Is Lewis Hamilton under a rainbow curse?

(Stop Press: The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Italy on Sunday 21st May 2023 which we refer to in the video was cancelled owing to extensive rainfall and flooding which has to date tragically taken 14 lives. Please pray for those caught up in it all.  The next F1 Grand Prix took place on Sunday 28th May 2023 in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Lewis came fourth. )

Sir Lewis Hamilton used the occasion of last weekend’s 2023 Miami Grand Prix to blunder into the Florida sex education debate. So let’s look at that debate, at Lewis’s descent into wokeness and how since he went on that path his racing career appears to have stalled. Watch our video (you are reading the transcript):

According to the BBC: ‘Florida governor Ron DeSantis is set to widen a law barring public schools from teaching about sexual orientation and gender identity to all grades.’

The law is officially titled the ‘Parental Rights in Education Act’. It was passed in 2022 and currently applies to public, or state, schools from kindergarten, only up to ‘third grade’, which is 8-9 year-olds.

Extension of the law

In April 2023, the Florida Board of Education approved an extension of the ban to all grades, primary and secondary.

Mr DeSantis and other Republicans who support the law, and the extension, say it shields children from inappropriate content that does not belong in schools. They argue that parents, not teachers, should be holding discussions on topics like sexual orientation and gender identity with their children. The Bible supports them. In the Old Testament, in the book of Deuteronomy, chapter six, the Lord tells his people this about his laws:

Deut 6:7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Bring up your children in the Lord

And of course the New Testament agrees. We read in the Gospel of Luke, chapter two and verse fifty-one that the Lord Jesus was subject to his mother and father, while the Apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesians also in chapter six:

Eph 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Parents, the Bible tells us, are responsible for their children’s education, not teachers, not sex educators, not LGBTQ+, or whatever the latest version is, activists.

Florida Commissioner of Education Manny Diaz Jr said in a tweet: ‘Students should be spending their time in school learning core academic subjects, not being force-fed radical gender and sexual ideology.’

As expected, Democratic President Joe Biden has called the law ‘hateful.’ Gay and Trans activists in the State and indeed across the US are also furious.

Rainbow Flag on his helmet

And into the shallow mud of opposition has now waded our own national treasure Sir Lewis Hamilton to campaign for homosexuals and trans activists against parents and decency.

‘It’s not good. At all,’ said our Lewis. ‘I stand by the LGBTQ community here and hope they continue to push back.’

Push back against parental rights and responsibilities, eh? Mr Hamilton said he would race in Miami with a rainbow flag in support of LGBTQ rights on his helmet.

‘It is no different to when we were in Saudi,’ the Mercedes driver added. ‘It is not the right direction and not the right message.’

Oh dear, Lewis, in two places in the book of Proverbs we read:

Prov 14:12 (c/f 16:25) There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

‘I am here and hoping that just by showing up with my helmet I will be continuing to support the LGBT community and showing I stand with them in solidarity. I hope they continue to fight against it,’ he went on

Oh, Lewis. ‘Showing up’ with his rainbow helmet. It was, no doubt, the least he could do. But seriously, with his words and his helmet Lewis is trying to change opinion. He is interfering in another nation’s internal affairs. just as we see Western governments and foundations and sportsmen like the gay Tom Daley doing all over the world. And of course there is a spiritual dimension to Lewis’s intervention, coming inevitably from his secularist worship of a false woke god. The Lord’s Prophet Jeremiah said:

Jer 23:26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

Sex Education is ‘Vital’

Sir Lewis went on: ‘My sympathy and thoughts are with the people here in Miami. It’s not them making the decisions, it’s the people in government and that’s the issue.’

Really? Only last year Ron DeSantis beat his Democratic challenger Charlie Crist by over 19 percentage points. The Florida Governor specifically campaigned on the culture war and against the ‘woke’ values of Sir Lewis Hamilton and his celebrity friends.

You know, we are constantly told by the education establishment here in the UK that sex education is always age-appropriate, that it is essential to help children understand the modern world and that parents have nothing to worry about.

But now Lewis has given the game away. Sex Education is actually designed to promote homosexuality and transgenderism to children. It is apparently an essential plank in the armoury of gay and trans activists. It is, in the words of our own Director of Ofsted Amanda Spielman, ‘vital’ for children to hear the gay and trans ideology in Relationships and Sex Education. ‘Vital’, that is, for the woke cause. And it seems it is ‘vital’ for them world-wide.

That explains Plan International and the ‘gender-queer’ Comprehensive Sexuality Education toolkit that that Western-funded NGO tried to sneak into Rwanda.

It explains concerned parents being excluded from school board meetings across the United States. But there is a judgment coming. The Bible says:

Eccl 5:8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.

Seven World Titles

Back in the previous decade, it seemed as if the Lewis Hamilton / Mercedes partnership was unstoppable in Formula One. He won his first world championship in 2008 with McLaren.

He joined Mercedes in 2013, winning his second championship the following year. He won again in 2015.

Lewis lost the 2016 title to his team-mate Nico Rosberg, but went on to win four in a row from 2017 to 2020. Seven world titles equalled the record of Michael Schumacher. In our house, we cheered and prayed for the fresh-faced boy from Stevenage all the way.

But something changed during 2020. On 25th May, George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, was murdered while being arrested in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by Derek Chauvin, a 44-year-old US police officer. The fact that the policeman was white gave ammunition to a Marxist-feminist bunch called ‘Black Lives Matter’, led by three fiercely anti-family, anti-capitalist lesbians. I say, ‘anti-capitalist’ but they certainly prospered from the death of the Mr Floyd. Derek Chauvin has since been convicted.

