In a shocking string of comments, the 89-year-old said: “In lots of cases, black people are more racist than what white people are.” Hamilton has become a vocal supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement – attending a protest in Hyde Park this month. Protests have been held across the UK in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, with the statue of slave trader Edward Colston pulled down in Bristol.“For me, and so many others around the world, seeing George Floyd’s murder triggered a sense of deep pain, anguish and frustration,” Hamilton said.
After making successful investments in property he returned to motorsport in a management role making his first entry into Formula 1 and was involved in team ownership until 1978 when he formed the Constructors Association in 1974 and became its chief executive four years later.
