Lewis Hamilton supports Mercedes carbon neutral targets

Lewis Hamilton has praised the pledge of Mercedes to go net-carbon neutral by the end of the 2020 Formula 1 season.

Hamilton is well known for his keen focus on the environment and sustainability, and says that he is pleased to see Mercedes taking the issue seriously.

"It's great to see that Mercedes is taking responsibility for sustainability and that the entire Mercedes family is making huge efforts to tackle the issue. I hope I can make a meaningful contribution to that transformation as well," said Hamilton.

In recent years, Hamilton has changed to a vegan diet and sold his private jet in a personal bid to lessen his affect on the environment, and the reigning Formula One champion outlined other ways that he has made changes to his way of living.

"Sustainability is very important to me personally; I've become more and more aware of the environmental issues we're facing around the globe and I just want to have a positive impact and try to play my part in it," added Hamilton. "I've changed to a plant-based diet, I've changed the way I travel and started off-setting my flights, and I've started to drive both plug-in hybrids and all-electric Mercedes vehicles.

"I've also put sustainability at the heart of other ventures I'm involved in, such as my new clothing collection with Tommy Hilfiger."
