Is this hunk Hamilton's ex? (Photo credit: Nic Redhead)

Who are the gay drivers in F1?

Please note that I am only theorising here. I love all people, be they gay, straight, transgender, bi-gender or whatever they are and were born like. For the comments below, I will not tolerate any homophobia. We are all different and must accept each other as so and live together in the harmony.

It stands to reason that there must be at least one or two drivers in F1 who are gay. Even though one might argue that the sport attracts significantly more heterosexuals, there is no way it could be an “exclusive” club. Women have driven in F1 before and do so in top level motorsport in the USA. Even though motorsport is a caucasian dominated sport, all kinds of racial minorities have raced.

In my opinion, there are three drivers who could well be gay.

The most obvious case is Adrian Sutil. He is a musician and likes some of the finer things in life. When he crashed his car at Canada in 2008, one could observe potentially gay mannerisms, see the video below.

Before you accuse me of playing to stereotypes, you should know that studies have been done to see if people could be differentiated between heterosexual and homosexual going on observations alone. Read this. It is scientifically proven that your face, your speech and the way that you walk can show your sexuality. In this sense, Sutil qualifies on all three counts. His impeccable style and notoriety for openly crying in public on occasion make him almost a dead cert – the day he comes out will probably be the biggest non-news event ever.

Many have also said that Nico Rosberg could be gay. I am not so sure about it. He looks handsome but I think he could possibly be asexual and just not interested in anyone at all, no matter what their gender. I would say the same for Sebastian Vettel too.

Another strong candidate might be Lewis Hamilton. But what of his relationship with Nicole Scherzinger, I hear you say? I have a theory as to why his unwillingness to have kids led to their break-up. In my view, Hamilton did not want kids naturally with a woman because it would be the ultimate betrayal of himself as confirmation of being a hetero man. Perhaps he may opt for a surrogate-born child himself one day (just like Cristiano Ronaldo, someone who I think is also gay).

It is interesting to note that Sutil was publically unhappy about Hamilton recently not turning up to testify at his GBH trial in Germany, he even called him a coward after crying during his court case. These two were apparently really good buddies over the last few years. They were teammates in F3 and considered closest friends in the paddock. Then suddenly this huge betrayal. Methinks that their “friendship” could actually have been something much more, an intimate relationship behind closed doors and illicit affairs in one another’s F1 paddock motorhomes or 5-star hotels. I, for one, would like to see them get back together one day, they sure make for a cute couple.

Please Hamilton, I begging you, please come out of the closet this year. It will clear your mind and unload your mental baggage and you will be back to winning ways. If you want, I can even come on board to help you and be your resident McLaren guru, just like Jo Ramirez used to do.

Anyway, what do you think? Leave a comment.
