'We have our right to share our views across whatever platform we wish.' George Russell has described the clampdown on political statements as 'completely unnecessary' and feels it is a 'silly regulation'
Mercedes' George Russell has described FIA’s new restrictions on political or personal statements by Formula 1 drivers as"a silly regulation" that is “totally unnecessary”The new rule, added to the International Sporting Code for this season, requires drivers to have any such statements approved by the FIA in advance.
“Naturally, we are obviously seeking clarification, and I trust it will be resolved. And I'd like to think it's been some kind of misunderstanding. There's not really a lot more I can say from that, to be honest. Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, Mick Schumacher, Mercedes Reserve Driver, Toto Wolff, Mercedes F1 Team Team Principal and CEO, Mercedes W14Russell indicated that he expects the drivers to have more information before the opening race in Bahrain.
“This is part of freedom of speech, and we have our right to share our views across whatever platform we wish. So I don't see this being a concern moving forward."
