LONDON: Seven times Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton made a personal pledge of £20 million on Tuesday as he launched a new foundation, Mission 44, supporting under-represented young people in Britain.

"Mission 44 represents my commitment to create real change within this community," said the Briton, who could celebrate a record-extending 100th career win at this weekend's Hungarian Grand Prix. Mercedes have launched a joint charitable initiative, Ignite, with Hamilton to support greater diversity in motorsport. That will sit under the Mission 44 umbrella.

"The findings of The Hamilton Commission and its recommendations have provided us with a fantastic basis to begin our work," said Hamilton.
