Hamilton's Mission 44 foundation announces first initiative

LONDON: A foundation set up by seven-times Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton announced its first initiative on Tuesday, seeking to recruit 150 black school teachers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects.

Hamilton's Mission 44 and the educational charity Teach First will work together over the next two years to help schools serving disadvantaged communities in England.

The Mercedes driver set up a commission last year to help boost the number of black people in British motorsport and promote diversity.
