Sir Lewis Hamilton has said he had 'nothing to do' with the Mercedes F1 team's partnership deal with Kingspan - an insulation firm linked to the Grenfell Tower tragedy
On Friday, Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team principal Toto Wolff apologised to Grenfell survivors and bereaved relatives, and thanked campaign group Grenfell United for an offer to meet following its condemnation of the deal with Kingspan.Responding to them in a letter, Mr Wolff wrote:"The tragedy of the Grenfell Tower fire was beyond imaginable to me, and it should never have happened.
Mr Wolff said that before concluding the partnership, his team"engaged with Kingspan in depth to understand what role their products played in what happened at Grenfell". Meanwhile, Communities Secretary Michael Gove said the government could amend advertising rules on racing cars if Mercedes does not pull the partnership with Kingspan.An inquiry is examining how Grenfell Tower came to be coated in flammable materials which contributed to the spread of fire which killed 72 people in June 2017.
