Lewis Hamilton has been sent an emotional plea from a prisoner, calling on the Englishman to not be 'muzzled' by the FIA. The call comes after the FIA banned Formula 1 drivers from making unapproved political protests on race weekends.
Seven-time world champion Hamilton has often used his platform on the grid to make important statements, often in regard to human rights abuses. Most notably the Englishman has displayed protests in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
These statements however may well be no more, with the FIA ruling that any protest must now be approved by the governing body prior to race weekend.
