In a document distributed to the teams on Friday, titled, 'Guidance on the Principle of Neutrality (Article 12.2.1.n of the ISC)' the governing body explained how an update to its long-standing International Sporting Code published late in 2022 will work in practice regarding drivers making personal statements on various issues and topics.
In the document, a copy of which has been seen by Motorsport.com, the FIA insists drivers are free to express their own beliefs, but only at specific times and in certain circumstances, which generally cover the time of sporting competition (on-track action, the podium and drivers' parade).
