« It's more than a question of language, says Lewis Hamilton. These archaic mentalities must change and have no place in our sport. I have been surrounded by and targeted by these attitudes my entire life. I had time to learn. The time has come to act."
It's more than language. These archaic mindsets need to change and have no place in our sport. I've been surrounded by these attitudes and targeted my whole life. There has been plenty of time to learn. Time has come for action.
