But I thought Brazil hated Lewis Hamilton?
Not at all! He was even declared an honorary citizen of Brazil!

I think his public admiration for Ayrton Senna counts for much more than having won the 2008 title ahead of Massa 😉

No, that's true. Lewis didn't do anything wrong. It was Flavio and Bernie!

and Nelsinho Piquet, crashing on purpose to let Alonso win 🤦🏻‍♂️
Although they didn't care about the Hamilton-Massa fight, they just wanted to cause a Safety Car so Alonso could win the race.

What did Bernie have to do with that?

Well according to Massa Bernie admitted that he and Max Moseley knew before the end of the season and covered it up. Hence why he is now suing the FIA. This is important because after the end of the season it cannot be changed.

Bernie allegedly admitted that the race should have been deleted from the Championship and thus Massa would have been WDC for 2008.

TAG Heuer recently posted this on their Instagram Stories. They seem to be confused (or ignorant) about their own history yet again.

^That is not the Senna Edition 6000, this one is. ::facepalm1::

In addition, TAG is showing ref WH5151 with the blue strap option, implying that Senna wore it this way.

But in all the pictures I've seen, the strap that Senna wore in 1994 was black.
