[The Helmet](https://pic8.co/sh/jlSD9p.png) Another sport I once enjoyed following, now dead to me. >Hamilton, F1’s only black driver, regularly wears a rainbow helmet when racing in countries with controversial LGBT laws. >Speaking to the Associated Press, Hamilton compared Florida to Saudi Arabia, where same-sex sexual activity is illegal. >“I stand by those within the community here. I hope they continue to stand firm and push back. I’ll have the rainbow on my helmet. It’s no different to when we were in Saudi,” Hamilton said. >**When asked about if he thinks F1 should boycott the state, Hamilton said that decision is not up to him.** >>“It’s not for me to decide something like that,” Hamilton said. “I did hear and have read about some of the decisions that have been made in government here and I do not agree with it and I do not support it. I really do continue to stand with the LGBTQ community and I’m wearing a rainbow flag on my helmet this weekend and I just really want to continue to support the community here and let them know I stand with them and I hope they continue to fight against it.” . . .
