Grenfell survivors urge Mercedes F1 team to end sponsorship

Lewis Hamilton on track during the F1 Grand Prix of Qatar at Losail International Circuit on November 21 2021 in Doha.British housing minister Michael Gove and survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire have called for Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes Formula One team to reconsider a sponsorship deal with a firm linked to the 2017 London disaster.

Survivors group Grenfell United said in a letter to team boss Toto Wolff published on Twitter that the partnership announcement was"truly shocking" and urged Mercedes to end the relationship. "I will be writing to Mercedes to ask them to reconsider. The Grenfell community deserves better," he said.

'Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes Formula One team' is a massively misleading title and completely untrue. The wording here implies that Lewis Hamilton owns the Mercedes Formula One team, which he does not. Also using Hamilton's name implies he had any say in the deal. He does not.
