• F1.The war (over racism) that does not stop between Hamilton and Ecclestone

The silver arrows will be black arrows during the next World Cup. This has been announced by the Mercedes team in a statement, as a sign of commitment to the fight against racism and discrimination. "That will send a message so strong that it will give others the confidence to start a dialogue on how they can implement change," was the message with which Lewis Hamilton accompanied his team's announcement.

"We present our new design for 2020. It is a promise to improve the diversity of our team and our sport, and a sign of the team's commitment to fight racism and discrimination in all its forms," ​​said Mercedes on her social networks, attaching an image of the new car, tinted almost entirely black.

Mercedes will face 2020 with the public promise to "improve diversity" within the team and with a declaration against racism and all forms of discrimination. It will include the phrase 'End Racism' (ends racism) in the halo of its cars and will display the hashtag #WeRaceAsOne (we race as one) on the mirrors of the W11.

Lewis Hamilton has been very active during the 'Black Lives Matter' protests following the death of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer in the United States. In this sense, the British driver announced the creation of a new commission to improve diversity in motorsports, while Formula 1 has launched a new task force specifically focused on "identifying employment and education opportunities for groups underrepresented in Formula 1 ".

His teammate Valtteri Bottas , for his part, regretted that in Formula One there still exist "barriers for people who come from environments that traditionally have not been part of the sport." "Racism and discrimination have no place in our sport or in our society and I am proud to be with the team, with Lewis and with Mercedes-Benz in making this important statement," he said.
