Lewis Hamilton’s father, Anthony, is poised to assume an official role at the FIA, supporting the governing body in its young driver program. His involvement, initially as an advisor over the past 18 months, will be formalized during the upcoming FIA conference in Macau, coinciding with the launch of the FIA’s Young Driver Development Pathway. Hamilton impressed FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem with his contributions to facilitate young drivers’ progression from grassroots to professional levels. This initiative does not impact Lewis Hamilton’s relationship with Ben Sulayem, despite past disagreements regarding governance approaches. Ben Sulayem recently adjusted penalties for radio swearing, aiming to create a more positive environment in motorsport. As Ben Sulayem prepares for re-election, Carlos Sainz Sr, another F1 figure, contemplates entering the presidential race, with no confirmed opponents yet. Conversations surrounding rule changes within the FIA management persist, with drivers like George Russell echoing the need for transparency and collaboration. Amidst ongoing developments, Lewis Hamilton and other F1 personalities emphasize the necessity of constructive changes within the FIA for the sport’s future.
