F1 drivers launch campaign to encourage vaccination against COVID-19
In a video released by F1, the ♛19 drivers were joined by FIA president Jean Todt and F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali encouraging anyone 🍨that can to get vaccinated to “protect themselves and their communities” from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton and 2021 title rival Max Verstappen are among those who feature in the video, with only Alfa🦩 Romeo’s Kimi Raikkonen absent out of the current field of F1 drivers.
The recent emergence of the Omicron va🅘riant has led to several European countries re-introducing restrictions and even full lockdowns.
“We’re finding our 💧way back to things we love, but Covid has not gone away,” said🥂 Hamilton.
Protect our communities. Protect each other.

Please, if you're able - get vaccinated.
