Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton has praised Ralf Schumacher after the former F1 driver revealed on Monday that he was in a same-sex relationship.
Schumacher, the younger brother of seven-time champion Michael Schumacher, posted a picture with his partner on Instagram, who was later named as Etienne by German actress Carmen Geiss, a close friend of Schumacher’s. “The most beautiful thing in life is when you have the right partner by your side with whom you can share everything,” Schumacher wrote on Instagram. He was previously married to Cora Schumacher and is the father to a son, David.
“Even him taking that step sends such a positive message and liberates others to be able to do the same. We need more and more people to do that.” Hamilton has long been a defender of LGBTQ rights and has received praise for donning a helmet featuring the Pride flag at several races, including at the Qatar and Saudi Arabia Grands Prix. The Mercedes driver spoke about the need for F1 to “do more” in order to make the sport more inclusive following Schumacher’s announcement.
