Model defends Lewis Hamilton over champagne soak

As you may all be aware that Lewis Hamilton in a bid to celebrate his Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix victory, sprayed a Chinese model with alcohol. The model in question has defended the Formula 1 world champion.
Liu Siying, a 22-year-old model down played the incident saying “It lasted for only one or two seconds, and I did not think too much about it at all,” She added “I think some foreign media are more sensitive about the topic compared to local media,” The Shanghai woman doused the uproar and accusations of sexism on the British driver saying. “I was just told by my employer to stand on the podium, and that’s what I did.”

Mr Hamilton is yet to make any official response on the controversy.

If you ask me...It looks like a celebratory mode activated..But there is just something not right about the picture!

Scottish Mary Slessor 'aka' Obongawan Okoyong (Queen of Okoyong) of Calabar

Mary Slessor was a Scottish missionary who worked and helped in the community of Calabar and environs in Nigeria. Her work and servitude in the local community paved way for her to assimilate into the people through evangelism and protecting children, through abolition of killing of twins children and protecting women's right. Born in Aberdeen in 1848 and died in Calabar, Nigeria in 1915.
Slessor is commonly made reference to in many situations in Nigeria. There are many monuments named after her due to her works and the humanity she served, amongst which is also a commemorative Clydesdale bank Ten pound note in Scotland.
