Russian aggression is taking its toll in almost every sector of human activity. Formula One is no exception.
Driver Sebastian Vettel was the first to comment on it, saying that if the upcoming season of the VC of Russia takes place, he himself will not take part in it. Last year’s champion Max Verstappen reacted similarly.
However, a major decision has subsequently been made, with the VC of Russia removed from the F1 calendar. After that, the Haas stable made some moves. Specifically, the Russian colours have been removed from its monocoque. The future of the driver Nikita Mazepin, who is the son of an oligarch and friend of Vladimir Putin, was also discussed.
Many people called for a statement from Lewis Hamilton, who is known for his activism, particularly in the fight against racism, for which he has already been awarded. And on Friday, the public got it.
Hamilton took to his Instagram to express his support for all the people affected by the Russian invasion. In addition, he praised the courage of thousands of Russian citizens.
“It’s important to stand up to injustice when we see it. My heart goes out to all the brave people in Ukraine who are facing attacks for choosing a better future. I stand with the Russian people who are protesting against this violence and seeking peace while putting their own freedom at risk,” the British rider expressed on Instagram.
