Why criticize someone in the global spotlight like Lewis Hamilton for standing up against racism, global warming the benefits of vegetarianism, being against animal cruelty etc.

That's the same attitude as the "shut up and dribble" people who criticized NBA players for speaking out.

I like Kimi, but he is not a great speaker or much of a role model. If you want to choose one F1 driver for a young racer to emulate, Lewis is the one. He doesn't come from a rich family and had to overcome a lot of challenges to get where he is.

He isn't number one solely based on his car. Remember when he was teammates with Alonso at Mclaren and out performed him? Alonso had to cheat to try to get an advantage.
