3:21 Lewis Hamilton dedicated his pole position at Spa to the actor Chadwick Boseman, who sadly passed away at the age of 43
“And then obviously I woke up yesterday morning and… I mean, I’ve generally been feeling a lot of weight on my heart, spirit.
“You know, when you’re watching the news, when you see what’s happening around the world and I feel really quite affected by it and then obviously I was so incredibly proud when Chadwick was Black Panther because as I mentioned all the reasons yesterday, as a kid, dreaming of super heroes and finally see someone, a super hero of a similar colour to me, was really just such a remarkable moment, I think, for the black community.
“So when I woke up and I got the news from a friend who has said I’m crying writing this message to you about Chad, and then reading the news I just broke down. I remember, just trying to pull it together and make sure I delivered on that day.”
On the podium he then performed the Wakanda salute that Boseman made famous in Marvel’s Black Panther franchise.
Posting the two images together in a later post on social media, Hamilton said: “I’m posting this image because we must continue to fight for equality, nothing has changed yet and the battle continues.”
