The world governing body for Formular One, International Automobile Federation (FIA), has said drivers risk being sanctioned by the body if they use the platform to advocate for personal and political causes.

The FIA President, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, has said all drivers will need a written permission before making any “political, religious and personal statements,” from next season following an update of the International Sporting Code.

Sulayem, a Dubai-born former rally driver was quoted by Sky Sports as saying, “We are concerned with building bridges. You can use sport for peace reasons, but one thing we don’t want is to have the FIA as a platform for private personal agenda.“If there is anything, you take the permission. If not, if they make any other mistake, it’s like speeding in the pit lane. If you do it, it’s very clear what you get.
