Worried for the planet, Hamilton says he is ready to drop everything

You can be a five-time Formula 1 World Champion, an icon of the sport, one of the flag-bearers of the automotive industry and worry about the future of our planet. Lewis Hamilton is, it seems, entered for some months in deep reflection on the meaning of his life in a world threatened by extinction due to global warming and over-exploitation of resources. Through his Instagram account on Tuesday, the British published a series of long messages that he ended by erasing and in which he expressed his immense concern for the future of humanity by slipping into the costume of a fervent activist . "The extinction of our race is becoming more and more likely if we use our resources excessively. The world is a disaster, world leaders do not care about the environment, "he warns.

"Honestly, I want to give up everything. To cut everything. Why worry when the world is plunged into such a mess and people do not seem to care? "

"Honestly, I want to give up everything. To cut everything. Why worry then that the world is plunged into such a mess and that people do not seem to care, "he wrote further concluding his address to his 13.1 million followers . "I'll give myself a moment to gather my thoughts. Thank you to all those who have something to do with the world, "continued the champion in a very pessimistic mood.

Fortunately, Hamilton does not just point to the suicidal immobility of humanity. The Mercedes driver wants to believe that there are still solutions to reverse the trend. "It took me 32 years to understand the impact I have on the world and to do what I can do every day to improve it. I want my life to have meaning, and sincerely, so far, my life does not make sense. Being part of the problem is not the most important, but part of the yes solution, "he says promoting veganism.

"Make sure you're vegan, it's the only way to save our planet today."

"What you eat helps keep the meat industry, deforestation and cruelty to animals, the seas and the climate on a daily basis. Make sure you're vegan, it's the only way to save our planet today. This can be done very quickly, just adjust your mind, "says the pilot who went from words to deeds. He invested last summer in Neat Burger, a restaurant chain that sells burgers made from plant substitutes. A few weeks ago, he had sold his private jet for about 30 million euros to be more in tune with his new lifestyle.
