Zak Brown to ESPN: 'I think in general we want to be a sport that is doing good. 'We just need to find a balance there and not have every start of a race being a new political agenda for someone. I don’t think that’s healthy.' F1
The FIA recently announced that in a bid to maintain neutrality, anybody at an FIA-sanctioned event will now need approval from the governing body to speak out on matters of importance to them.
“It’s tricky, right? Because some of the topics are really good, some are controversial, some are polarising,” he told“I think in general we want to be a sport that is doing good. We just need to find a balance there and not have every start of a race being a new political agenda for someone. I don’t think that’s healthy as it can detract from what everyone has tuned in to, which is they want to watch a grand prix.
“These drivers can do this stuff in their own time, so I think it is within Formula 1 and the FIA’s right to say ‘here’s the code of conduct we expect for you to follow during a grand prix weekend. You’re free to do whatever you want to do Monday through to Friday’, so to speak, but obviously it’s at a grand prix weekend the drivers have the most cameras on them.
“I think that’s what we’re trying to avoid, let’s not turn Formula 1 into a political sport. Let’s just go racing and be respectful of where we’re racing.
