F1 driver Sebastian Vettel was "reprimanded for not removing a t-shirt promoting LGBTQ+ rights ahead of the national anthem at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday." Vettel was "wearing a rainbow coloured t-shirt with the message 'Same Love' on the grid ahead of the start of the race." Three other drivers -- Valtteri Bottas, Carlos Sainz and Lance Stroll -- were also "reprimanded for failing to remove their ‘We Race As One’ t-shirts in time for the national anthem." The drivers said that they "had forgotten to take their t-shirts off because of the onset of rain." The "We Race As One" platform was launched by F1 last year; it "counts diversity, inclusivity and sustainability as its core principles" (REUTERS, 8/1).
