The FIA바카라s original rule barred 바카라political, religious and personal statements바카라 without prior consent, and expressed no limitations on where that restriction applied. Drivers were nearly unanimous in their criticism of the ruling and seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton said he would not follow the ban.
The guidance issued on Friday puts limits on when the FIA can apply the rules 바카라 and the restrictions will be upheld during pre- and post-race events and on the track.
The guidance noted drivers 바카라can express their views on any political, religious or personal matter before, during and after바카라 the race 바카라in their own space, and outside the scope of the international competition.바카라
The FIA will permit the freedom of speech 바카라through their own social media, during interviews with accredited media and during the FIA press conference, only in response to direct questions from journalists.바카라
The FIA will allow 바카라exceptional바카라 circumstances in which it could grant a driver the ability to make a political statement 바카라at an international competition that would otherwise be prohibited바카라 if that request is submitted to the governing body four weeks in advance of an event.
The driver must 바카라provide reason(s) why such permission should be granted.바카라
The FIA noted 바카라the updates cement the FIA바카라s longstanding commitment to protecting motor sport바카라s neutrality, and will particularly ensure neutrality during key moments across all motor sport competitions, such as podiums, national anthems and official activities 바카라on the field of play바카라 - it does not impose any additional restrictions on individuals expressing their views outside of these times.
바카라It was necessary to provide a separate guidance document to facilitate the implementation of the principles of neutrality across the many different motor sport disciplines.바카라
Hamilton this week said 바카라nothing will stop me from speaking on the things that I am passionate about and the issues that there are.
바카라I feel the sport does have a responsibility to speak out on things and raise awareness on certain topics, particularly as we travel to all these places, so nothing changes for me,바카라 he added.
George Russell, his teammate at Mercedes and a director of the Grand Prix Drivers바카라 Association, has called the rule 바카라silly바카라 and 바카라totally unnecessary.바카라
