MERCEDES USING ‘END RACISM’ CAR

-

Formula One champion Mercedes unveiled black-liveried cars for the 2020 season on Monday as part of a public pledge to further improve diversity within the team and the world of motorsport. Mercedes has traditiona­lly raced in silver throughout its 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 in the season-opening Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday.
