Not to be outdone by her sister, Serena, Venus Williams was unbelievably rude to Martin. Just let us all know that she was there for Hamilton (shocker that) and then turned away. Then turned back as if to say, 'what you are still here?' followed by 'what was the question?'. This is after Serena's nonsense last year in Austin. The two of them just need to go away. Both have been propped up by media and sports announcers that they believe they are entitled.
Last spring in a tune up tournament in Italy, Venus got upset with the chair umpire regarding the serve time clock. He said, no problem you have plenty of time. She got mad and said something about not being able to control God, as if God tells the wind when to blow. Then she turned on her heel like a 5 year old and wagged a finger, meanwhile she was 41 years old.
I thought after Austin last year F1 told these A S S hats that if they were on the grid there was no refusal. That was pretty much directed to Serena Williams. Today she just turned her back on Martin and walked in another direction.
They should amend the rule to add 'no publicists, body guards, or other strap hangers' on the grid. That may help, at least to reduce the number of people.
+1 on Fitti, Mario, and Zak. Class acts all. I liked how Martin put the screws to Zak to get the others a drive at Austin.
David Beckham was also very generous and acted like a gentleman.
Before the race one of the announcers was talking about how F1/Liberty wanted to provide 'quality racing with world class entertainment'. Well, there is where this began going downhill. This event was all about the show and schmooz. Sort of reminds me of Kentucky Derby and how much that has become an event for corporate and celebrity attendance.
