Lewis Hamilton raises fist on podium after winning Styrian Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton, the face of Formula 1, has his first victory of 2020.

The Mercedes driver won the Styrian Grand Prix on Sunday, leading from the start. His teammate Valtteri Bottas came in second, while both Ferrari drivers took themselves out of contention after colliding on Lap 1.

Hamilton, who is now just six wins shy of Michael Schumacher’s all-time record of 91 F1 victories, raised his right fist in the Black power salute while he was on the podium. After the race, he spoke passionately about his continuing fight against racism.

“Racism is going to be here for longer than our time here,” Hamilton said after the race, via the Guardian.
