Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel have been slammed by the FIA's top man for "imposing their beliefs" on people through Formula 1.
Both have done a lot of work in recent years to promote inclusivity, while using their fame and influence to raise awareness of human rights issues. Hamilton is working to create more career paths for black people in motorsport, while Vettel's passion is in tackling LGBTQ+ discrimination.
But both were used as examples by the FIA president when asked "what the sport should not become" in a recent interview. Mohammed ben Sulayem told GrandPrix247 : "Niki Lauda and Alain Prost only cared about driving. Now, Vettel drives a rainbow bicycle, Lewis is passionate about human rights and [Lando] Norris addresses mental health.
