Is it time that F1 faces sharper criticism for some of the places it signs deals with to go racing? Well, samcooper_ argues that time has indeed come.
Opinion: Sharper criticism is needed if F1 is going to stop selling its soulWhen the 2022 FIFA World Cup was taking place, hosts Qatar were put under an intense spotlight. News reports and live coverage was caveated with an exposure of the various crimes against humanity the country was committing on a near daily basis.
The 2023 season, with its record-breaking 23 races, begins this weekend and does so in a country that has been criticised for what the human rights activist group Human Rights Watch described as a “dismal” record of defending basic human rights. F1’s defence has often been that they go to these kinds of countries to promote human rights and yet, a decade on, the situation is much the same.
And yet, Bahrain is not an outlier. A week after the opening race, the sport moves on to Jeddah and Saudi Arabia.
