"Lewis Hamilton says he is "completely overcome with rage" at events in the USA following George Floyd's death.

It is the second time Hamilton has spoken out this week in the wake of protests breaking out across the US."
"On Sunday Hamilton, Formula 1's first black driver, hit out at other senior F1 figures for not speaking out, saying: "I see those of you who are staying silent, some of you the biggest stars yet you stay silent in the midst of injustice."

That prompted a number of top drivers to express their own outrage on social media.

On Tuesday, Hamilton issued another statement, saying he had been "completely overcome with rage at the sight of such blatant disregard for the lives of other people".

He added: "The injustice we are seeing our brothers and sisters face all over the world time and time again is disgusting and must stop."

He said that while "many people seem surprised", the situation was "not surprising to us".

"Those of us who black, brown or in between, see it every day and should not have to feel as though we were born guilty, don't belong or fear for our lives based on the colour of our skin," Hamilton said.

"It is only when there are riots and screams for justice that the powers that be cave in and do something, but by then it is far too late and not enough has been done."
