💬 'It’s like speeding in the pit lane. If you do it, it’s very clear what you get.” FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has once again warned drivers of using F1 as a “platform for personal agenda”
“We are concerned with building bridges,” Ben Sulayem said.
“You can use sport for peace reasons, but one thing we don’t want is to have the FIA as a platform for private personal agenda. We will divert from the sport. “What does the driver do best? Driving. They are so good at it, and they make the business, they make the show, they are the stars. Nobody is stopping them.
“There are other platforms to express what they want. Everybody has this and they are most welcome to go through the process of the FIA, to go through that.”The FIA president also hinted that drivers will be punished if they push their own agendas, making an unusual comparison to “speeding in the pit lane” - which is a clear cut fine orp penalty if a driver is found guilty of doing so.
“I have my own personal things, okay, but it doesn’t mean I will use the FIA to do it,” Ben Sulayem added
