Mercedes change to black cars in antiracism stand
Silver Arrow pledges to improve diversity in the team and the wider world of motorsport
Bengaluru — Formula One champions Mercedes unveiled black-liveried cars for the 2020 season on Monday as part of a public pledge to improve diversity within the team and the world of motorsport.
Mercedes have traditionally raced in silver throughout their time in F1 but will switch to black and have “End Racism” emblazoned on the halo of both cars.
The team said the Black Lives Matter movement has “shone a searching light on how much we need new measures and actions in the fight against racism and all forms of discrimination”.
The new livery will make its debut when Britain’s world champion Lewis Hamilton and Finnish team mate Valtteri Botta’s feature in the season-opening Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday.
