F1 driver Sir Lewis Hamilton says he does not think 'older voices' should be given a platform in the sport. Read more here:
Without mentioning Piquet or Ecclestone by name, Hamilton said:"I don't know why we are continuing to give these older voices a platform because they're speaking upon our sport and we're looking to go somewhere completely different. And it's not representative, I think, of who we are as a sport now and where we're planning to go."
"They're speaking upon our sport and we're looking to go somewhere completely different. If we're looking to grow in the US, other countries, South Africa, we need to look to the future and give the younger people a platform, who are more representative of today's time. "But I'm still here, I'm still standing strong, I'm focused on my work and really trying to push for diversity and inclusion in our organisation."Asked if he had lost respect for those"older voices", he said:"I've always tried to take the high road, I've always tried to be respectful to these individuals.
"I love how Michelle Obama says 'when they go low, go high' so I try to continue to do that, I'm inspired by people like that.
