6 Formula 1 heroes refused to kneel; 14 obeyed their masters During todays Formula 1 premier in Austria, 14 out of 20 Formula 1 drivers chose to kneel for their masters, cheered on by F1's own Bubba Wallace and current world champion, Lewis Hamilton.

Lewis, born and raised by a white mother, never misses an opportunity to play the race card, even though he is – like Bubba – an obvious mulatto. In 1998, a 13 year old Lewis was recruited by white as can be Ron Dennis of McLaren, which paid for his junior career and rewarded him with a Formula 1 seat in the dominant (but fragile) 2007 McLaren MP4-22. Lewis thanked Dennis for his support by leaving the team at the end of the 2012 season.

**The heroes were:**
* Max Verstappen
* Antonio Giovinazzi
* Daniil Kvyat
* Carlo Sainz
* Charles Leclerc
* Kimi Raikkonen
