A Closed-Minded Qatar

The Mercedes driver wore in practice for this weekend’s Formula 1 GP a helmet with the colors of the rainbow, which represents the LGBTQ+ struggle, with the phrase We Stand Together.

The country is known worldwide for not respecting human rights, and has even experienced harsh demonstrations and demands from European teams that will compete in the World Cup in 2022.

Hamilton, who is in Qatar at this very moment, used his voice to join the cause. According to him, opportunities must be taken to shed light on the problem. It is a crime to be gay in Qatar, which can even lead to the death penalty.

A Long Time Activist

Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton on Thursday (29) called the anti-LGBT law adopted by the Hungarian government “unacceptable, cowardly and mistaken” when F1 arrives in the European country this weekend to contest the Hungarian GP.

“It is unacceptable, cowardly and wrong for people who wield power to propose a law like this,” said the British Mercedes driver, a longtime campaigner against discrimination of any kind.

In the eyes of the world

Qatar, which signed a ten-year agreement to host the GP at the Losail International Circuit from 2023 onward, is the target of several groups that fight for human rights. These entities accuse the country of a variety of social problems, such as male tutelage, sexist laws against women, and people who identify themselves as LGBTQ+.

Regarding soccer, the accusation is the neglect of thousands of immigrant workers who have precarious conditions in the World Cup arenas, for example. One thing is for certain, now it is too late to change anything, the World Cup will happen in Quatar, and the country will be under the watchful gaze of the world, so check out our news section to see what will happen
