Regardless of my stance on the issue, and also I will say that Hamilton is one of my favourite ever drivers/personalities (and Grosjean one of my least!!), I hate this "calling out" of people because they don't/won't agree with you, or do what you want them to.
I think Hamilton needs to consider that not everyone necessarily wants to nail their flag to any mast publicly, for reasons which are none of his business. Also that people may well have held views in the past which they are trying to adjust. Or even that they simply do not agree with him, or the methods.
He has now placed Grosjean in an impossible position for the next time they take a knee - does he cave in and do something he doesn't want to do just because to not do it would have "connotations"? Some would say that's bullying.
When writing this I wrote a long bit about recent experiences on my old school FB group with BLM but I need to check I've not already done it before, before I post it - it's also not really for this thread anyway.
