Like I said: I think it's absolutely legit to lobby the FIA and teams/organizers to do better.

But it's not the thing people mean when they say "Lewis should do better". And yes, it's weird that people have this opinion.

What do people mean when they say Lewis should do better though?

Like that he should quit and make the charities his full-time job, as opposed to leaving the running of it to other, more qualified, people?

Open more charities?

Something else? I dunno. Most of the time it's just people erroneously saying he doesn't actually do anything.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago

Yeah.

I think some people draw parallels to Seb quitting which was - at least in Germany - debated as him going away for moral reasons and doing environmental work instead.

Who has more money to start up a karing league, Lewis Hamilton or Jamie Chadwick?

Lewis could start up dozens of karting tracks and subsidize karts and everything for plenty of kids at each, covering all travel expenses between them, and never even know the money is gone.

And I'm a huge fan of Lewis. I just think that sometimes he needs to put his money where his mouth is.

He puts tens of millions where his mouth is. How about actually reading what I've provided?
