Lewis Hamilton awarded special Laureus prize for fight against racism

Lewis Hamilton has become the first recipient of a brand-new award at the prestigious Laureus World Sports Awards, for his involvement in the fight against racism.
Hamilton, who won the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year Award in 2020, alongside Barcelona footballer Lionel Messi, was crowned the inaugural Laureus Athlete Advocate of the Year.
The seven-time world champion has been extremely vocal in the fight for racial equality, not just in Formula 1 but in wider society as a whole, with the Briton also establishing the Hamilton Commission with the stated aim of making the sport “as diverse as the complex and multicultural world we live in”.

“To think my name is going to slot in alongside the legends who have won this award before me is really humbling.”

Skiing superstar Lindsey Vonn has backed the International Olympic Committee’s move to effectively outlaw podium protests at future Games but supported athletes wishing to highlight human rights issues in the build-up to Beijing 2022.
Vonn, who retired in 2019 as one of the most successful skiers in history with both world and Olympic golds, 16 overall World Cup season titles and a women’s record 82 individual World Cup race wins, insists that while the podium is a “sacred place”, officials must ensure other means for athletes’ voices to be heard.

Hamilton, Mercedes on Laureus awards short-list
Date published:
February 24 2021
Sir Lewis Hamilton and his Mercedes team are both in the running to repeat their previous successes at the Laureus World Sports Awards in 2021.
Hamilton was the joint winner of the Sportsman’s award last year along with Barcelona footballer Lionel Messi and, unlike the Argentine, has made the six-man short-list again.
The 36-year-old Briton coasted to his seventh World Championship title in 2020, equalling the record held by Michael Schumacher and also surpassing the German to hold the highest number of F1 race wins, 95.
In doing so, Hamilton played a large role as Mercedes clinched their seventh consecutive constructors’ World Championship, winning 13 of the season’s 17 races.
