Israeli race car driver Ariel Elkin achieved third place in the USA Formula 4 championship.
When called to the winner’s podium, Ariel declined to remove his helmet to hold up his trophy alongside the other winners.
Instead, he kept his helmet on, adorned with images of Israeli hostages, aiming to raise awareness about Hamas’s continued captivity of Israelis in Gaza.
Ariel’s racing success is commendable, but his commitment to advocating for the hostages deserves even greater praise.
Mazel Tov and we wish Ariel much Hatzlacha on his exciting career!
