On Tuesday, he tweeted in support of the England footballers who were subjected to racial abuse in Montenegro.

"We are talking with Lewis and we have had discussions of that nature," Richards told Britain's Press Association.

"I am sure in future years that Lewis is going to be a great ambassador for us in helping to attract and appeal to disadvantaged children in inner cities, who may kick a football around, but the last thing they would ever dream of being able to do is drive a racing car." Richards, a former F1 team boss who will be in Bahrain this weekend, added:"It is early days, and Lewis's priority is to win a couple more world championships, but I am quite certain that he will be looking for a legacy.

"I hope that will be by assisting us to expand the grassroots level and footprint of motorsport into areas where we haven't been in the past."
