Lewis Hamilton wins the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix amidst hosting criticisms

Lewis Hamilton is no stranger to making headlines. Before the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix weekend, he made yet another one by making it clear that he was "not comfortable" racing in a country with several human rights issues reported over the past few years.

Speaking at the FIA drivers’ press conference ahead of the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, the reigning world champion expressed his discomfort at racing in the country, saying:

"Do I feel comfortable here? I wouldn't say I do. But this was not my choice. Our sport has chosen to be here and whether it's fair or not, I think that, while we're here, it's still important to do some work on raising awareness."

The Brit also wore a helmet featuring the Pride flag - with the words "We Stand Together" emboldened on it.

Activism was appreciably visible throughout the weekend in and around the paddock.

Hamilton's former title rival and Aston Martin racing driver Sebastian Vettel showed his support for the cause of the LGBTIQA+ community by wearing special rainbow streaked shoes during a pre-race briefing for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

Haas driver Mick Schumacher also expressed his solidarity with the LGBTIQA+ community by sporting a tee with a rainbow on it, supported by a bracelet.
