Lewis Hamilton has said he does not feel comfortable about racing in Saudi Arabia's grand prix this weekend

"There's changes that need to be made. For example women's rights of being able to drive [legally] in 2018, it's how they are policed. Some of the women are still in prison from driving many, many years ago.Formula 1 boss Stefano DomenicaliHe told Sky Sports:"As soon as these countries choose to be under the spotlight Formula 1 is bringing, there is no excuse.

Four-times world champion Sebastian Vettel said it was clear"some things are not going the way they should".Vettel said:"For sure there are shortcomings and they have to be addressed but I still feel the more powerful tool is the positive weapon."

We Muslims have a divine guidance for life & we get our morals from it, Unlike others who live on Subjective Man-made rules that differs between people, Therefore if someone agree to Homosexuality others might agree to Incestry or Beastiality & see that it’s their right..

Like he won't race. It's all about the money. What about other countries like China and Russia, Lewis Just stick to driving a keep stum.

But your there

Don’t go then , simple , keep your opinion to yourself while over there it’s not your country you can’t change the world

But he will still be in 🇸🇦 racing in a car with a sponsor whose cladding was on Grenfell Tower He is a virtue signaling hypocrite

No one is forcing you my brother to race there... Likewise you con not force a nation to accept your way of thinking.... Just keep mute, go race and leave... Thanks. Hope Mercedes wins.

So many idiotic responses. It is possible to do both, voice your concern and stop do your job. 😔

Then make a stand and don’t race. Only proves these guys JUST care about $.

But he will because it’s all about the money 💴

I missed your protest about Qatar.

🤣 Honestly?! Do you think the authorities are going to put a hand on him Grandstanding

Has he pulled out of the race?

Laughable

He still went. So his principles were clearly compromised by the money therefore morally inept.

But will do it anyway

Empty words again. Means absolutely fuck all if he does nothing about it. If he’s that bothered about it then he’d pull out of the race but he won’t £££££

If he's not comfortable, then don't race

Don’t do it then

I wonder why Lewis what have you said !!!!

It won’t bother footballers a bit 😂

I'm sure he can afford to miss one weekends work to prove that

He will though, because of the cash. If he makes a little squeak about it now that should appease the critics while not annoying the Saudis.

Don't then 🤷‍♂️

So he should stand his ground & not go!

Well done Lewis👏👏👏

I could care less what this race baiter thinks!

Just wait until he finds out about his new sponsors

Beckham will be waving the chequered flag

Well fuck of then I'm sure they will manage without you

Saying he doesn’t feel comfortable is no good. He shouldn’t do it. He has proven discrimination against whites and certainly is not accepted as a championship driver by decent white English folk. Driving in this car will serve to isolate him from many other nationalities.

Easy answer don’t race then

Simple don’t race then

Then he should pull out on morale grounds but he won’t because of the money that would be lost.

Excuses already

Then don't race.

Then don’t race !

The fact he's spoken out is something. Yet the 'whataboutism' and 'that's not enough' crowd are quick to pipe up

He could take a Bible there

Don’t want to get rear ended over there ….

He should come out of the closet then.

If he’s so much against it then why is he still racing ?
