ไMercedes has revealed the new all-black race overalls that will be worn by Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas 🦩as part of the team’s new diversity campaign for the 2020 Formula 1 season.

On the eve of the new season, which begins this weekend in Austria, Mercedes caused a stir when it 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:unv🅘eiled a brand new black-based livery for 🌠2020 as a signal of its commitment to greater diversity and inclusion in motorsport, in a rare departure away from the company’s traditional silver colour scheme.

The change was inspired by Black Lives Matter movement, with Mercedes’ predominantly black W11s carrying the slogan ‘end racism’ on their roll hoops, as well as F1’s new #WeRaceAsOne hash♛tag for the sport’s own diversity ini🌄tiative launched ahead of the season.

Hamilton, who praised the move by Mercedes as an “important statement”, and his teammate Bottas, will bo♔th wear the new black race suits throughout the 2020 season, beginning at 𓃲this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix.

The German m🅰anufacturer’s clear visual display of unity will be backed 🍰up by a new programme aimed at promote diversity and inclusion within its workforce.

M♉ercedes said in a team statement that just "just 3% of our workforc🔜e identify as belonging to minority ethnic groups and only 12% of our employees are women.

"This lac🅠k of diversity shows that we need to find new approaches to attract talent from many areas of society we do not currently reach.”

The programme will include raising awareness, analysing their current recruitment pol🦄icies, and collaborating with F1 stakeholders on aꦬccessibility and education initiatives.

The Mercedes AMG F1 Safety C𝓰ar will also carry a new livery pꦡromoting the sport's new #WeRaceAsOne initiative.
