Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc hit back on Thursday at those who accused him of racist behavior in not taking a knee alongside other Formula One drivers before grands prix.

While six-times champion Lewis Hamilton has worn a “Black Lives Matter” T-shirt and taken a knee before all four races to date this season, drivers are free to choose their individual gesture of support.
