I've experienced some pretty harsh racism towards myself in the past, yet sadly due to my skin colour being white if I were to speak up about it now it seems there would be a sudden urge from people to claim "whites don't experience racism" thus no matter how badly I might have experienced something it seems due to my skin colour being white it's ignored, if we want to end racism and protest for BLM then we shouldn't push away those who come forward with their experiences of racism regardless if they're Black, White, Latino or Asian. Ultimately everyone experiences racism some way more than others.

I am not his fan.. but seeing comments that said “get off politics from f1 and sport” is such insanely idiotic thing to be said. Equality is not a politic and it shouldn’t be. It’s a human rights. He is using his platform for a right thing, so sit down it’s not all about you.

Is anybody going to be happy with the latter? Is it possible that dissension and resentment may be seeded where that was none before? Might I suggest posting with caps-lock on is not a good substitute for reasoned debate?

I assume that Lewis and Sky also believe that the NBA and NFL are 'too black' and need more 'diversity' right? They are stirring up racial issues that do not exist, people want to watch racing not watch a rich privileged black guy talk about how 'bad' he has it because of his skin colour.

Do you really think everyone opposing anything Hamilton says it's only due to racism against him? As long as we fight for equality of opportunities count me in, if the focus is: - equality of outcome no matter the reason/s behind. - because of it, believe there is a problem of a certain level as a fact and call or suggest those who just disagree oppresors or enablers of it/them, I'm out. If certain people really think there is more racism as many other people think, they should proove it so more people would join their view. If they just dismiss any disagreement with contempt or even insults, I believe they will increase society division and actually increase the delay for society improvements. And I believe this kind of approach is happening, and not only on the racism topic. It's hard but we have to let aside as much as possible our biases and try to improve society based on research.

I was scared to speak but I did. He is being extremely brave and good for him. And he's actually experienced racism in his place of work, from childhood!! You can see it isn't diverse too, so he isn't just talking rubbish.

Richard they had the same number of wins so the decision came down to most second places, hence why Hamilton was classified 2nd and Alonso 3rd. Either eay, it wad expected to ser Alonso topping a rookie teammate, coming from 2 consecutive double championships and getting into the 2nd/arguably 1st car of the season (Ferrari was a bit more consistent). Hamilton was actually going to be champion until the penultimate race, in which he was leading in Chine but the team left him hanging with slicks on heavy rain for one lap too much, and he made the critical mistake (probably the worst he's ever made, cost him a championship) to go too fast on the pit lane and docked it into the gravel. He would have been champion on his rookie season agaisnt one of F1's all time greats (Alonso) Both of them are my absolute favorite drivers, no question, and I've sern from many interviews - from both - that they have a lot of respect for one another

I don't like some of the negative comments on here towards Hamilton. However, it is a complex issue. I would say money is a very big factor to get in F1 as well. Talent will get you so far but also you need some financial backing to get up to the top as well. Not directing this at Lewis or anyone else, obviously there are diversity issues in F1 but maybe part of it is to do with money rather than racism because of people's skin colour. I think Lewis though is and should be an inspiration for other BAME people to join motorsport. Everyone should want to end racism. However, BLM is another thing entirely.

I think he could also explained more about his comission because that will be interesting to see the outcomes and recommendations. I'm glad he got to sit down at the very least and talk about it but he has shared his experiences of racism before.

everyone should learn about eugenics, transatlantic slave trade colonisation and exploitation of the indigins, to have an in-depth understanding of racism. generally the rich tend to look down on the poor.

Lewis has not fully educated himself on this issue. He may believe his position and fame gives him knowledge but it doesn't. He was even stumbling attempting use those broad generalizations which I think he doesn't actually believe them to his core. Here in America, the issue is criminals in the act of committing crimes and in most cases resisting arrest. Myself, Lewis, and other people of color are typically not at risk of getting into altercations with the police because we don't commit crimes. Black people in America suffer from broken homes which leads to bad behavior. Over 70% of black American children are born to families without both parents. That alone is the biggest detriment to the black community, not racism.
