Hamilton was pleased to see Vettel back at an F1 track and hopes the former Red Bull driver’s work ru𒁏bs off on the rest of the grid.

“I think it is great to have Seb back this weekend, he sat down and told all the 𒆙drivers about his plans,” Hamilton said.&nbs🐓p;

“It is great he has found his purpose, and to be honest, in the hist⛄ory of the sport, I don’t know any other driver that has ever been so outspoken or showing real compassion for the world outside of this kind♔ of world we’re living in. 

“It’s really great he’s utilising his platform. I always just hope with the things that he’s doing he inspires t💖he other drivers to do somet🧔hing.
