Lewis Hamilton reveals he felt 'powerful and sad' whilst trying to combat racism during last year's Formula One Championship season. 

The seven-time F1 champion has been leading the industry's battle against racial injustice over the past 12 months and wore T-shirts supporting the Black Lives Matter movement and raised a fist for Black Power after winning last year's Styrian Grand Prix.

Hamilton accused other Formula One drivers who refused to take the knee before Grand Prix races last season of being 'complicit' with racism for not taking a stand against the issue and admitted he got emotional when trying tackling the issues.
