This from @LewisHamilton</a> on the Bernie IV. Maybe it was a valuable interview if it brings these sorts of words and statements from people. Change is coming whether people like it or not. That is the positive from this. #F1</a> #BLM</a> pic.twitter.com/xw8y43KQm6</a></p>n

HAMILTON SPEAKS OUT</strong></strong></p>
Lewis Hamilton has had his say on Bernie Ecclestone’s controversial views on the Black Lives Matter movement.</p>
</p>
He said: “Bernie is out of the sport and a different generation but this is exactly what is wrong – ignorant and uneducated comments which show us how far we as a society need to go before real equality can happen.</p>
“It makes complete sense to me now that nothing was said or done to make our sport more diverse or to address the racial abuse I received throughout my career.</p>
“If someone who has run the sport for decades has such a lack of understanding of the deep routed issues we as black people deal with every day, how can we expect all the people who work under him to understand. It starts at the top.</p>
“Now the time has come for change. I will not stop pushing to create an inclusive future for our sport with equal opportunity for all.</p>
“To create a world that provides equal opportunity for minorities. I will continue to use my voice to represent those who don’t have one, and to speak for those who are underrepresented to provide an opportunity to have a chance in our sport.”</p>

GOOD MORNING FORMULA ONE FANS,</strong></p>n

While generally supportive of Hamilton attending the demonstration in Hyde Park last week, he then added that sometimes black people are more racist than white people.</p>n
Ecclestone said: “This last campaign he’s doing for Black people is wonderful. He’s doing a great job and it’s people like that — easily recognisable — that people listen to.</p>n
But commenting on the world champ’s Hamilton Commission, he said: “I don’t think it’s going to do anything bad or good for Formula One.</p>n
“It’ll just make people think which is more important. I think that’s the same for everybody.</p>n
“People ought to think a little bit and think: ‘Well, what the hell. Somebody’s not the same as White people and Black people should think the same about White people.'</p>n
“In lots of cases, Black people are more racist than what White people are.”</p>n
Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton reckons this will be the “most difficult” Formula 1 season he has ever faced.</p>n
He said: “We are preparing the best way we can for what is going to be the most difficult season.</p>n
