F1 drivers ‘concerned’ by FIA ban on political statements, says Albon

00:59Last modified on Mon 6 Feb 2023 17.17 GMTdrivers are “concerned” about the FIA’s move to ban political statements.

In 2020, F1 launched the We Race as One campaign to combat inequality and increase sustainability. But speaking at Williams’ season launch, Albon said: “We are all concerned. We know politics and stances are sensitive areas but we need clarity from the FIA on what they are trying to tell us. “A lot of people look to us as spokespeople for issues around the world, and I do feel it is a responsibility for drivers to make people aware of these kind of situations.”Albon, 26, is gearing up for his fourth season in F1 and second with Williams. The former Red Bull driver scored points on just three occasions last year as Williams propped up the constructors’ table after a disappointing campaign for the British team.
