- Schumacher ‘wasn’t comfortable coming out in past’
- Hamilton believes his on-grid protests forced change
Lewis Hamilton has praised Ralf Schumacher’s decision to announce he was in a same-sex relationship but insisted Formula One still has a long way to go in encouraging further diversity and inclusion.
Earlier this week former F1 driver Schumacher, the brother of seven-time champion Michael, came out on social media but he is one of only four drivers to have done so since the championship began in 1950, highlighting the paucity of LGBTQ+ representation in the sport.
