Six-times
Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton donned a T-shirt protesting
against police violence in Nigeria for a pre-race television interview
at the Portuguese Grand Prix on Sunday.
I've
got to show this, Hamilton, Formula One's only Black driver, told Sky
Sports as he revealed a green T-shirt with #EndSARS written on it at the
end of the off-grid interview.
The
Briton reverted to his usual 'Black Lives Matter' T-shirt for the
officially-sanctioned pre-race anti-racism gesture on the starting grid.
Formula
One's governing body last month set out new pre- and post-race rules
for driver attire after Hamilton wore a T-shirt on the Tuscan Grand Prix
grid with the words "Arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor" on the
front.Taylor, a Black medical worker, was killed by police officers who burst into her apartment in Louisville, Kentucky, in March.
Lots
of rules have been written for me over the years and that hasn't
stopped me, Hamilton said when the new rules were announced.
