Formula One drivers are no longer allowed to make “political, religious and personal statements,” without previous approval, according to the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA).
The governing body added a new article to the International Sporting Code, which states that the following is a breach of the rules: “The general making and display of political, religious and personal statements or comments notably in violation of the general principle of neutrality promoted by the FIA under its Statutes, unless previously approved in writing by the FIA for International Competitions, or by the relevant ASN for National Competitions within their jurisdiction.
