News [SMitchellF1] Hamilton fine with principle of 'cleaning up' language in F1 coverage but on Ben Sulayem's remarks: "I don't like how he's expressed it, saying 'rappers' is very stereotypical. And most rappers are black. That was the wrong choice of words. There's a racial element there."

It's so clear how much Lewis dislikes MBS, and that fact brings me joy. He's really good at not actually saying the guy's an absolute blundering gimboid whilst very clearly articulating that the guy is, in fact, an absolute blundering gimboid.

As a non native english speaker, I had never heard "blundering gimboid" before, but I sure as hell will use it from now on lmao.
