Lewis Hamilton has attended a Black Lives Matter peaceful protest in London's Hyde Park and urged people to 'keep pushing' for change

in the US last month, called on the F1 community to speak out. His message prompted several drivers and the sport itself to issue anti-racism messages.Black Lives Matter protests for fourth weekend"Speak out to help us bring awareness to the injustices and prejudices that black people and people of colour face on a daily basis, and have been facing for hundreds of years.

Hamilton's appearance at the protest comes after he launched a research project called The Hamilton Commission aimed at improving diversity in the motorsport industry - with F1's world champion saying that"the time for platitudes and token gestures is over". "It is not enough to point to me, or to a single new black hire, as a meaningful example of progress. Thousands of people are employed across this industry and that group needs to be more representative of society.

Wow lots of triggered people on here. Keep up the good work Lewis 😂

Big deal, it's all bull, these rallies just make it worse, nobody gave a toss until some shitty yank cop killer Mr Lloyd. This crap needs to be put to rest, it's doing more harm than good. I love how all these rich twats jump on the band waggon to Hamilton has really suffered.

Twat.

He lost my respect doing the Black Power salute. Many football players have done it too. The last time I saw that 1968 Olympics. They should think about what they do and say a bit more. But having someone who avoids paying tax here attempting to lecture us is a bit rich!!

Will he cut his sponsorship with Mercedes

Is there room on that bandwagon for 1 more?

Says man who works for firm who thrived on slave labour

Pushing for change ? Said the multi millionaire black formula one racing driving. You couldn’t make this shit up 😂

Storing up trouble I call it

Still, when he's not virtue signalling he's happy to take the German money. If he feels that passionate why doesn't he drive his Mercedes into Bristol Harbour?. Made all his ££ from a predominantly white industry but all of a sudden he's blm..

What a hypocrite...

Keep pushing for change.......indeed......

Really Now get back to tax dodging.

Stick to the day job Lewis

Wow that's good of him .🙄🤐

get in there lewis

People need to ensure they are not part of the problem. Racism is wrong in any form but making money from it is also wrong. People in glass houses etc, Lewis you need to examine who gives you your wealth, yes your a fantastic driver funded by racism and slaves.

He will not get universal support if people believe blm are a group who wish to create trouble in uk

Whoopee do

Please could you have a dislike button you might get a better reflection of peoples thoughts

Pay your taxes Hamilton

Why is the rich do all the whingeing how tuff it's been for them let's see some real people who have spent there lives in poverty and had no say and will die the same way

Get stuffed Hamilton

Ask LewisHamilton about this and the jewish slave labour in the 2nd world war, as that is a little closer to home for him

Has he quit Mercedes to show his support yet, considering their history? 🤷‍♂️

And that’s the way to do it . Uses his profile and personal experiences to raise the issue in a sensible but powerful statement .

Well done Lewis ya tax dodger👍

Has the Millionaire Marxist LewisHamilton announced when he's dumping MercedesBenz yet? Because I am getting really confused. So, it's not 'all colour' Nazi Slavery or Modern Slavery. It's just 200 year old 'Black' Slavery? BlackLivesMatter Hypocrite Sheep

Will the black community stop drug running and stabbing each other, that would be a change for the better

Hypocrite LewisHamilton always pops up to push the latest agenda.. first climate change, whilst owning a private jet and jetting all over the world for work. Now its BLM, whilst taking huge sums of money from white created capitalist companys

You vote in this country for change not push your weight around

While he still drives for Mercedes(With the logo showing) and still is sponsored by Hugo Boss, which is bit ironic, that one built cars for hitler and while the one dressed Hitler and the SS.

Bloody racist system is keeping this poor man oppressed.

Privileged Hamilton advises?

An oppressed muti millionaire

Us brits don’t like him anymore.... wonder if he shags kids to

What change eh how's that going to happen overnight we have other pressing matters not just blacks

Lewis Hamilton has a classic disgruntled employee outlook. I can’t think how he could be more insulting about the motor racing industry & those in it, implying he is the only man who hasn’t had everything handed to him on a plate whereas anyone who won anything before him has.

The meltdown on here is comical.

White privilege 🙄🙄

There really isn't anything better a person of fame could do than trying to bring about some positive changes in society.

I think he should have called for togetherness !!

Jealous rightwing keyboard warriors triggered....in 5....4....3....2...1

My heart goes out to Lewis ... so oppressed 🙄🙄

I’d like LewisHamilton to attend some protests in Atlanta

Did he pay his Income Tax whilst back in the UK 🇬🇧

LewisHamilton is doing it because he feels compelled. All of the millions of white earned dollars resting in the bank gaining interest

...or keep.pushing your tax return

What does “keep pushing for change” mean?

Politics has NO PLACE IN SPORT. That’s COERCION ... BRAINWASHING ...MANIPULATION AND AN ABUSE OF POWER!

Полностью с вами с согласна

do you have a list of hypocrites as you like to post one weekly

Let it fucking go now !!

Oh the Irony. He may be able to drive cars but thick as pig poo.

As he lives outside of the UK did he arrive before or after 14 day quarantine was imposed and if it was after why is he exempt from it or is he going to be arrested? pritipatel MattHancock

Still driving for Mercedes then and you now know the history typical rich tit

Happy to take whites money though,so why doesnt he give it all back to help with change

It's always comical when I see Sky's alt-right readers get to be butt hurt over these things lol

Is he still taking money of HUGOBOSS

While he’s in the country do him for the tax he owes

Well done Lewis... Well done CHAMP. 🤜🏿🤛🏾

Is he still claiming to be British ? Is that possible after not living in the country for years and paying no UK tax

Then jumps back in his mercedes to head off home.. paid for by a company that is steeped in controversy ..you ate the ultimate hypocrit Hamilton!

Ya poor Lewis, the struggle is real, how dose he keep goin..

What change

Tax dodger.

Multi millionaire F1 driver thinks his life doesn’t matter 🤣

Pushing for communism? No thanks.
