On May 3, Beijing time, Lewis Hamilton, the 7th champion of the F1 Meiben Team, talked for the first time about the problem of less black people in the racing circle. He said that after 16 years of driving, he is still very lonely.
Not only that, but the little man also said that the entire F1 provides about 40,000 jobs, but black people do not even have 400 people, accounting for only 1% of the employees.
Recently, Hamilton went to New York and added tattoos. After that, he was interviewed by the American media and talked about the question of correctness for the first time.
To the media, Xiaohan said that he has been playing in F1 for 16 years, and if there is no Asian driver, he is almost the only person of color on the track. In addition, he said that he has always been lonely. His family was almost the only black family in the paddock (the little man's mother and stepmother, both white).
Hamilton has repeatedly said he wants to add drivers of color. So far, though, he's the only black driver on the field who can drive F1.
In 2019, he also formed a special organization called the Hamilton Council to help young black players who want to drive F1. However, the results were minimal.
After that, the younger the man said, the more excited he became, saying that the entire F1 could provide 40,000 jobs, but the black staff among them was not even 400 people. That's less than 1 percent.
There were not many people of color in Mei Ben's previous celebrations, which also made Hamilton very sad.
However, the British media's interpretation is that this has a lot to do with the different levels of education received by different people. In their student years, blacks scored significantly lower than others, and they had few opportunities to receive the highest education.
Most of the workers in the racing industry are engineers involved in circuits, parts, repairs and tests.
The appearance of Zhou Guanyu has brought F1 Asian drivers to a new height.
In addition to Zhou Guanyu from China, Japanese driver Hiroshi Kakuda and Thai driver Alexander Alpen. Prior to this, there were actually many Asian drivers who participated in F1 races, including Kobayashi Komonwei, Suzuki Akuri, Takuma Sato, Narain Kaskiyan and others.
Historically, there have been Asian teams such as Honda, Toyota, Force India, and Super Yakuri.
Hamilton's words have a certain representativeness. The future of F1 is likely to add a black element.
In the current schedule, there are no African matches. South Africa will certainly be on the agenda and will be significantly higher priority than other races.
In addition, once Hamilton retires, the midstream and lower teams may choose to bring in black drivers, making the F1 race more "colorful".
It also means that several Asian drivers are likely to be in a competitive relationship.
In the first 4 races of this year, Kakuda Yuyi has already scored 10 points, and Alben and Zhou Guanyu both have only 1 point. The Australian driver scored 11 points.
Therefore, If Zhou Guanyu wants to renew a long-term contract in the paddock, he needs to redouble his efforts.
