By late morning, it’s Red Bull’s turn to post a message on the social network with the little blue bird. The Austrian team also condemns these acts.
Although we are fierce rivals on the track, we are all united against racism. We condemn any kind of racist attacks towards our team, our rivals, our fans, reads a post from the team based in Milton Keynes.
« As a team, we are disgusted and saddened to see the racist attacks Lewis suffered on social media yesterday after the collision with Max. There will never be any excuse for this, there is certainly no place for this in our sport and those responsible will have to answer for their actions.
A few moments after the publication of this short statement, Mercedes responded to their rival team for the drivers’ and constructors’ titles by publishing: “We are rivals on the track. We are united off it.”
