"We need people to be bringing people together."

He added: "We are all the same and the comments we are seeing are not helpful."

Hamilton's remarks come in the context of triple world champion Piquet using a racially offensive term to refer to the seven-time champion in a podcast that emerged this week.

So lets have no discrimination, but don't let the old folks talk

Hamilton prefers the Nazi method of dealing with situations.

The reason he wants to use the method of silencing them is because he doesn't believe he can beat them in debate. He believes that he should have a platform for his opinion but they shouldn't for theirs and rather than debate them he believes people should have a higher power to silence oposing opinions to his.
