Hamilton wants to work with F1 on lack of diversity

Reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton wants to work with Formula One to improve what he perceives to be a minimal amount of diversity in motor racing.

Hamilton, F1's first and only black driver, has been an outspoken critic on that topic previously. Ahead of last year's opening race, the Australian Grand Prix, he posted an Instagram picture with the message: "There's barely any diversity in F1. Still nothing's changed in 11 years I've been here. Kids, people, there's so many jobs in this sport of which anybody, no matter your ethnicity or background, can make it and fit in.
