Lewis Hamilton responded to Mario Andretti. The American spoke out about Hamilton standing up for the Black Lives Matter movement. Hamilton responds via Instagram with his opinion on the subject.

The problem doesn't exist according to Andretti

According to Andretti, Hamilton has created a problem that does not exist. According to Andretti, the Mercedes driver is a much respected person around the world. Andretti therefore doesn't think it is necessary for Hamilton to commit to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Reaction of Hamilton

Hamilton now expresses himself through his Instagram channel: "This is disappointing but unfortunately a reality that some of the older generation, who still have a voice today, cannot get out of their own way and acknowledge there is a problem."

"Again, this is plain ignorance but that will not stop me from continuing to push for change. It is never too late to learn and i hope that this man, who i've always had respect for, can take the time to educate himself", concludes Hamilton.
