Lewis Hamilton will wear a Black Lives Matter tribute race helmet as he attempts to equal Michael Schumacher's record of seven Formula One world championships this year.
Hamilton, the only Black driver in F1's history, unveiled the new design, a predominantly black design with a tinge of purple, ahead of this weekend's season-opening Austrian Grand Prix. The traditional slogan he has carried on the back of the helmet in recent seasons, "Still I Rise", has been tweaked to "Still We Rise".
Hamilton's Mercedes team has already changed it's 2020 car's livery to all black, a move away from its traditional silver, as part of a public pledge to improve diversity within its team and the sport itself.
