Lewis Hamilton has called on the FIA and its෴ president, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, to improve communication with the Grand Prix Driver🎃s’ Association.

At the end of last year, the GPDA - which re🎃presents the cur🌼rent crop of F1 drivers - took aim at Ben Sulayem.

This followed 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen being 𓂃punished for swearing during an FIA press conference.

to “consider his tone and language.”

They also requested th🍸at the FIA disclose where fi꧟nes paid by drivers are spent, to improve transparency and openness.

It appearꦇs the GPDA is still no closer to having direct contact 🌄with Ben Sulayem or the FIA.

In the World Rally Championshipafter Hyundai WRC driver🐎൩ Adrien Fourmaux was penalised for swearing.

Changes to controversial FIA rule?

In a recent Instagram post, Ben Sulayem hinted that there would be changes to the FIA’s rules arou🐬nd swearing following🍨 the WRC situation.

Speaking in the FIA press conference on Thursday for the Miami Grand Prix, Hamilton called for greater collaboration with F1’s governi൩ng body.

“I think ultimately the GPDA is very unified,” Hamilton said. “I think ultimately we want 🍸to work closely with the FIA. All of us want to make the sport continue to work together and make the sport better. Of course, we’ve faced a bit of an uphill challenge in that communication over tim🍸e.

“Ultimatꦺely, we don’t hold a power seat at the table and that needs to change in my opinion. If you look at other sports that have unions that may be something that comes into play at some stage. As I said, we don’t want to control things, we want to collaborate with t🌃hem more and have our voices heard.

“People making decisions for others that have never 🍎be🌊en in that position, it’s good to have a point of view from the driver’s perspective. That’s all we try to give.” 

Russell, who is head of the GPDA, fee𓃲ls the focus has been on too many issues away from t♏he track, such as swearing.

“I feel like it’s unprecedented times that wꦏe’ve been in the last 18 months with what’s been changing, what’s happening,”𓂃 Russell explained.

“I think when the GPDA was founded years ago it wasn’t really to talk about politics. It was to talk about safety, improvements of the sport, improvement of the racing. Especially myself. I find myself talking about topics that I di♑dn’t really have any intention of talking about but we find ourselves in a time where we’re not focused on the things why we’re all here.

“We’re here to go racing. We’re her꧟e to create the best show for the fans, to have the fastest cars, the safest cars. The best technology, the best engineering but ꦗyet we talk about fines and punishment, swearing.

“Maybe something should change. We’re open to it but we just ultimately want the꧂ best for the sport.”
