ANDRETTI and STEWART critical of HAMILTON 's Formula 1 activism

Two Formula One racing legends have questioned Lewis Hamilton’s recent racial activism and believe the point of this campaign is exaggerated.

In both races this season, he is a racer Mercedesa urged his colleagues to kneel in support of the political movement Black Lives Matter, in the race for GP of Styria however, he even showed his fist on the winners stage 'Black Power'.

"I have a lot of respect for Lewis, but the whole world has always accepted and respected him,”Is for The Mercury said Mario Andretti, world champion Formula 1 1978. "But I think the point of this campaign is pretentious. I'm sorry, because I think it's creating a problem that doesn't exist,He added American, which also called into question the fact that Mercedes your race car of the season 2020 painted in black to support the fight against racism. “I don’t know what this will bring."

According to Mario Andretti, Lewis Hamilton creates a problem that does not exist.

Mario Andretti: Politics should not be confused with sport.

80-year-old he adds: "I met racers of different backgrounds and races and I always greeted them with open arms. In motorsport, no matter your color, you have to earn a place in the results and it’s the same for everyone. I wish politics did not interfere with sport. There is a time and place to express your opinion, but what happened to Bubba Wallace in Nascar has changed into something bigger than it should be. It was disproportionate and for no reason, but it happens when you think about politics before everything else," so Andretti.

Stewart: The problem of racism is not as big as Hamilton points out

Jackie Stewart believes the problem with racism is not as big as Lewis Hamilton points out.

Another legend Formula 1 and three-time world champion Sir Jackie Stewart, agrees that the problem of racism is not at all as great as it broadly points out Lewis Hamilton. "It’s pretty loud about these elements, but I don’t think it’s as big a problem as it might seem,”The Scot told Good Morning Britain. "There is no resistance to change if some are smart and good at what they do. They will be accepted in Formula 1,”He concluded Stewart.
