Lewis Hamilton is hoping to see some "real progression" in Formula One as he continues his fight for more diversity in the paddock, a cause he has been championing throughout his racing career.
Hamilton sat down with Naomi Schiff ahead of the opening race in Bahrain, in which he claimed a surprise podium finish after Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez suffered engine problems, clearing the way for the Mercedes driver and new team-mate, George Russell, to come home in third and fourth.
Although still ambitious to win an eighth World Championship, Hamilton insists there is more that motivates him than just his own success on the track, his strive for more diversity in the sport driving him to ensure that the big conversations are happening.
Speaking about his goals for Formula One in the future, he said: "That's my role here I think to continue to hold those conversations, sit with Stefano (Domenicali) and say what are you doing and how can we work together?
