Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton said he wants to do everything in his power to be a force for positive change in Saudi Arabia ahead of the country's first race.
Hamilton will wear Pride colours on his race helmet for the second race in a row this weekend, having done so at the Qatar Grand Prix. A Jeddah street circuit hosts Saudi's debut F1 race on Dec. 5.
Hamilton, who is eight points behind championship leader Max Verstappen at the penultimate race, said on Thursday he feels uncomfortable racing in the country.
Speaking ahead of the weekend's race, Hamilton said he knows the impact he can have on an entire country is minimal, but added it is important to raise awareness wherever possible.
