The families of those who died in Grenfell Tower have blasted Lewis Hamilton for not calling out Mercedes over a sponsorship deal with a firm linked to the tragedy.
Relatives of the victims slammed the F1 driver for trying to distance himself from the partnership with Kingspan rather than speaking up.
They accused him of taking 'blood money' in a 'sickening and disgusting' contract with the insulation business.
Last night Hamilton tried to detach himself from the fury, saying the deal 'is really nothing to do with me'.
But he still drove with Kingspan emblazoned on the side of his car during his win at Saudi Arabia's first-ever Grand Prix.
It came a year after the 36-year-old posed on a march with a placard saying he was doing it 'for all the people in Grenfell Tower'.

One man, who who lost six relatives in the Grenfell Tower fire, blasted Hamilton for taking 'blood money'.
Nabil Choucair, 47, said Mercedes' sponsorship deal with building materials firm Kingspan was 'sickening and disgusting'.
He said: 'I find the whole situation with the sponsorship of F1 by Kingspan both sickening and disgusting.
'Lewis Hamilton can't deny that he's a part of this. It's his car, he's driving it and he could ask for it to be removed.
'He has the choice to say to the world 'I support Kingspan' or 'I support Grenfell'. He should be as far away as possible from blood money because this is what it is.'
Emma O'Connor, 32, who escaped from the 20th floor of Grenfell, compared his vocal criticism of Saudi to his relative silence on Kingspan.
'He's saying that Saudi's have no human rights and he's fighting for them but what about our rights?' she fumed.
'He has Grenfell survivors and bereaved who are F1 fans so to see that logo must have been sickening. He should have input on withdrawing their sponsorship.'
Survivors' group Grenfell United earlier described the arrangement as 'truly shocking' and demanded its withdrawal.

Meanwhile Grand Tour presenter Jeremy Clarkson slammed the 'woke warrior' over the row.
He wrote in his Sun column on Saturday: 'Woke warrior Lewis Hamilton arrived in Saudi Arabia this week to drive a car that's sponsored in part by Kingspan, the company whose cladding was on the Grenfell Tower. It's OK.
'When I heard, my shoulders sagged a bit as well.'
Tory MP Brendan Clarke-Smith added to MailOnline: 'As much as I admire his driving, I feel Lewis Hamilton has made a rod for his own back with his constant virtue signalling on various issues, yet he then distances himself from something as important as this.
'I would imagine the same will happen with footballers at the next World Cup.'
Last night Hamilton initially refused to answer questions on the matter at a press conference ahead of the race in Jeddah.
He said it was 'not something that I feel I have to speak about publicly'. But when pushed he said: 'It was news to me when I heard this week.
'We know there has been a huge outcry and an amazing
