The FIA have added a new rule for 2🍸023 that drivers cannot make “personal, religious and political statements” unless given written permission.

Mercedes drive🐠r Hamilton is among the most vocꦕal and powerful with his statements on issues outside of F1.

F1 CEO Domenicali told Sky about the situation🧔: “My position is very simple. We race⛦ as one. To promote discussion and use our platform in the right way.

“I do not believe [it is about] preventing the driver from communicating with the community. It is a matter o♋f respect.

“What𝔉 I don’t like is when you say something to attack another🅷. That is wrong.

“You are a driver. Respect ♊the partners you work wit📖h.

“You need to be bala🃏nced. No-one will put barriers up. Unless it is political because we are a sport.

“To highlight attention on certain subjects that are at the centre of discussion? No problem. I🎶’m sure the FIA share ꦕthat view.

“There are places where you can do it. But 🌞respect your partners. You must follow the process.

“I don’t want to overstep.”

Drivers unite: "Control, concern, unnecessary" 

Drivers have criticised the rule im👍plemented by the FIA.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Valtteri Bottas said “I don’t understand why the want to control us” and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Albon claimed all drivers are “concerned”.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen called the new rule “unnecessary”.

But not everybody is against it.

Former driver 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:David Coulthard said: “It's a 🦋bit like an acceptance speech at the Oscars. If everyone uses the opportunity to make a political statement, there is no issue that is not important to someone.

"So we either have to mention everything, or maybe it's bet🤪ter not to say anything at all and concentrate on the sport♊. 

“I understand that there are people who promote freedom of speech and all that, and that is absolutely an important thing to keep in♋ mind, but I also think that we have to remember that it is the sporting rules that we are talking about, not some political regul✅ation."
