LONDON: Six times Formula One motor racing world champion Lewis Hamilton said on Tuesday he felt"completely overcome with rage" as he urged people to speak out against racism and stand up for justice.
"I have felt so much anger, sadness and disbelief in what my eyes have seen," added the Mercedes driver."I am completely overcome with rage at the sight of such blatant disregard for the lives of our people. The injustice that we are seeing our brothers and sisters face all over the world time and time again is disgusting, and MUST stop."
