Lewis Hamilton and his fellow drivers have been urged to boycott Formula 1 races by politicians, if the sport fails to improve its stance around 'sportswashing' and human rights abuses.
The issue has been heavily raised within F1 for a number of years, with the decision to hold races in the likes of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia coming under heavy scrutiny due to the poor human rights records in those countries. Hamilton himself has been a huge advocate for more to be done - speaking out on multiple race weekends.
The discussion has once again become a hot topic with F1 due to kick off their 2023 season at the Bahrain Grand Prix later this week.
