Paul Scriven, a Liberal Democrat life peer, has written to Ben Sulayem to express his concerns about both the FIA's clampdown on drivers making political statements, as well as the president's failure to respond to correspondence sent last year.
In the letter, a copy of which has been seen by Motorsport.com, Lord Scriven explains that he was one of 90 lawmakers who wrote to motor racing's governing body last March to express their unease about the human rights implications of F1 racing in Gulf countries and undertaking, what they felt, was sports-washing.
