Despite the gloomy and bright outfit, it has been a gloomy week for the 7-time world champion. He has been on the receiving end of some racist comments from former world champion Nelson Piquet.
But The F1 community has stood firm alongside one of the greatest drivers in the sport. The Mercedes driver was grateful for the support he received throughout the week on the issue.

“Well, firstly, I’m incredibly grateful to all those that have been supportive within the sport, particularly the drivers. I think it’s more about the bigger picture… it’s not just about one individual, it’s not just about one use of that term – it’s the bigger picture,” said Hamilton.
Hamilton will look to give a prompt answer on the track with his performance. But it is nice to see that Hamilton is not alone and has so much support amid the controversy.
