Lewis Hamilton slammed the FIA over its rule change to ban protests and political points on Formula 1 race weekends.
Previously, drivers were able to use their platforms to express opinions on important social subjects such as discrimination and the environment. Hamilton has been one of the more prolific when it comes to exercising that right, as was the now retired Sebastian Vettel.
But one of the biggest stories of the off-season emerged in December when the FIA changed the rules. In order for a driver to make a "political, religious or personal statement", they must now seek prior permission from the governing body.
