Bernie [Ecclestone] est hors de ce sport, d'une autre génération, mais c'est exactement ce qui ne va pas."}}" lang="fr">I am so sad and disappointed to read these comments, wrote the British driver of the Mercedes team on Instagram. Bernie [Ecclestone] is out of this generation’s sport, but that’s exactly what’s wrong.

Hamilton called the words of Ecclestone, who led the Formula 1 championship for 30 years,ignorant and uneducated.

They show us how far we have to go, as a society, before real equality is possible, continued the six-time F1 world champion, very involved on social networks in the Black Lives Matter movement.

Hamilton is currently the only black driver who holds a steering wheel in the Formula 1 championship.

Je ne vais pas arrêter de pousser pour créer un futur inclusif dans notre sport, avec les mêmes opportunités pour tout le monde (...)

I will not stop pushing to create an inclusive future in our sport, with the same opportunities for everyone (…) I will continue to use my voice to give voice to those who have not, he assured.

F1 denounced the words of its ex-boss on Friday.

At a time when unity is necessary against racism and inequality, we completely disagree with what Bernie Ecclestone said, which has no place in Formula 1 or in society., she wrote in a statement.

Now far from the paddocks, Ecclestone founded in 1987 the company Formula One Management, which is responsible for the promotion and dissemination of F1 around the world. He managed this company until 2017, the year of its acquisition by the Liberty Media group.

Asked a few days ago by CNN about the creation of a diversity commission to attract more black people into motorsport, an initiative from Hamilton, Ecclestone don’t think it does anything good or bad to formula 1.
