Two-time Grand Prix winner will not take a knee this afternoon despite calls for F1 drivers to do so, but says that does not mean he is ‘less committed than others’ in opposing racism

Hamilton hints at proof of racism in Formula One

That's o.k. just bury your racism at work and on the streets.

Good on him, it's a humiliating and demeaning virtue-signalling act.

one sport that can be up and running as not affected by social distancing..tennis and golf should be ok too...

Why would anyone, with any sense, want to bend their knee in support of a Marxist, anti-Semitic organisation that wants to destroy society, defund the police, and release all criminals. Terrorists by any other name.

Whatever happened to freedom of speech/choice/opinion? Leave him alone for his choice.

Brilliant!

Good, nobody should be forced or bullied into anything 👍😷

The best ever !

Lewis is not wrong to request action but he is preaching to a bunch of overpaid overrated spoilt athletes. How many apprenticeships, engineers, designers etc. are BAME. Formula 1 and the rest of the motorsports industry (40,000) have not employed BAME in enough numbers.

Kneeling is not a requirement and the driver is not obliged to do so.

Whatever the merits of the BLM knee gesture. Lewis Hamilton does not have the right to demand or even in some respect request that drivers take the knee. Some will see calling the investigation of racism within motor sports the 'Hamilton Commission' an arrogant antagonism in F1.

Top man

JohnWoodbridge6 If he does not wish to take the knee that is his choice and it should be respected

👍👍👍

Good for him.

Lewis Hamilton always acts and thinks like a spoilt brat. Why doesn’t he launch a BLM protest in Monaco...where he lives a life of luxury and doesn’t pay income tax!

Good. Stand firm.

Legend

JohnWoodbridge6 Fucking brilliant! Fuck Hamilton!

Good for him, I wouldn't kneel to the diversity mob either.

Good man.

I don't think there is a right or wrong way in all of this you just have to do what you believe in. You will not be looked on any differently because you don't or shouldn't

Fair play! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

👏👏👏

TheRenewALL Good man!! Well done

Sensible man, those that do, if any, would have probably been pressured into doing it.

Good

You’ve got to wonder how much trouble he has caused for himself. A lot will take the knee to avoid this.

Good, none of them should, who the fuck does Hamilton think he is pressuring them to do so.

Gap1950 Bravo 👏 Ferrari is now my team for the rest of the season well done 👍

Good man 👏🏻

Good. Why should he?

Respect.👍👏

Max Verstappen ja Charles Leclerc eivät aio polvistua ennen Itävallan F1-osakilpailua!

Well done anyone who STANDS up against these anarchists 👏

Good.

Ironic that those who benefit from capitalism (F1 drivers and teams) are trying to persuade us to take a knee to an organisation whose primary aim is to destroy capitalism.

Good for him

👍👍👍

Well done that man. Hamilton can f*** off.

Good on him

It's his choice but it'll make him look like a petty little fascist.

Privileged ass

Naive BLM stooges: 'RACIST!!' Everyone else: 'Good on him. The BLM movement is not what virtue signalling corporations think it is & no-one should ever be forced to promote a movement they don't support.' LewisHamilton - take note.

I'm with him bub

Good utter nonsense

That's fine. Everyone is welcome to their own choice. You don't have to take a knee or join in at a march to show your support. Hamilton can not shame and pressure other drivers into doing something they do not want to do.

a_manofkent Good.

Now, the Austrians always have known that the international jew is the world's foremost problem. He knows who sponsors BLM, and who spinsors abortion. I hope this guy wins today.

Good! This nonsense needs to end now, before it gets seriously out of hand and people start killing each other. It's being fuelled by the ScumMedia and you are complicit.

Well done and stay strong. They've beat you down to make you feel inferior and complicit. Stand strong knowing there as millions of us in support of you.

London19721 Great...hope Max does the same.

It's good to see someone standing up to Lewis Hamilton's bullying Taking the knee is nothing but virtue signalling

Good. BLM has put back race relations 30 years.

Fair play

I do agree.

Just take the damn knee. It means you endorse nothing but acknowledging systemic racism exists and is problematic.

Good on him 👍

Good for him 👏👏👏👏👏

Good for him. Why anybody woulf support Black Lives Matter is beyond me. The BLM organisation has little to do with racial inequality, just look at their twitter account.

A Man Of Sense. His Employers BETTER stand by him!

Not good for business. Look at any F1 related tweet and you know why
