- ‘It’s good he is up front on it in a sport dominated by white males’
- Mercedes principal hints at possible signing of Sebastian Vettel
The Mercedes team principal, Toto Wolff, has praised Lewis Hamilton as an ambassador for Formula One in speaking out against racism. Wolff said he knew that race is an issue Hamilton has always had to deal with and that it has informed the driver’s anger at the killing of George Floyd.
Hamilton has been vocal on Instagram over the past three days. He condemned his fellow drivers for their silence on the events in the US and on Tuesday wrote an impassioned denunciation of racism, stating that he had been “overcome with rage” after Floyd’s death. Wolff said Hamilton, who is the only black driver in F1, was making a difference in the fight against racial inequality.
