I’m not an expert
The salty messages aimed at Lewis can only be for 2 reasons. Either because he's British or he's black. I hope it's the first and not the other. What really gets me is these Brits who are having a go. I remember Wimbledon a few years ago when Brits in the crowd were supporting the likes of Sampras when he was playing against Tim Henman.
I suspect the former in the vast majority of cases. Personally, I don’t particularly like Lewis in terms of his personality, I’ve never warmed to him - but all I see is a (very talented) racing driver, whether he’s black, white, brown, green, or whatever. He’s actually mixed race, but it doesn’t matter.
I never liked Schumey either in the same way, he was white. Potentially we might be heading into a situation where if you aren’t a fan of someone who is black you get called racist even if it has nothing to do with it.
He is a truly exceptional driver, credit where it’s due though.
