I've been a Formula 1 fan all my life, so as soon as the SJW politics became over-bearing on the sport I love, that I go to to escape all this non-sense, I fucking snapped.
Here is a post I made recently on the reddit Formula 1 subreddit. The vast majority of replies ignore the question and shift the discussion. The reality is even Toto Wolff, Lewis' boss, understands the power of leveraging Lewis' race as a factor for breaking into more of the global market, namely the USA.
I think a lot of newer F1 fans find Lewis on social media, see a successful black man in sport, and latch onto to him as inspiring (and he is!). The problem is these types of fans don't really know much about the sport, and actually give Lewis way more benefit of the doubt than he deserves, especially on political issues in which he knows very little, or is hypocritical.
Daniel Ricciardo was asked in a recent interview if he had to do everything over again what he would change. He said he would be more careful about the people he lets into his inner circle. I think this is Lewis' problem. Too many sycophants are taking advantage of him.
