Hamilton has urged people to help the refugees in Afghanistan 

Hamilton took the lead of the 2021 F1 world championship after coming P2 in a chaotic race which saw the unfancied Alpine of Esteban Ocon win the race and shock retirements of Lando Norris, Sergio Perez, Charles Leclerc and Lance Stroll thanks to a first lap incident in wet conditions by a braking error by Hamilton's teammate Valtteri Bottas which also resulted in his retirement.

Hamilton's main rival the highly fancied Max Verstappen didn't retire from the race but the commotion caused his car to be damaged heavily and he hobbled to a P9. In the last two races the Red Bull of Verstappen took home just two points while Hamilton took more than 40 points.
