Formula 1 boss Stefano Domenicali says it is time to move from “gestures” to “action” to increase diversity in motorsport. But the sport is changing the way it promotes its diversity push before races. From this season, drivers are still free to take the knee if they wish, but there will be no formal ceremony for it. However, there will still be a pre-race video involving the drivers that promotes anti-racism and diversity. “Now it’s the matter of [changing] gesture, to action. Now the action is the focus on the diversity of our community, and this [programme for students] is the first step.”.
