The Brit has been labelled in the “Titans” category and has been hailed by black NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace.

Wallace said: “I’m the only black driver in NASCAR’s top level, so Lewis’ example – as the lone black F1 driver – is particularly meaningful for me.

“He shows we’re out there doing it. To see him conquering the track damn near every weekend, it motivates me to try to do the same.

“His activism has also moved the world. Lewis has brought international attention to the Black Lives Matter movement, through his advocacy on social media and at F1 events.

“Lewis’ mental preparation, his aura, his ability to capitalise on every opportunity to use his platform to drive out racism are more than just a model for race-car drivers and other athletes.

“He’s an inspiration for everyone.”
