Lewis Hamilton and other Formula One figures have given their support to former driver Ralf Schumacher after the German posted that he is in a same-sex relationship.

The 49-year-old Schumacher, younger brother of F1 great Michael Schumacher, competed from 1997-2007 and won six races. He recently posted a picture of himself and his partner on social media with the message: “The most beautiful thing in life is when you have the right partner by your side with whom you can share everything.”