Going ‘woke’

In the wake of the murder, Lewis demanded his Mercedes be painted black and he started doing the knee business to show his support for the wealthy anti-family Marxists. Then in 2021 he switched his attention to homosexuality. He commissioned what Pink News described as ‘his intersex-inclusive Progress Pride flag helmet’ for the inaugural Grand Prix in Qatar, which he won. Why those born with the unfortunate intersex condition are dragged in, I have no idea, except for shameless political reasons, of course. The inaugural Saudi Arabia Grand Prix followed and Lewis won that too, also in his rainbow helmet.

Then followed the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Lewis turned up in his woke helmet for the third time in solidarity with homosexuality. Sodomy is illegal in all three countries. I suppose refusing to take part was not an option for a man with an eye on an eighth world title.

But look, here are three Muslim countries following the laws of God, which say, in Leviticus chapter twenty:

Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

You might object to that penalty, but in the UK there is no penalty at all for sodomy. Instead, it is promoted to 4-year-olds in school.

Bringing shame on the UK

Lewis was only calling attention to our national sin, bringing shame in Muslim eyes on the constitutional Christian country he represents. Moreover, his pro-gay virtue, or vice-signalling provides an additional reason to persecute individual Christians in that part of the world.

Anyway, the Abu Dhabi race was held on 12th December 2021. Coming into the race, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton each had 369.5 points. Lewis needed to win. He made a good start and led for most of the race. He appeared on course to win what would have been a record eighth World Drivers’ Championship. But as Jonny Cash sang, ‘You can run on for a long time, sooner or later God’ll cut you down.’ Or as the Bible says:

Prov 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

On lap 53 of the 58-lap race Nicholas Latifi crashed his Williams and out came the safety car. Max Verstappen went into the pits for a change of tyres. Lewis stayed out. A controversial and erroneous safety car restart made it a one-lap race. Lewis, with his old tyres, was a sitting duck for the Dutchman, who overtook the Mercedes driver in the last moments of the race, clinching the championship.

Three days later, on 15th December 2021, Lewis Hamilton was knighted by the then Prince of Wales for services to motorsports. Some consolation.

Troubles at Mercedes

The official who made the wrong decision was demoted, but the race result stood. And then it really started to go wrong for Sir Lewis, and for his team-mate George Russell. After a re-design, the Mercedes car which emerged for the 2022 season appeared to have both an engine deficit and suspension problems. From eleven wins and three more podium finishes (that’s second or third) in 2020 and eight wins and a further nine podiums in 2021, the best Lewis could manage last year was nine podium finishes and no wins at all. Since he started racing, there had never been a season when Lewis did not win at least one race.

The car, and Lewis, are faring no better in 2023, with just one podium finish in five races. Lewis finished 6th in Miami, with his Mercedes team-mate George Russell in 4th place. In fairness, in the drivers’ overall standings those positions are reversed.

An upgraded Mercedes is coming for the next race, Emilia Romagna in Italy on Sunday 21st May 2023. However, team boss Toto Wolff is only looking to ‘make inroads into Red Bull’s advantage at the front’ and to be ‘the best of the rest’.

‘We just need to manage everybody’s expectation because we’re talking so much about that upgrade,’ he said. ‘We’re not going to put it down on the track and then drive circles around Red Bull, but it’s going be a good baseline, I think.’

Nasty Piece of Work

How can a car which was so good, suddenly become so bad? Why has it become, in Mr Wolff’s words, such ‘a nasty piece of work’ from one year to the next? Why, for that matter, was Lewis on the receiving end of such a poor decision in Abu Dhabi after such an unexpected late crash in only his third outing in his rainbow helmet? Just what is going on? Is he now under a curse? Well, how can there not be a spiritual dimension to these extraordinary catastrophes? If you disagree, what are you saying? That God would not do that? Or that God could not do that? The Bible says in the book of Ecclesiastes:

Eccl 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

But then again, the Bible promises success to those who follow God’s ways, for example, to Joshua:

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

And to us all, in the very first Psalm, with a warning to Lewis and his LGBTQ friends:

Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psa 1:4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Pray for his repentance

We don’t pray any more in our house for success for Lewis Hamilton. We pray now for his repentance. By choosing to support the enemies of the Lord he has put himself in the camp of the ungodly, the sinners and the scornful. The Bible says, in the book of Numbers:

Numb 10:35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.

Will Sir Lewis Hamilton ever achieve that eighth world drivers’ championship and become the Greatest of All Time, or at least, the One with the Most Titles?

Or will he be like his friend the equally celebrity-woke Serena Williams, desperately chasing that one last title to, in Serena’s case, just take her level with Margaret Court, the Evangelical Christian derided by the press and the glitterati as ‘homophobic’? Serena never made it and has now retired. Margaret Court’s place in history is secure, as is her place in heaven. We read in the psalms:

Psa 146:9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

That is the kind of God he is. On one level, Lewis has entertained the people and made his money. He has enjoyed success. But ambition is built into all of us. It is part of being made in the image of God. I am sure Lewis wants that eighth title. What a pity he has turned his back on the God who gave him his gift and who could give him his final goal if he would only humble himself and repent. The Lord Jesus said:

Matt 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Yes, he is a God of judgment. But he is a God of mercy, and if your own life is being lived in rebellion from God, you too can turn from your wickedness right now, accept the Lord Jesus as your Saviour, your God and your King, and live to the full his risen life.
