Formula 1's class of 2021, including title contenders Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, have come together to encourage the sport's fans to get vaccinated against Covid-19.
The world continues to recover from the global pandemic, but the onslaught of the latest Omicron variant is a staunch reminder that we're not out of the woods yet.
While vaccination rates continue to rise, there are still too many people that remain reluctant to get a jab.
In a video produced by Formula 1, drivers urge fans and the public to get vaccinated or to seek a booster shot.
"We are finding our way back to things we love, but Covid has not gone away," insists Hamilton.
"Please do your bit," adds Verstappen.
Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso tells fans: "We need to be on this together and we need to be all in the same boat."
The ‘Play Your Part, Get Vaccinated’ video concludes with a a few words from departing FIA president Jean Todt and a message from F1 chief executive Stefano Domenicali who received a booster jab and who encourages all others who are eligible to get theirs.
"Vaccines and boosters are our way out of this pandemic, and we need to keep everyone safe and move forward together," says Domenicali.
"I have had my vaccine and my booster and ask everyone to do the same. Formula 1 is moving ahead, and we ask for everyone to play their part."
