Lewis Hamilton says it's 'shocking' that grand prix is going ahead

“I am really very, very surprised that we’re here,” Hamilton said on the opening day of the four-day event.Advertisement“So many fans [are'] already [here] today. It seems like the rest of the world is reacting probably a little bit late [to the virus] yet Formula One continues to go on.

“It’s a concern for the people here. It’s quite a big circus that is coming. It’s definitely concerning for me.”The Bahrain Grand Prix is slated to go ahead without crowds on March 22.

Lewis for Australian PM!!!

It’s called putting money before the welfare of people. Oh and once the race is over and their millions have been collected then the announcements of shutting down business , schools , sport etc will come. Disgusting

Tell him to stay home then

Hamilton has a European perspective and its bad there and getting much worse. Sport is not insignificant part of our economy so to close it down will have a negative effect. We're going to have a recession so we have to make sure we don't make it worse than it otherwise might be.

It's ll about the money ...surely Lewis knows that.

So cancel sporting events? What about people travelling on public transport every day? People at work? People having multiple interactions as they go about their daily business?

I just want toilet paper 🧻

Agree.

Has Lewis withdrawn? Sorry, paywall.

He is right. Why did they even ship down here. Anyway it’s on tv no crowd. ?

The love of money (greed) is the root of all evil.

PrDemography NBA suspends the whole league, but in Australia the show must go on!

Well then, just go home sooky

Yep.... and we kept the gates open for Italian based teams to come on over, when Italy was locked down with Covid 19. Last F1 in 2020.

ACTINOSProject Closing down all international flights putting a stop to all sport evens concerts now and limiting or stopping the spreed of the virus is what they should be doing now.Having 1000s of people affected and then doing it is not acting in the interest of the Australian people.
