Well, this could also be taken differently. Think of it, how the media in
America always has to make something out of nothing, for the sake of
ratings. Really now, if women are to be thought of as equals, why should it
be such an extraordinary thing that we have a women who happens to be a
decent race-car driver?

But look here, I'm an American myself. But I think this F1 guy was just
pulling everyone's chain, critical of how the American media looks at things
and what its true motivation is.

I don't know why she would be confused. He's an ass. Isn't that very easy
to see?

Your comments on American media ring true, but I wouldn't give Bernie that
much credit.
