MELBOURNE : Seven-times Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton has applauded Susie Wolff for taking legal action against the governing FIA, saying he hopes it will improve transparency and accountability in the sport.

In the lead up to the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday, Mercedes driver Hamilton said he was incredibly proud of Wolff and described her as brave for standing up in a world where"people are often silenced". The FIA did not provide immediate comment to Reuters on Thursday about Wolff's legal action or Hamilton's comments.

Wolff's legal action follows internal strife at F1 team Red Bull, whose boss Christian Horner was cleared of alleged misconduct after a complaint by a female employee. "And that is a terrible narrative to be projecting to the world, especially when we're talking about inclusivity here in the sport. We need to make sure that we stay true to the core values."
