Lewis Hamilton has stepped up his protests against racism by wearing a T-shirt highlighting police brutality in the US at the Tuscan Grand Prix. Hamilton’s shirt said: “Arrest the cops who killed Breonna Taylor,” a black woman shot eight times in her own home. “I’ve been wanting to bring awareness to the fact there are people being killed on the street,” Hamilton said. Hamilton’s T-shirt also bore the slogan: “Say her name”. Hamilton wore the T-shirt at the pre-race anti-racism demonstration, during his post-race television interview and on the podium. Hamilton won the race to take the 90th victory of his F1 career and is now just one win away from Michael Schumacher’s all-time record of 91, which the Briton looks certain to break this year. The win also moved Hamilton another step closer to his seventh world title, which would equal another all-time record of the German’s.
