Formula One drivers take a knee, wear 'End Racism' shirts at season opener
By Rebecca Klar - 07/06/20 02:21 PM EDT



Formula One drivers wore shirts that said “End Racism” and took a knee ahead of Sunday's season-opening Austrian Grand Prix.

Nineteen of the 20 drivers wore the “End Racism” shirts, with the U.K.'s Lewis Hamilton, the only current Black driver in Formula One, wearing one that said “Black Lives Matter”

Fourteen of the drivers took a knee prior to Sunday’s race.


“End Racism. One cause. One commitment,” Formula One tweeted, along with a video of the drivers. “As individuals, we choose our own way to support the cause. As a group of drivers and a wider F1 family, we are united in its goal.”

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Fortunately F1 is among the things that I truly enjoy. And one of the current top drivers happens to be black.

The color barriers in most sports were broken long ago.
