Hamilton called out Marko's comments that alluded to links between Perez's Mexican heritage and his form this season
“This is not something you just apologise for and it is all okay,” the Mercedes driver said.
“Whilst we say there is no room for any type of discrimination in this sport, and there should be no room for it, to have leaders and people in his position making comments like this is not good for us moving forward. “There are a lot of people in the background that really are combating these kind of things, but it is hard to manoeuvre if people at the top have mindsets which stop us from progressing.
“But it is not my team and not how we move as a team. We still have a lot of work to do to make this a more inclusive environment.” Perez, 33, also spoke to the media in Singapore on Thursday, revealing Marko had apologised for his comments directly, after issuing a public apology, and adding that he was keen to “move on”.Lewis Hamilton has expressed his disappointment at Helmut Marko's comments about Sergio Perez, where the Red Bull motorsport advisor blamed Perez's inconsistent form this season on his ethnicity.
