With the 2023 Formula One season under a month away, individuals in the sport have started addressing a controversial rule change made by the FIA in December, and F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali is the latest to comment.
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.”
Drivers like Max Verstappen, Valtteri Bottas and Alex Albon have spoken out about the restrictive rule, and Domenicali told the Guardian, “F1 will never put a gag on anyone.”
