Lewis Hamilton Sees Bright and Diverse Future For Changing Formula One

News 18  

Seven-times Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton says he is confident his sport has a bright and more diverse future but he will not take his foot off the accelerator in pushing for change. “Already it has sparked a change but it’s really important that it’s not just symbolism, it’s important that it’s not just words… that we take real action to make change, to make this a more diverse sport.” Hamilton, who made his F1 debut in 2007, recalled looking around the Australian Grand Prix paddock in Melbourne at the start of last year and posting images on Instagram of the startling lack of diversity he saw. “We’ve all got to stay on top to make sure that change really follows.” Hamilton this year set up a commission of experts to help increase the representation of Black people in British motorsport, while Formula One has rolled out an anti-racism campaign. He said that 2020, racing through the COVID-19 pandemic, had been “the hardest year for everyone” but the movement for change and using his platform to promote racial justice and equal rights had been a “great driver in the background.” “I think the sport’s realised that it has a powerful voice and a place in pushing for better living standards for everyone around the world,” said Hamilton.
