- Lewis Hamilton has hit out at F1 chiefs after drivers were rushed through anti-racism stance of taking the knee before the Hungarian Grand Prix
- Drivers only had short space of time to take the knee before national anthems
- Antonio Giovanazzi also forgot to wear his ‘END RACISM’ T-shirt before the race
- Hamilton said: ‘It was such a rush us getting out of the car and taking the knee’
Lewis Hamilton hit out at the disorganisation of Formula One chiefs after drivers were only given a small amount of time to ‘take the knee’ before the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday.
In a confusing display, Hamilton and others went down on one knee but other drivers hadn’t yet made it to their positions, and could be seen running into place during the moment.
Drivers then quickly stood for the national anthems, meaning the moment of ‘taking the knee’ only lasted for a few moments.
