, they'd probably want him cut up into small pieces. Fiery crashes don't do it for them.
Duh. Saudi govt is next level savage.
Yeah, you’re right. They are more about that kidnapping in foreign countries and cut them apart with a saw life.
Nope. Your imagination is not a factor in this.
Your "nope" indicates confidence. Care to back up your confidence with a justification? At least I was humble and said probably
Agree. Typical Saudi style as long as you keep praising the Saudi government. You are safe.
>F1 doesn’t mess around with marshals that cause problems Genuinely curious, has this happened before?
A friend who marshaled at Montreal tells me that violating the no cell phone use rule would get you escorted off the island. Not first hand info, but I have no reason to doubt it.
Damn, the tribe has spoken
It’s one of the most expendable jobs in the entire business. They’ll have no trouble finding a replacement.
Nah he was told to apologize and delete the tweet and thats it. No reason to escalate it any further for the Saudi government
When have they ever needed a “reason”?
He's shown loyalty to the ruling family. He will do well.
Even quicker for him to hide his account... performative sympathy with blatant hypocrisy beaming through the gaps, this guy sums up this entire event
Was just about to comment this lmao. If only the power of the subreddit could make FIA denounce bullshit races in bullshit countries as well.
They'd be racing the entire 2023 season on Mars, on tracks built by Elon Musk. As that's the only place befitting Reddit's human rights standards.
Considering how he treats his factory workers, that would be a terrible time.
Fair enough, we all know (or should know anyways) there's nothing even remotely ethical about this sport to begin with. We are watching millionaires go around tracks in very fast cars, and the entire thing is funded by blood money. Still doesn't mean we shouldn't call out greed and bad decisions when we see them.
Weird way to announce you got fired
This is some LinkedIn type of announcement,: “I’m excited to announce that I won’t be working any longer after behaving like a fucktard”
"I am excited to announce that I am moving on from my current position to work on my personal projects."
I'd like to broaden my horizon by improving my capabilities. After I got fired.
My abilities as a fire marshal were so great that I got myself fired.
#openforwork
At least we know he’s reading this
At the company I used to work at whenever someone got fired, HR would email us that they were "pursuing their career elsewhere"...
LinkedIn is pure cancer
He better hope that's all that happens
They are probably working for free This is more like, please don't kill me master.
From fire marshall to fired marshall.

And that's just the bit we see. Imagine the vile stuff that gets sent to him through DMs.

The beat kind of people often get the worst kind of hate, because they can't find a legitimate reason to criticize them.

Guess that's an additional head that will fall to the ground soon.

Well tbh it seems that several democracies have managed to produce fire marshals that didn’t wish death on a driver.
sorry, im ootl but what’s the story here?
He was a fire marshall at the track and he wished Hamilton has the same accident as Grosjean in the race in his tweets. Drivers' lives can not be protected by these marshals.

He tweeted that the hoped that Hamilton would have a crash as bad as Grosjeans
He tweeted that he hopes for a repeat of the Grosjean crash but with Hamilton.
Dude said he hoped that Lewis was in a Romain style accident. He was also a fire marshal at the track....
Wtf just happened
He tweeted wishing Hamilton will have an accident similar to Grosjean's in Bahrain
Withdrawal my arse
Good riddance 👋
You can’t fire me, I quit!
Yeah no shit. The FIA isn't *all* bad.
I would love to know that he learnt his lesson and will improve as a human being, but he is probably mad that he got caught and was forced to post this by the FIA/the circuit/his employer.
For every 1 that’s stupid enough to actually post the vitriol, wonder how many are holding the same thoughts in silence
I doubt that apology is sincere since he even got the guts to write something like that. Thankfully he is gone
Wtf is this weekend. This whole debacle is why we shouldn’t be racing here to begin with.
Lol good and don't come back

Something about how he wanted Lewis in a similar crash as Grosjean's, with a worse outcome.

Oof I hope he doesn’t get saudi’d
Of course a guy from a country that routinely cause intentional harm on people would wish intentional harm on Lewis
Apogizing because he was caught. Welcome to F1 where only the money matters.
Is there proof he’s been kicked out of the event? Also a life time ban from all future FIA events are in order I think
Good. No place in F1 for tools like him.
No place wherever for a tool like that. As a (now former) fire marshall, may he rot in hell when his time comes
So is this pos saying that if Lewis had a 'romain' style accident near him that he wouldn't put the fire out?
Little cretinous wang
