The GPDA we were very happy that 100 per cent of the drivers were in line with what we wanted and showed the support to Formula 1, We Race As One and End Racism.”Kimi Raikkonen (right) said his was an individual decision to stand. I’m more than happy to help on these things but in the end every individual has a right to do how they feel most comfortable.“F1 and all the teams are doing the best that they can so I think it’s a bit crazy to question things but that’s how the world is unfortunately.”Sebastian Vettel, who took the knee next Hamilton at the front of the grid, said he wanted to support his fellow multi world champion while also sending a powerful message.“It was to be with him making the gesture but also sending the message, the message is what really matters most,” said the Ferrari driver, who is a director of the GPDA. It is a step in the right direction but there’s no reason why we should be different to a sport like football, which is the biggest sport in the world.”Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen said on social media ahead of the race why they would not be doing so, while other drivers have explained their own personal stances as F1 returned to the Red Bull Ring on Thursday ahead of this weekend’s Styrian GP.“Formula 1 left us the choice to express ourselves in the way we wanted,” Leclerc told Sky Sports. Pirelli Formula 1 boss Mario Isola has denied suggestions the Italian company doesn't listen to the drivers when defining its future tyres.

I thought about it whether I should do it or not.“At the end of the day, I didn’t want it to be associated with the particular movement, Black Lives Matter. Originally scheduled to kick off in March, the World Championship was postponed due to coronavirus crisis, and since the return, the F1 has adopted strict guidelines to avoid the spread of virus inside the bio-secure bubble. All 10 teams have confirmed who will be driving for them this year. I think that kind of message was very strong and it got delivered to everyone.“Unfortunately, the gesture of going on the knee is against my mentality of my country where you only go on the knees in front of God, your flag and that’s about it.”Kimi Raikkonen also didn’t perform the gesture and said everyone has the right to make a personal choice.“I think generally everyone has the right to do what they feel like,” said Raikkonen.“All the drivers are definitely against racism and we all had the shirts. (Photo by Peter Fox/Getty Images)Russian driver Daniil Kvyat was another of the drivers who did not take the knee and he explained: “I am really against racism and we as a group of drivers decided that a very strong message would be wearing the T-shirts stating ‘End Racism’. However following the signing of an engine supply deal with Mercedes for 2021, it has had an agreement to use the Brackley team's drivers, so Stoffel Vandoorne and Esteban Gutierrez are available. For Haas, Louis Deletraz and Pietro Fittipaldi are the nominated F1 reserve drivers 2020.Both drivers have tested for the team in the past, with Fittipaldi conducting extensive running last year. That’s why I took the knee.Haas F1's Danish driver Kevin Magnussen. That organisation, I cannot agree with all they stand for, but I can agree to end racism and to be in support of ending discrimination against black people. I absolutely stand by that and hopefully people like me can be educated through what’s been going on.“It’s been cool to learn, devastating at times, and to understand more about it.”“But I think the main thing to focus on is that we were all there supporting We Race As One, and I think it was quite a powerful image.
