Lewis Hamilton celebrated his victory at the Styrian Grand Prix with a black power salute and vowed to dedicate his post-racing life to fighting against racism.
The six-time world champion led home a Mercedes one-two with Valtteri Bottas coming home in second as the 35-year-old clinched his 85th race win in Formula One.
In the moments after a truly dominant performance to win the Styrian Grand Prix, Hamilton stood on top of his black Mercedes car, clenching his right fist in the air.
Then, after collecting his winner's silverware, Hamilton - with his helmet off - looked down on the tarmac. Holding the gold trophy in his left hand, he sent his clenched right fist skywards.
Before the race, Hamilton took a knee for the second week in a row and was joined by 11 of the 20 drivers in what is becoming an increasingly uncomfortable image for the sport.
Hamilton and his Mercedes team-mate Bottas took the lead in dropping to the tarmac, but some drivers stood, some arrived late, and others were not even there.
Hamilton explained the process in the driver's briefing and revealed he had to convince some drivers to continue their support by kneeling.
"We spoke about it in the drivers' briefing and what we intended to do," said Hamilton.
"Some were asking how long we have to continue to do this. Some felt like doing it once last week was enough. I just had to encourage them and say that racism is going to be around for longer than our time here.
"People of colour who are subjected to racism don't have time to take a moment to protest once and then for that to be it.
"We have to continue to push for equality and raise awareness. For me personally, it is going to be a lifelong thing."
