The Aston Martin Formula One team announced on Tuesday (Jun 1) a partnership with the Racing Pride movement and said it will work through June to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ diversity in the male-dominated sport.
Â
Racing Pride was founded in 2019 to create visibility for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community in motorsport and challenge negative stereotypes and misconceptions.
Â
Aston Martin said the campaign will run across Pride Month, aligning with Formula One's #WeRaceAsOne initiative.
Â
Racing Pride logos will appear on the race cars at the June 20 French Grand Prix.
Â
"I congratulate the people who have pushed the discussion that has led to wider inclusion," said four-times world champion Sebastian Vettel, who drives for the team along with Canadian Lance Stroll, in a statement.
Â
"Equally, I’m aware that more needs to be done to change attitudes and remove much of the remaining negativity," added the German.
