Gresini rider Manuel Gonzalez has managed to seek out himself dodging the poisoned chopsticks after upsetting China by sporting a scarf earlier than his maiden Moto2 victory final weekend in Japan.
Gonzalez was given a Hachimaki headband by the race organisers as ‘a little bit of fun’ to put on while on the grid in Japan however Gresini’s title sponsor QJMotors had been left ‘boiling their woks’. In Japan the Hachimaki image hyperlinks to the nation’s proud warrior previous. Nevertheless within the nation of China, who’re the world’s primary environment polluters, the image represents a time when the Japs steamed into China earlier than World Warfare 2 and violently stole all their MSG…or one thing*. It’s due to this that QJMotors appeared eager to play the sufferer card.
“They had been actually mad!” defined one bystander who was ordering takeaway from them on the time. “I’d say they had been much less candy than bitter once they noticed Gonzalez parading the Hachimaki in entrance of their easy faces. Their eyes had been crimson with rage…or I believe they had been – it’s actually onerous to inform with Chinese language folks isn’t it?”
QJMotors, who undoubtedly don’t use baby labour as that’s an outdated stereotype, had been so irritated with Gonzalez’s nogging ornament that they’ve demanded that the Spanish rider be sacked instantly. Then, probably, chucked in with the Uyghur inhabitants for some re-education.
Regardless of Manuel’s comical fake pas final weekend the title of most silly headwear thought in motorsport nonetheless doesn’t belong to him. As an alternative that exact honour goes to the massively overrated F1 driver and social justice warrior Lewis Hamilton who as soon as thought it might be trendy to put on a balaclava knitted by somebody aged.
