Great work by Lewis on racism awareness. He put his career on the line for this and it has turned out well so far. Credit also to Mercedes for their support and social responsibility

[@chiquita9896]

Got an abundance of respect for Lewis. To rise from humble beginnings,his dad working 4 jobs, his achievements have been truly outstanding

@ Camilla so true and he uses his clout well. He is such a classy and generous guy!

[@tarcher2160]

Congrats Lewis, you deserve all the blessings you have, you actually using your platform to make changes and not just sitting on your wealth acting like the world is all daisy

[@weignerleigner3037]

Maybe he should listen to his own advice on racism.

[@clareggreen2329]

Amazing Lewis Hamilton we are behind you all the way brother thanks for all the things you are doing to change the world. God bless you Lewis

[@Camplou2]

Excellent interview, Lewis is a beacon of the sport

[@rosilenesousa361]

I can say for a lot of people that I know that not only black people are proud of Lewis and his courage ( even under fire, I add). Everyone that has a sense of justice or respect for others is capable to see he is fighting for necessary changes that will be good even for the ones that can't understand it by now. The support of Mercedes cannot be forgot, too, cause it's huge and beautiful!

You and BLM are defending career criminals who wouldn´t follow basic police instructions and therefore these "victims" are dead. In the mean time BLM has no problem using violence, rioting and killing to fight "racism" while burning down their own cities and attacking innocent people. The same BLM who can´t accept the phrase "All Lives Matter". There is only dangerous challenge in world right now: The violent, marxist and racist BLM-movement and it´s ignorant and racist supporters.

[@kp6871]

@@srenjrgensen1468 oh please Trump's own agencies says White Supremacist violence is one of the greatest threat the nation face. They come into the peaceful rallies to start violence so they can turn around and say oh the whole movement is about violence. Projecting is one of their best tools. "All lives Matter" Since When? Black people have been dying in this country for over 400 yrs. Hypocritical much...

[@judgegiant8951]

So three out of 22. Still not a very diverse sport is it.

[@fireinthenight9028]

@@judgegiant8951 not many poor kids drive these cars. let them!!!!!

[@weignerleigner3037]

It’s not a diverse sport even tho the drivers come from all over the world. Finland, Germany, Spain, Britain, France, China, Netherlands, etc. diversity isn’t just about race and race doesn’t equal diversity. F1 is about merit and if black people want to drive race cars and become lewis hamilton there is nothing stopping them only than their own driving ability. There’s no Americans in the sport driving, does that mean f1 is racist towards Americans? Liberal logic makes no sense nowadays.

[@marcopeel]

Broi am so not totally disagree with you. There is some truth in what you are saying. Racing is a bit special. That is why he is talking about the broader area of engineering. He wants to understand why this phenomenon exists along racial lines. Once there is this understanding, companies would be coopted to help. There is an appreciation that the structures of societies enable this. The question then is how do you dismantle them? No part of society should feel excluded by others or circumstances; even though admittedly you can’t legislate against this. You can only advocate and campaign and try to change heart and minds. It is alright to be apathetic to this plight I guess, but it’s problematic to be openly against diversity. It’s not Enough to be non racist , it’s important to also be anti racist

[@weignerleigner3037]

@@marcopeel lol what structure in society? There’s no laws preventing anybody from doing anything. In America we actually have laws that put black people in the front of the line for university applications and jobs. Maybe black people don’t want to be engineers. I don’t want to be an engineer lol. People vary across all spectrums. Liberals see any discrepancy between white and black and say it’s racism. But they do t when it’s the other way around. There’s more black people in the nba, but no one would ever say that’s because of racism. But if the nba was mostly white they 100% would. There are very powerful people trying to use black people as pawns for a broader goal and idk what that is but if your a person with any due diligence you would research these claims and find that they are all verifiably false. “America is made for white people” Then why is the highest earners in terms of median income Indian Americans? Why do Ghana Americans make more than whites if America is white supremist? Why are the most successful groups of immigrants that come to this country Africans? Why are the countries that are the most diverse considered the most racist? You should really research this topic man you’d be very surprised to find out that most of the things the media tells you are lies. And btw not even all black people buy into this nonsense. You would never find a Jew in 1940’s Germany that was pro holocaust, but in America you find a lot of blacks that don’t support blm or the far left movement and love America and what it stands for. How could that be if America is so white supremist and racist? Also if your for a free society what right do you have to tell someone how to think? If someone is racist that has nothing to do with anyone they aren’t hurting anyone they just don’t like a certain group of people. I agree there shouldn’t be discrimination in govt or any public good but in terms of common civilians they can believe whatever they want. Luckily most people aren’t racist so people who are racist would only be hurting themselves by espousing their ideas. Kkk is a perfect example, they are racist, and they have no support and are condemned by everyone who isn’t in the kkk, which is 99.999999% of the population.

[@marcopeel]

@@weignerleigner3037 this is nonsense. The things you point out night we’ll be tre. But you can jot deny the impact racism has had on society. Are you in denial of that? Secondly I did state that the laws are not always the issue, but often it’s the structures that make it difficult. You do not want to be a an engineer, but it’s unlikely that all black peoples in the UK do not want to be engineers. Racism of old has put into place hurdles that make it difficult for black succeed. You would be either a moron or a heartless person to deny this. What nonsense are you spewing in your last paragraph. Yes you can’t force anyone to stop being racist. You can either call them out / educate them or become a racist apologist as you are now. You say I should educate myself on the subject; I think you should do that and then gain some level of empathy on top.

[@weignerleigner3037]

@@marcopeel lol your talking all emotion and no facts. The fact is black people who want to be engineers are engineers. I’ve personally know a black dude who’s an engineer. The problem is you have no observable evidence your whole theory is predicated on these invisible racist people who somehow put the black man down. That’s a conspiracy theory bro. What structures are you talking about and who in these structures are committing these crimes? There’s already discrimination laws, so please explain to me what these structures are and how they work and who is operating them?

There‘s a Mexican in F1 did you realized? Or ...... you forgot??? Think racism is also something inside every individual‘s head so it is what we do what reflects our preferences. Decision makers have this in theirs at the time of choosing....

I just don't like Lewis Hamilton his personality he acts like he is an American rap star with terrible dress sense. He is British but has never been accepted by the British public in a way Frank Bruno was who was loved and likeable. There is something about Hamilton that is hard to like. And all this nonsense about taking the knee just get in the car and do what your paid to do and maybe pay some tax in the UK.

[@andersoncruz5683]

you probably dont like him because he is black

[@TheTororist]

I find that comment quite telling. Since his debut in 07 I've heard that from a section of fans. "I just can't put my finger on why I dislike this fellow" Always an unconscious bias. Always a ridiculous double standard for anything Lewis does. Its very obvious for those of us who've been on the receiving end

[@jastallion45]

Because Bruno never made you think, he was happy to play the typical black role, entertain white people, suck up the racial discrimination, and keep smiling. Lewis said f### that. I got black ancestory, he sees how black people and others less than, have been treated historical then and now.. And he is using his platform to make racist, bias people uncomfortable. we throw up our black fist with you Lewis.
