Lewis Hamilton did not criticize drivers, but entire F1 industry | Motorsport

sport">“I see those who remain silent, some of them are among the biggest stars, but you remain silent in the midst of injustice,” wrote Hamilton, among others. “I have not yet seen any sign from my industry, which is of course a sport dominated by white people. I am one of the few colored people, but I am still alone. ”

sport">In the run-up to the start of the new Formula 1 season, Hamilton was asked about his proverbial pointing finger. “People saw it as if I was addressing the drivers. But that was not the case. It was aimed at the entire industry, ”said the 35-year-old Briton. “It’s something I’ve been aware of for a long time and I’ve never seen anyone do anything about it.”

sport">Hamilton appears in a black suit during the Austrian GP and will drive a black car. The car has the message ‘End Racism’. “Now is no longer the time to be silent. This is a time to help spread the message, the time to get together. We need to do more as a sport and as an international motorsport federation. ”
