MANAMA, BAHRAIN - Formula One drivers will gather together on the grid ahead of Sunday's season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix to raise awareness of Unicef's emergency fundraising appeal for its programmes helping children and families in Ukraine and other conflict zones, the sport said on Sunday.
The 20 drivers will stand on the grid behind a banner in support of the appeal, urging fans to consider donating to the appeal by Unicef, the United Nations children's agency. Formula One and teams have already made a"generous donation", the sport said, without specifying a number. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Feb 24, more than three million have fled the fighting for other countries, according to United Nations data, in what has become Europe's fastest growing refugee crisis since World War Two.
