Max Verstappen zal zondagmiddag op de grid in Oostenrijk niet knielen om te protesteren tegen racisme, maar staat volledig achter de strijd tegen racisme en ongelijkheid. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc zal overigens evenmin knielen.
I am very committed to equality and the fight against racism. But I believe everyone has the right to express themself at a time and in a way that suits them. I will not take the knee today but respect and support the personal choices every driver makes #WeRaceAsOne #EndRacism

I believe that what matters are facts and behaviours in our daily life rather than formal gestures that could be seen as controversial in some countries. I will not take the knee but this does not mean at all that I am less committed than others in the fight against racism.
