Stewart was not as critical of Hamilton’s character, but did say that “he's quite vocal about these elements, I don't think there's as big a problem as there might seem”. It’s clear to the naked eye that Hamilton’s patience is running thin with the sport’s failure to get their anti-racism message correct, and that sadly cast a shadow over what should have been talk of one of his most supreme victories to date. “Today I raced for everyone out there who is pushing to make positive change and fight inequality, however, sadly, as a sport we need to do so much more,” Hamilton wrote on Instagram. We have to stay focussed, keep highlighting the problem and hold those with the power accountable.” Many of Hamilton’s critics ask why we can’t just talk about the racing, yet unless Formula One is able to get it house in order to show it is taking the anti-racism campaign seriously, these uncomfortable questions should not and will not go away.
