Lewis Hamilton is known for his commitment to global inclusion and diversity. He is considered one of the most influential figures in the world of Formula 1, with some experts even referring to him as the sport’s ambassador. In 2020, his efforts to promote diversity resulted in the introduction of the “We Race As One” initiative. Recently, Hamilton participated in a charity dinner organized by the non-profit organization, 15percentpledge.
The 15percentpledge aims to address the inequality that exists among different segments of society by partnering with retailers. These partnerships require retailers to allocate 15% of their spending to support black-owned businesses. The organization actively works to increase income and opportunities for black business owners. Hamilton’s presence at the charity dinner highlighted his support for this cause.
During the event, Hamilton was seen alongside the President and Vice President of the organization, as well as other notable individuals. The organization has made significant progress since its founding in 2020. Hamilton’s participation in the event undoubtedly contributed to its success and further emphasized the importance of diversity in our society.
Although the current break in the Formula 1 calendar allowed Hamilton to attend the charity dinner in America, his performance in the sport has been less than stellar. He has faced strong competition from his teammate at [team], resulting in disappointing results for Hamilton. This trend continued at the Canadian Grand Prix, where his teammate finished on the podium while Hamilton finished in fourth place.
After the race, Hamilton openly admitted that it was one of the worst performances of his career. Some speculated that his statement was a psychological tactic to downplay his teammate’s victory. However, these theories lacked substantial evidence to support them.
Despite his recent difficulties, Hamilton has historically performed well in the Spanish Grand Prix, having won the event six times. Therefore, he remains a driver to be watched in the upcoming three-day event in Barcelona.
