Lewis Hami🎶lton has called on the FIA and its president, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, to improve communication with the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association.

to “consider his tone and language.”

They aꩵlso requested that the FIA disclose where fines paid by drivers are spent, to improve transparency and openness.

It appears the GPDA is still no closer to having direꦉct contact ꦺwith Ben Sulayem or the FIA.

Changes to controversial FIA rule?

Speaking in the FIA presཧs conference on Thursday for the Miami Grand Prix, Hamilton called for greater collaboration with F1’s governing body.

“I think ultimately the GPDA is very unified,” Hamilton sai꧂d. “I think ultimately we want to work closely with the FIA. All of us want to make the sport continue to work together and make the sport b🧸etter. Of course, we’ve faced a bit of an uphill challenge in that communication over time.

“Ultimately, we don’t hold a power seat at the table and that needs to change in my opinion. If y⛎ou look at other sports that have unions that may be something t🦹hat comes into play at some stage. As I said, we don’t want to control things, we want to collaborate with them more and have our voices heard.

“People making decisions for others that have never been in that position, it’s good to have a point of view from the driver’s perspective. That’s all we try ✤to give.” 😼;

Russell, who is head of the GPDA, feels the focus has been on too many issues away f▨rom the track, such as swearing.

“I feel like it’s unprecedented times 💦that we’ve been in the last 18 months with what’s been changing, what’s happening,” Russell explained.

“I think when the GPDA was founded years ago it wasn’t really to talk about politics. It was to talk about safety, improvements of the sport, improvement of the racing. Especially myself. I find myself talking about topics that I didn’t really have any intention of talking about but we find ourselves in a time whe🀅re we’re not focused on the things why we’re all here.

“We’re here to go racing. We’re her♋e to create the best show for the fans, to have the fastest cars, the safest cars. The best technology, the best engineering but yet we talk about fines and punishment, swearing.

“Maybe something shouꦕld change. We’re open to it but we just ultimately want the best foꦡr the sport.”
