Mohammed Ben SoulayemFIA president is determined to put an end to drivers’ insults and rude comments on the radio.
In statements to ‘Motorsport’, the Arab explained that the racers should behave better and not like “rappers”, those who see less education.
“We have to differentiate our sport and our rap music. We are not rappers, you know. How many times do they swear per minute? We’re not talking about that. “They are them and we are us,” he said.
This comparison has irritated Lewis Hamiltonwho during the previous Singapore Grand Prix He criticized Ben Sulayem for some comments in which he saw racist connotations.
“I don’t like the way he put it, saying rappers is very stereotypical, and most rappers are black. That was a poor choice of words. There is a racist touch there.“, he explained in ‘Autosport’.
Of course, Hamilton sheds some light on the problem: “I’m sure if you put sanctionspeople will stop doing it.”
On the other hand, during the same press conference, Max Verstappen has assured that he will continue to use foul language on the radio.
