As Formula One drivers and teams gather in Bahrain for the next round of preseason testing, there is one matter on everyone's mind—the Russia-Ukraine war.
The drivers gathered to show solidarity, positing photos on social media in their “No War” T-shirts and the hashtag #racingunited.
All competitors were present for the display of unity except Lewis Hamilton, whose flight was delayed en route to Bahrain. He apologized for missing the group photo and posted a message of the photo on his Instagram story, saying, in part, “Great to see our sport coming together in this way.”
The united stand comes as Russia continues to attack Ukraine, starting late last month when it invaded the neighboring country.
