Been in place for a while, lot of division brewing between the FIA and FOM (Formula One Management). Not surprised they waited for Vettel to leave to bring this in as now it's only really Hamilton who'll be speaking out about things like that.
What's even more ridiculous is that apparently Lando Norris' work with Mind (a mental health charity, https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/your-stories/can-we-just-talk/) is included in his definition of "political, religious & personal statements"
Formula 1 drivers now banned by the (Emirati) president of the FIA from making any “political, religious and personal statements” without written permission. This is where sportswashing gets you to.
