The Just Stop Oil movement that is disrupting the British year of sport has received backing from Sir Lewis Hamilton.
And the seven-times Formula One world champion said he would welcome a protest at Sunday’s British Grand Prix... just as long as it did not involve anyone invading the 200mph track.
“From my perspective, and my team’s perspective, we are focused on sustainability and we believe in what people are fighting for. But safety is key. We don’t want to put them in harm’s way and we don’t want to put anyone else in harm’s way. If there was to be one (a protest) we hope it’s not on track.”
