“Ceasefire now” - Lewis Hamilton continues to call for an end for Palestine-Israel war, sends "love and support" to Palestinians amid Ramadan

Lewis Hamilton addressed the Palestine-Israel conflict in his recent Instagram story. He shared his support for people in Palestine during the holy month of Ramadan, and called for an immediate ceasefire.

The situation in Palestine has seemingly been getting worse every day. With Ramazan ongoing, the population that largely considers the month sacred has reportedly started finding the crisis even more difficult to deal with.

Addressing the state of affairs, Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton wrote on his social media that a ceasefire should be called for and that the hostages must be returned.

"Sending my love and support to all the people in Palestine who are spending this holy time facing danger, loss and heartbreak," he wrote. "In a month that is sacred to so many in the region, we must keep calling for a permanent ceasefire and return of hostages so that families can be together and be free from the constant threat of destruction and violence."

"Ceasefire now," he added.

Multiple agencies have reported that starvation and famine have become major issues for Palestine amidst the conflict. Hamilton shared those issues in his stories, too.

F1 Journalist suggests Lewis Hamilton would trade 2008 F1 championship for 2021 title

In his recent video, F1 journalist Peter Windsor suggested that Lewis Hamilton would be willing to give away his 2008 F1 world championship if he had the chance to win the 2021 title.

The 2021 F1 season ended with controversy as a decision made by the race director in the final moments of the race caused the Brit to lose the race against Max Verstappen, who won his first world championship. The drivers had come into the race on equal points, and Hamilton led most of the race. However, a late safety car allowed Verstappen to pit while his rival stayed out.

The lapped cars exclusively between the two drivers were asked to unlap themselves, allowing Verstappen to overtake Hamilton in the final lap of the race. The latter thus lost the chance at an eighth title.

Peter Windsor suggested in his recent YouTube video that if Hamilton was given the 2021 championship, he would allow Felipe Massa to be crowned the 2008 F1 champion.

"In my opinion, the final lap in Abu Dhabi 2021 shouldn’t have counted. Lewis should have won that race and become world champion," Windsor said. "Deep down, if you were to ask Lewis Hamilton to lose his 2008 title to give it to Felipe Massa, and reclaim the 2021 championship, I think he would be willing to do it."

Felipe Massa has been trying to find legal ways to challenge Lewis Hamilton's 2008 title, because of the crashgate controversy that occurred that season. According to Massa, the result of that particular race (Singapore 2008) should be canceled out, which would make Hamilton lose just enough points from the championship to crown Massa as the champion.
