The Mercedes Silver Arrows are painted black at the start of the Formula 1 season to support the fight against racism. That smells a bit penetrating after PR campaign. But be it. Maybe something is really happening – also in another field.

IIt is interesting that Mercedes has recently protested against discrimination against black cars. For this purpose, even the traditional silver arrows have now been painted black for the late start of Formula 1. Clear positioning is trending these days. Or is the picture deceptive? Mercedes says: Yes, that’s wrong. The repainting is said to be against racism.

The fast Swabians also jump on this train, with which you can currently take a good-conscience journey into the world of values ​​on a cheap ticket. The core Formula 1 philosophy has always been based on the right of the fittest. But the black Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton, six times world champion in this business, has inspired his racing team.

The Stuttgart spray nozzle coup still smells a bit pungent of PR campaigns, but be that as it may: the number of “members of ethnic minorities” will really increase in the Mercedes racing team soon. And next, they may have a woman behind the wheel. Oh, what: we simply demand a women’s quota in the driver field The paint is ready.
