I will echo what I said in motorsport, there is nothing wrong with wanting to continue to win the seventh, that’s a big deal naturally, but by being quite vocal towards other drivers about not doing enough he has kind of shot himself in the foot I feel, if you’re going to talk about others then on a huge moment like today when many other black stars are saying “no we are not doing our sport today“ or over the near future, it would appear to come across a bit hypocritical. I say make your choice Lewis but don’t condemn others for theirs.

I agree sport and politics are dangerous when put together but also they can be powerful and in my opinion Lewis could of sat this race out and, still easily clawed the lead back (I know that’s not 100% guaranteed) but can you imagine the message that would send! and in the history books he would of gone down in a far more positive way and not just about his racing pedigree. 

It seems a bit self centred to a lot of people myself included, but hey at the end of the day it’s his choice and he will still be remembered for a 7th title regardless.
