FIA boss Mohammed ben Sulayem has joined Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen in condemning the social media 'toxicity' currently plaguing Formula 1. At the recent Mexican Grand Prix, Verstappen and his Red Bull teammates all boycotted interviews with Sky Sports, after pit-lane reporter Ted Kravitz claimed Hamilton was 'robbed' of the 2021 world title, in which the Dutchman prevailed.
Discussing the issue, the two-time defending world champion said: "Social media is a very toxic place and if you are constantly being like that live on TV then you are making it worse instead of trying to make it better." These thoughts were echoed by Hamilton who finished behind Verstappen in Mexico City late last month.
The seven-time world champion said: "Social media is getting more and more toxic as the years go on and we should all come off it, ultimately.
