Martin Whitmarsh among members of Hamilton Commission
Lewis Hamilton's former McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh is among the 14 experts who will make up the Hamilton Commission, a research project set up by the six-time Formula One champion to identify the barriers for Black people participating in motor sport.
Hamilton and the Royal Academy of Engineering launched the Hamilton Commission earlier this year and it officially started work on September 1 by holding its first meeting of its board of commissioners. Hamilton, F1's only Black driver, is co-chairing the project alongside the Chief Executive of the Royal Academy of Engineering, Dr Hayaatun Sillem.
