Inside Hamilton's supercar collection, including crashed Pagani, LaFerrari and McLaren P1Bahrain Grand Prix 2023 date: UK start time, qualification and how to watch season opener'Netflix are c****' - Drive to Survive's funniest moments from Tsunoda to Steiner's door“I think for me, I’m always saying that we need more empathy and compassion in the world. Everyone.
“We’re all human beings and there are all of these things that people find challenging in different countries, different governments, people with opinions, social media and different things. “We have this platform and I feel a huge responsibility, I’m not just a Formula 1 driver and could just have success and go about my life. “This is a platform to really spark change, spark conversation which is really the beginning of those things, sparking uncomfortable conversations and then holding people accountable who have been happy with status quo in the past which has held people down, which has made people not included and it frustrates me and goes into that fear thing.
“We can make change and I want to be part of that and making people feel more included, motorsport or any sport or business shouldn’t be able to continue with not being diverse.
“It is so important that someone speaks out on it and I don’t care if I don’t win another race, I’m going to speak on those things whether they like it or not.”
