Hamilton feels responsibility to push for more F1 diversity

The Hindu  

Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton feels it’s his responsibility as a global star to keep pushing for more diversity in his profession and beyond. "I’ve got a platform and I think it would be irresponsible of me not to utilize that to help educate people, to help educate myself and really push for accountability,” Hamilton said on Thursday in a video released by his team. “Within all the brands I work with, within the industry I work with.” "Because we are the world champions, we are the best team and we need to shine our light as best as possible to encourage the other teams to want to do the same,” Hamilton said. We need as many voices as we can to push for change.” "It is an expensive sport and I think that’s definitely an underlying factor.
