Lewis Hamilton, sponsor Tommy Hilfiger on the same page in supporting 'Black Lives Matter'

Black Lives Matter protests continue to create intense civil unrest across the United States after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25. The death of George Floyd along with those of Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery earlier in the year has seen many icons across different fields of work share their tributes and take a stand against racism and support the Black Lives Matter movement. F1 champion Lewis Hamilton raised his voice on the racing community's silence following Floyd's killing and he would be glad to see his sponsor Tommy Hilfiger having also condemned the social injustice.

Lewis Hamilton slams F1 community's silence, supports Black Lives Matter movement

Before Tommy Hilfiger expressed their thoughts on the current anti-racism fight, their star attraction Lewis Hamilton also expressed his thoughts on the brutal killing of George Floyd. In an Instagram post on Sunday, the six-time world champion said that no one from the F1 community has raised their voice in support for George Floyd. Lewis Hamilton added that he is the only one of colour in what is a white-dominated sport and said that he hoped that the F1 community would stand alongside them.

Hamilton earlier had spoken about the lack of racial diversity in F1, suggesting that he's the only 'black' driver in Formula 1 since breaking out on the scene in 2008. Lewis Hamilton also stated that for the situation to improve, the leaders need to take a call to make a change.
