Shortly after Formula 1 announced the introduction of the # WeRaceAsOne initiative from the race weekend in Austria, Mercedes came up with a modified livery for the 2020 season. Now McLaren has also announced that it will start the championship with a changed color scheme.
The racism problem has been the topic of discussion in the world in recent weeks. The dark community does not always feel treated equally and is often hurt by certain comments. Meanwhile, more and more initiatives are emerging to draw attention to this. Formula 1 is now also participating in its # WeRaceAsOne project. With this initiative, sport supports the fight against both the coronavirus and racism and inequality. All Formula 1 cars from Austria will therefore be equipped with a rainbow, as a symbol of this battle.

But in addition to the initiative of the sport, some teams have also decided to put in a penny. For example, Mercedes recently presented a new livery for the 2020 season. The German formation will cross the track with a mostly black car this year as a statement of support to the black community. Although this change Mercedes received a lot of criticism on social media, McLaren has also decided to undergo a change. However, they have not chosen to use the ‘color’ black in their livery, but have the rainbow return to the car more often, as well as the text ‘End Racism’, which is placed on the inside of the halo.
