They are all Democrats?

...b/c it’s just that important ❤️. GameOver racists RacismMustFall

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Albon was robbed by Hamilton.

Ok, and that does what?

Mmmph... I've never watched F-1 racing but if I did I'd never it watch again!! Signed, racists.

F1 can kiss my wide load. Totally unAmerican.

Black racists are the worst...oportunists, populists, suckers...

But no one will give a black driver a chance.

45 won't like that.

One more sport I won’t be watching.

Nah, they just knelt to the mob.

Thanks, most wouldn’t have known otherwise

Love it

That's not solidarity, its slavery.

True Americans kneel for no man

There's no reason to go after this story, just remember after BLM ANTIFA CHINAVIRUS never vote democrat

Thank you Austian team!

Lmao

Not everyone. Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, Kimi Raikkonen, Antonio Giovinazzi, Carlos Sainz i Danil Kwiat. They didn't. AllLivesMatter

❤😍

I hate watching white people take knees. they should move out of the way and let black drivers join if they really care

Idiots! I bet many of them don’t even believe in that “symbolism” ....🤮 what a bunch of girls!!
