🗣️'Sometimes, done the right way, it sparks change.' Hamilton has a clear message for the protestors that took to the track at last year's F1 BritishGP amid fears of a repeat incident next week.
F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali called their actions “completely irresponsible and dangerous” and said their actions “put lives in danger”Similar protests have continued since then at sporting events and cultural institutions, and thus there are fears of a repeat at Silverstone next weekend.
“I welcome protesters or activists,” he said when asked by Autosport for his thoughts on possible action at Silverstone. “But that sparks conversation, that sparks dialogue, and it often helps. Sometimes, done the right way, it sparks change, and we need more change.“We need to become more sustainable. We need to be more inclusive. There are all these things that we need to do more of, and it's moving at such a fast pace, the industry, that sometimes some of those things fall off.
Hamilton also stressed that he didn’t want to see a repeat of the crowd incidents at the 2022 Austrian GP, when there were reports of harassment.
