Sebastian Vettel was surprised to hear Formula One has removed the pre-race ceremony which allowed drivers to take a knee before races, saying the gesture "was getting a bit too strong for the business side of things".
F1 launched the 'We Race As One' initiative in 2020 in solidarity with the anti-racism movement around the world.
Vettel often joined Lewis Hamilton in using the ceremony to highlight big issues, notably when he wore an Pride rainbow shirt ahead of last year's Hungarian Grand Prix to protest the country's anti-LGBTQ+ legislation.
This week F1 announced the 'We Race As One' ceremony would be dropped in 2022.
