Formula One's governing body is considering whether Lewis Hamilton broke any rules in wearing a T-shirt with"Arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor" on it before and after Sunday's Tuscan Grand Prix.
"We are giving this issue active consideration," said a spokesman for the governing International Automobile Federation .Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman, was killed by police officers who burst into her apartment in Louisville, Kentucky, in March. Hamilton has regularly worn a 'Black Lives Matter' T-shirt when taking a knee in an officially-sanctioned anti-racism protest before the start of races this season.Sunday's shirt was a departure from that, with a photograph of Taylor on the back and 'Say her name'. Japanese tennis player Naomi Osaka recently wore a face mask with Taylor's name at the U.S. Open.Race stewards did not open any investigation into Hamilton's actions at Italy's Mugello circuit.
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff also made clear he had no problem with whatever Hamilton chose to wear.
