You might find what Hamilton is doing problematic but the message that he is alerting us about is more problematic and real and happens regularly without sanction.

Besides, this is a peaceful call for action to clamp down on this problem. If we don't heed this peacefull call for action, then the next level may not be to anyones liking.
There is a time and a place for protest .
They made a time and place for this protest .

As I understand it , political statements are absolutely not allowed on the podium , at least according to the previous Concorde agreement , and teams and countries have been fined heavily for it .

I made no comment about the actual statement .
