 But not all drivers were comfortable with the plan to take a knee before the race start, with a handful making their feelings about the plan known over the last few days. Six-time world champion Lewis Hamilton said on Saturday there was still “silence” from some drivers over anti-racism, and called Friday’s drivers’ briefing “interesting”. The Grand Prix Drivers’ Association issued a statement confirming that each will be free to “show their support for ending racism in their own way” ahead of the race.


 Renault driver Ricciardo explained that while all of the drivers are united in the anti-racism message, some of his peers had raised concerns about the connotations with taking a knee in their own cultures, and how it would be received in their home countries. “The chat [on Friday] with the drivers was essentially saying all of us are 100% on board with supporting it and ending racism. None of us our anti this, so we all support this,” Ricciardo said. “I just think there was a little bit of difficulty with some drivers and their nationality, and what something like taking a knee would represent. “Obviously the reasons why we would do it is purely to support Black Lives Matter. It is for nothing political or anything else.

 “But there is a little bit of a fine line with some drivers and their nationalities and how it is perceived. “We heard all of them, all their opinions, and we are not going to try to put anyone in jeopardy. We all understood that we will do what we feel comfortable with. “But no one is going to be judged or criticised if they don’t stand there in a certain way or take a knee.”read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it read more about it
