- One team is stalling on Lewis
Hamilton's diversity charter for Formula One, the seven-times world
champion revealed on Thursday.
The Mercedes driver would not name the team.
"We are very close to getting this diversity inclusion charter going
and I think it's still one team, still the same team, is not willing
to engage," he told reporters at the French Grand Prix.
"We've gone back and forth to them and for some reason they don't
want to, but all the other nine teams have which is really
encouraging."

The charter, proposed by a commission set up by
Hamilton, aims to encourage more diversity and help those from
under-represented backgrounds enter the sport.
