Seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton vowed on Wednesday to continue speaking out despite Formula One's governing body clamping down on drivers making 'political' statements.
"It doesn't surprise me, but nothing will stop me from speaking on the things that I'm passionate about and issues that there are.
"But I am still going to be speaking my mind as we still have this platform, there are still a lot of things we need to tackle." Team mate George Russell said the FIA's move was "totally unnecessary" and was confident the situation would be resolved before the start of the season on March 5.
