Davidson praises Hamilton for being open about mental health

Hamilton was very open in an interview with The Sunday Times a few weeks ago. He talked about his history of bullying and his depressive feelings. The seven-time world champion received a lot of praise for his statements in the days following the interview, and the organizations were happy to open up such a great athlete. There was also a frequent response from the racing world to his heartfelt words.

Former driver and current analyst Anthony Davidson is also happy with Hamilton. On the Sky Sports F1 Podcast, Davidson explains his feelings, saying: “Lewis has had a very positive influence on the sport. He has the authority of a seven-time world champion. It doesn’t matter what topic he talks about, people will listen to him.” I’ve grown up with Lewis on kart tracks my whole life, and I saw him reach those pastures at the age of 8. Health makes me sad in so many ways, and I’m proud that he spoke out and pointed out his mental health, and it saddens me that he struggled with it throughout those days we spent at kart tracks, But he is now in a position to do so. “You can talk about it.”
