As Lewis Hamilton rose through the ranks of competitive go-karting, his father, Anthony, told him: “Always do your talking on the track.” Lewis had a lot to talk about. You obviously feel you are being targeted.” Lewis replied, laughing: “Maybe it’s because I’m Black. That’s what Ali G says, I don’t know.” The Telegraph ran a headline: “Lewis risks disciplinary action after astonishing outburst”. There’s got to be a reason that I’m not only the only Black driver but the one at the front. I want to carry on the Hamilton name and make him proud.”Is there something you want to tell me, Lewis?
