Hamilton casts doubt on Kingspan branding remaining on car

Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton cast doubt on Saturday on whether branding for a company linked to the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire would stay on his Mercedes race car amid a backlash in Britain and calls for his team to terminate the deal.

"This really doesn't have anything to do with me and I know Toto is sorting it," seven-times world champion Hamilton told reporters after taking pole position for the inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in Jeddah. British Housing Minister Michael Gove has urged Mercedes to reconsider, saying he was"deeply disappointed" Mercedes were accepting sponsorship from Kingspan while an inquiry was ongoing.

"I was very much aware and watching very closely all the families that were affected by what happened there and we know there's been a huge outcry and an amazing amount of support from people in the community around there."
