Lewis Hamilton says the FIA’s new restrictions to curb free speech for F1 drivers will not stop him from speaking out on issues
on Wednesday, Hamilton said the rule came as no surprise, but vowed he would continue to speak out on issues he cares about.“But nothing will stop me from speaking on the things that I’m passionate about, and on issues that there are.
“The sport does have a responsibility still to speak out, to create awareness on important topics, particularly as we travel to all these different places.Asked if he would be prepared to accept any penalty the FIA may threaten him with, Hamilton replied: “I think It would be silly to say that I would want to get penalty points for speaking out on things.
