I read this a little earlier (breaking my golden rule here of not linking to Sky)

A key quote from Andretti in the piece above : In the same interview, Andretti also said that the investigation into a 'noose' found in black NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace garage - which was eventually discovered to be a door-pull - "became bigger than it should be" and that he wished "politics didn't get mixed up with sport".

It is interesting, I find myself a bit conflicted on this and can see both sides. One part of me says Lewis Hamilton has a massive "reach" in terms of influencing and possibly changing people's attitudes and he should be vocal about what he believes in, the other part of me agrees with Andretti in that I think politics and sport are two separate things. Nothing against Lewis using his huge social media following to get his message across but I wish the gestures on a race weekend would stop. Basically I think he should continue to pursue the cause because he feels so passionately about it, however, keep it away from his day job as I can see it becoming a distraction and it is seemingly creating divided opinion. I fully support what he is standing for, by the way, just not convinced about the methods.

I would be interested to hear other peoples views on this one.
