Lewis Hamilton accuses FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem of racially charged comments regarding reducing expletive language in F1 broadcasts.
Formula 1 icon Lewis Hamilton has accused FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem of making racially charged comments. The controversy stems from Ben Sulayem's remarks about reducing the use of expletive language in F1 broadcasts, which he compared to the language often heard in rap music.Ben Sulayem, in an interview with Autosport, commented ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix:'We have to differentiate between our sport – motorsport – and rap music.'We're not rappers, you know.
These incidents have prompted the FIA to consider stricter regulations to maintain professionalism in public broadcasts.The seven-time champion acknowledged the importance of reducing swearing, especially given the sport's broad audience, which includes children.'When I was 22, I did not think of it as much and it was more about your emotions just firing and saying whatever comes to mind and forgetting however many people are listening and kids listening, and all those kinds of things.
