In 2022, Mercedes introduced the ‘Pride Star’ emblem on the nose of their car for all races held in June, and they have confirmed its return ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix, sharing the news on Twitter. The team tweeted, “The Pride Star is back. Raising awareness and supporting the LGBT+ community,” accompanied by an image of the redesigned emblem.
At the 2022 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, seven-time World Champion Hamilton expressed his immense pride in the initiative. He remarked, “I’m really proud of what we’re doing with Mercedes with our Pride Month star, or ‘Pride Star’ on the car, which is the first time I’ve seen that in my time at Mercedes. It’s just amazing.”
Hamilton continued, “We have more than 100,000 people at Mercedes-Benz, and creating a more inclusive environment is so important, and focusing on creating better diversity within your organization is also so important within the sport.”
