Speaking to the Motorsport Network, Hamilton said:“It’s time for action. We Race as One was all good and well, but it was just words. It didn’t actually do anything. There was no funding towards anything, there was no programme to actually create change and spark that conversation.”He added, saying:“We really have to step up and actually really start actioning some of the things we’re saying. Just saying [words], it’s not enough.“It’s unacceptable. It’s not enough.”Vincenzo Landino@vincenzolandinoF1 has to respond to the reported amount of racism occurring at the Red Bull Ring this weekend. If canceling Zandvoort sends a message, then so be it.
