OPINION: FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem should forget about stamping out swearing and focus on topics that actually matter

The FIA's crackdown on profanity has been a major talking point ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix and the late stages of the 2024 F1 season, in which Hamilton currently sits sixth in the World Championship standings with victories in the British and Belgian Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton believes there is a “racial element” to FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem’s claim that Formula One drivers should not act like rappers. Ben Sulayem made the contentious comment in an interview in which he said F1 stars have a responsibility to stop swearing on the radio.
