I see where you are coming from but there are Asians, Italians, Mexicans, British etc. all religions, colors(hate having to even use that as a representation, we should all be colorblind!) and countries are represented. List can go on and on. I just don’t see that it’s not diverse imo. Honestly don’t think there’s even an American driver though if you really bring up diversity in that sort. Lewis Hamilton is a legend, goat and now a knight and it’s because he earned it. I just hope if it gets as diverse as the way you want to see it, that it’s because the drivers earned it. Not because of politics. -a brown man
