After this, the 37-year-old driver posted another tweet that read: \u201cLet\u2019s focus on changing the mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hamilton\u2019s comments came after F1 and FIA condemned the racist language by Piquet.<\/p>\n

The only Black driver in F1, Hamilton has campaigned tirelessly to fight racism and has been outspoken on human rights abuses in countries where F1 goes racing.<\/p>\n

Hamilton has faced the brunt of racist comments earlier as well. 13 years ago, he was targeted by racists during a pre-season test in Barcelona. But the 37-year-old said that no action was taken.<\/p>\n

However, speaking ahead of the Hungarian GP he said, \u201cIt was amazing to see the support from my team, and from some of the drivers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt for the first time that I didn\u2019t stand alone in the sport. For all the other years I\u2019ve been racing, no one would have ever said anything. When it happened before no one said anything. So it was really amazing to see the steps that have been taken.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no room for that sort of abuse but if I have to be on the receiving end of that in this industry for people to become aware, then that\u2019s part of my journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
