168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton was asked 💮to name his two ideal drivers if he had his own Formula 1 te𝓡am.

But his ans💯wer prompted a feisty response from another racing driv👍er.

Hamilton an𓂃swered the hypothetical question by picking Kenzo Cr𒉰aigie and Doriane Pin.

Craigie and Pin are both Mercedes-backed juniors.

Craigie🍬, aged 14, joined Mercedes last year after success in the British karting scene.

France’s Pin, aged 20, has driven in the F1 Academy and the World Endurance Championship.

“Kenzo and Doriane,” Hamilton said.

“She’s a badass. If I were to make a team… maybe one day I will… it🐓’ll be diverse from🀅 the beginning.”

But that answer didn’t satisfy another racer.

“Put your money where your mouth is!”

That was the response from Sℱophia Floersch, who is a🥀 part of the Alpine Academy.

Hamilton has been a great advocate for diversity within Formula 1 including w🐟ishing for a female racing in the series.

Lella Lombarꦗdi was the last woman in an F💯1 grand prix, in 1976.

The Mercedes driver has routinely💛 talked up the F1 Academy initiative, too.

Red Bull engineer Calum Nicholas stuck up for Hamilton and di𒁃smissed the complaint from Alpine driver Floersch.

“Very dis🍰appointed with this response,” he told F꧙loersch.

“Lewis has poured more money and time into championing unde꧃rrepresented groups than ANYONE in the history of our sport.

“The Hamilton Commission was a game-changer and without it, we likely wouldn’t have m⛄any of the programs working to break down the barriers to entry into racing.

“Why would you want﷽ to antagonise people that are alre♐ady on your side?”

Broadcaster Sean Kelly𓆉 added: "He was in the Acad🌟emy paddock on Sunday too. 

"Credit where🌃 it is due, he gives his time, which is probably even harder for him t🅠o do on an F1 weekend than just giving his money."
