George Floyd legacy will last forever says Lewis Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton has said the world must continue to work for equality to honour the legacy of George Floyd.

It is one year since Floyd was killed in Minneapolis after Derek Chauvin, a police officer, kneeled on his neck for more than eight minutes. On April 20, Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter by a jury.

Floyd's death became a catalyst for a social justice movement in sports last summer.
