“Really happy to hear of the progress being made,” the Briton said.
“I think it’s been great having Susie in there, who was a phenomenal driver, so has the perspective from a driver side, but also she’s been a team owner.
“She’s really fighting for that inclusivity, so I think it’s really great the steps that were taken.
“And [I’m] really happy to hear that all of Formula 1 is on board,” Hamilton concluded.
