“It’s not good. I support those within the community here. I hope they continue to hold their ground and push back. I’m going to have the rainbow on my helmet. It’s not unlike when we were in Saudi ArabiaLewis Hamilton said to the media.
“I heard and read about some of the decisions that have been made in the government here and I don’t agree with them and I don’t support them. I really still support the LGBTQ+ community and I’m wearing a rainbow flag on my helmet this weekend. and i really want to continue to support the community here and let them know i stand with them and hope they continue“he added.
