Hamilton questions sustainability
The seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton despite being a guest in Baku to receive the third place trophy in his category, he didn’t skimp criticism of the Federationprimarily in relation to the management of the case concerning the Wolff spouses and subsequently on the sustainability of the FIA Prize Giving.
“Given that I really like Baku and it’s a really fantastic place, I wonder what the Federation thinks about sustainability. Because so many people had to take a plane to get herewhile the FIA is currently in Paris and it would have been easier to organize it there“, these are the words of the Mercedes driver.
Correct observation, but not accepted by the Federation, given that just yesterday it was decided to host the 2024 event in Kigali city, Rwandadated December 13th.
