Lewis Hamilton has praised Ralf Schumacher’s decision to come out as gay, calling it a “positive message.” Schumacher, who has won six Grand Prix throughout his F1 career, revealed that he is in a relationship with a man in an Instagram post. Hamilton noted that Schumacher “clearly” didn’t feel comfortable discussing his sexuality in the past. When it comes to inclusivity, the Mercedes driver believes that F1 still has “a long way to go.” “It is one thing saying that it’s inclusive, but it’s another thing actually making sure people feel comfortable in the environment,” claimed Hamilton. He also acknowledged that F1 is a “male-dominated space” and the sport needs to “do more to make people feel more comfortable and make women feel more welcome.” A spokesperson for F1 said in a statement that Schumacher coming out is a very positive thing for the sport. ” They went on to say that F1 wants “to keep pushing to ensure everyone feels accepted and welcomed.” “We want to show everyone that our incredible sport is open to you.” said the F1 spokesperson.
