Hello BlueSky people

Yuki: “I nearly got sent back home"
He had the required visas and has raced in USA before, but this time was questioned & held for nearly 3 hours because he 'didn't look like an F1 driver'.
People who get angry at LH44 for using his platform to talk about racism need to take a good long look.
