Mercedes says that it will race in all-black cars for the 2020 Formula One season in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Six-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton and teammate Valtteri Bottas will also race in black overalls for the season, which starts Sunday in Austria after a long delay caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Hamilton, who is the only Black world champion in F1, has spoken widely about racism following the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis last month. He plans to create a commission to increase diversity in motorsport. Mercedes said Monday that just 3% of its workforce identify as belonging to minority ethnic groups, and that only 12% of its employees are women.

Enough already.......

how does this help? the movement isn't 'black race-cars matter'....

🤮

Ok this is just getting ridiculous.

Mercedes going to give any comments of its role in helping Nazi Germany ? Ironic isn't ?

Don't race cars have a ton of advertising on them? Why not only put 'BLM' on the cars? That's what I call support.
