In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Hamilton showing his undoubted brilliance this weekend. Champions, the really great ones, get stuck in when the chips are down.
I saw nothing wrong with it, showing resect to Senna and the crowd , but not shocked that some did not like it.
As a Brit, I really couldn't care less about this. Quite a silly thing to get annoyed about really. Brazil crowd has shown him love all weekend, he's showing it back.
Feel like many people who don't like Hamilton like to get annoyed at every little detail about him, such as this.

It is reminiscent of the Serie A dodging in the noughties.
That was one of Hamilton's greatest wins.
Shouldn't bother you.
But it does wonders for his instagram followers and for his market presence in south america.
That’s asking a lot? I was amazed he wasn’t fifth by the first bend
Loved the race by hamilton but reading this thread, the hate bottas gets is a bit too much I think. The guy had a podium finish and he's a level below verstappen and hamilton. But what a brilliant drive by hamilton. Not able to sleep from the adrenal dose from the race.
Horner is insufferable. Such a hypocrite claiming that was just a racing incident and he wouldn't expect anything if the roles were reversed.
Oh feck off - I was a staunch remainer but there’s something wrong about listening to the national anthem with the Union Jack behind him whilst draped in another countries flag.
Would you or other posters cool with it be happy with someonefrom team gb getting a gold medal at the olympics draped in another countries flag? It’s fecking disrespectful.
I have no issue with him driving with the flag celebrating or even respecting the crowd, but not whilst the national anthem is playing.
But it does wonders for his instagram followers and for his market presence in south america.
Exactly - it’s a cnutish move driven by self interest.
If Lewis doesn’t go wide there that is a certain crash once again. Crazy driving by Max
Again, I’m all for him paying back the respect to the crowd and celebrating with the flag but don’t listen to your countries national anthem wearing the flag of another nation - it’s just dosrespectful.
Tbf I wouldn't expect him to say anything else
I would rather they just got rid of the national anthems. Or even better, just play the Brazilian one, it’s a million times better than ours.
Urgh honestly why do you care? Like what’s the point in wasting your energy on a flag.
Yeah I don’t disagree with that. It doesn’t have to be about the nationality of the driver. He’s there as an individual or as a member of Mercedes, I don’t know why the national anthems are played.
Well I did not see anything wrong with that at all.
You obviously didn't hear the crowd chearing when Lewis overtook Max. What is wrong with mutual respect.
Lewis is always very keen to thank the spectators for their support. Something very few other drivers actually do.
He also had it on during the German national anthem didn't he.
Im not going to lose sleep about it, but it’s a weird thing to do no?? It wouldn’t be acceptable for other sportsmen to do it. He’s not representing GB officially but if they make a thing of nationality by playing the anthem of the winner, don’t wear another national flag.
Who cares? Let people do what they want. Just because he's British it doesn't mean he has to follow certain rules you like to see. He's clearly respectful and thanking British fans at Silverstone.
It's only a bloody anthem.
I did - like I say celebrate with the fans, do a lap after the race waving it to give back and show your appreciation for the crowds support. I just think it’s odd as a Brit standing in another national flag whilst your countries national anthem is playing to celebrate your win.
I think it’s one of those things that he does that alienates him from people.
Same here. Anything to find something to complain about.
Never heard of emotion straight after a brilliant race.
Wonder how many Germans are complaining because he had that flag on during their anthem...
Going by this thread it's just you, not people.
Yeah, I don’t doubt that.
I'm surprised such a benign thing is causing so much angst.
Didn't seem to alienate him from his adoring fans in Brazil. Not all who were Brazilian I suspect.
Anyway. Up to you what you think.
What. Every race.
Won't lose sleep but you're basically calling him a cnut for it. It seems to have you pretty riled. Are you that patriotic?
I’m obviously in the minority which is fine. As I said in my first post - it’s a huge weekend for him and probably goes down as one of his greatest individual weekends. I just thought it was questionable wearing another national flag whilst his country’s national anthem is played - I couldn’t see other sportsmen doing it, but as he’s not officially representing Great Britain whilst racing it’s not an issue for many fans which is cool.
Poor wording I guess. I just find it odd behaviour during a national anthem.
Best race weekend I've seen in a long time and the thing used to beat Lewis with is the Brazilian flag. I really don't get some people this is not a National sport and he isn't even racing for a British team he's racing for a German one.
Lewis wearing the Brazilian flag is a really weird thing to care about.
i’m with heardy, my grandad didn’t sell intel to the germans in ww2 to have our anthem disrespected by hamilton holding another country’s flag.
With an austrian boss and a finnish teammate. Nationality really plays next to no role in F1.
This thread keeps getting weirder & weirder
