SILVERSTONE, UNITED KINGDOM - Romain Grosjean and Lewis Hamilton have cleared the air and paved the way to a better organised and more unified drivers' anti-racism demonstration ahead of this weekend's British Grand Prix.
"It was a good chat with Lewis," said the Haas driver, who had been criticised by the six-time world champion for not pushing the GPDA members to continue to take the knee or show their unity after the season-opening Austrian Grand Prix."Maybe I did it the wrong way, but I felt that I had to do it at the time.
"It was a really good phone call - and I also said I wasn't very happy that the media came out and, on my social media, there were a lot of things about racism, and that I am a racist and whatsoever, which is absolutely wrong. Hamilton had said he felt compelled to speak out about a lack of leadership and unity and what he felt was an unnecessary"battle" to ensure the sport's anti-racism stance was pushed to the front of people's minds.Grosjean added that having settled matters with Hamilton, the GPDA and the world champion had spoken to the International Motoring Federation and Liberty Media about organising a cohesive and formal pre-race ceremony at Silverstone.
