Lewis Hamilton is the only black driver in the history of F1. He is at the heart of multiple movements to show his support against racism. With that being said, let's take a look at Hamilton's thoughts about NFL star, Colin Kaepernick's certain action which made headlines all over the sport's world.
When F1 returned after the pandemic, Hamilton understood the part he had to play in this movement. With no hesitation, he put on the ‘Black Lives Matter’ t-shirt ahead of the Grand Prix and led from the front.
“I spoke to him before the US Grand Prix and I had a helmet made in red with his number on the top. But I was silenced and told to back down. I supported that decision which I regret. So it was important for me to make sure I played my part this time,” told Hamilton.
