Seven-time Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton has indicated his unease about the sport’s return to Saudi Arabia
at a press conference on Thursday. The Mercedes driver along with Red Bull’s Sergio Perez, Lance Stroll from Aston Martin, Alpine’s Esteban Ocon and Kevin Magnussen of Haas were the second group to be interviewed at an official FIA press conference as part of Thursday’s media day a head of the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix this weekend. Drivers were asked about their thoughts on being back in Jeddah after last year’s race was marred by a missile strike on an oil refinery.
“Carrying out these executions on the eve of the Jeddah Grand Prix is a brazen display of impunity by the Saudi authorities, confident that the sport and its commercial partners will stay silent, and that the pageantry of F1 will distract from the bloodshed. “Drivers are being put in the impossible position of wondering how many more will be executed over the four days of qualifying and racing. The sport’s human rights problem has never been more glaring,” Foa added.
