Prevented from doing his day job by the coronavirus outbreak, Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton is standing out during the pandemic through his passionate campaigning against racial injustice. ``All statues of racist men who made money from selling a human being should be torn down!'' On Instagram, Hamilton criticized others in Formula One for failing to speak up on the issue of racism, saying they were ``staying silent'' in the ``midst of injustice.'' ``Not a sign from anybody in my industry which of course is a white-dominated sport,'' the six-time world champion added. The Formula One season has yet to start its 2020 season because of the coronavirus, with the sport shutting down the week of the opening race in Australia in March.
