Sebastian Vettel spoke of his 'surprise' that F1 chiefs have decided to drop the knee gesture prior to races.
Earlier this week, the sport's chiefs decided to pull the plug on the gesture before the start of the 2022 season - despite several drivers, most notably Lewis Hamilton, vocal about promoting racial equality both within F1 and wider society.
"The [knee] gesture was important for the ones that believed that was an important gesture, because we need to respect everyone," F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali told Sky Sports.
