168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton says F1 has reached a “pivotal moment” as off-track controversi𓃲es continue to make headlines and overshadow the sport.

Last weekend’s season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix was dominated by stories about Red Bull team principal Christian Horner, who was cleared of inappropriate behaviour before an anonymous email including messages purporting to involve Horner were leaked a day later, putting him under 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:fresh scrutiny.

Since Bahrain, it has emerged that FIA president 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mohammed Ben Sulayem is being investigated𝕴 for an alleged attempt to interfere with an F1 race. Separately, Ben Sulayem allegedly told officials not to certify🔯 last year’s Las Vegas Grand Prix.

"As someone who loves the sport, it's definitely disappointing to see what's going on right now,” Hamilton said when asked if it saddened him that off-t𓂃rack events where dominating the sport ahead of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

“It doesn't look good from the o🐭utside world, the outside looking in. I think it's a really, really important time for the sport to really show and stick to its values, holding ourselves accountable for our actions.

“And it's a really, really pi✨votal moment, I think, for the sport, in terms of what we projec𝄹t to the world, and how it's handled. And it's not been handled very well to this point.

“Transparency is really key. And I'm really, really 🌳hoping to see some p⛎rogress moving forwards.

“I hope it's not a year that continues to go on with this. But it h𒁏ighlights some of the issues we also have within the sport.

“And when we're talking aꦅbout diversity, inclusion, that inclusion for example, and making people feel comfortable in this environment, is key. And it's clearly not the case.”

He added: ℱ"This is not the part of the sport that I love. But you find these things, I guess, in busines♚s. It definitely is an interesting time.”

Considering the possible impact the Horner saga could have on Red Bull, with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen's father, Jos, wading in on the matter amid suggestions of tension within the camp, Hamilton cited his own experiences at McLaren🍸 at a time when Ron Dennis was facing questions over his leadership.

“Just from my experience obviously having gone through something similar back in the day when I was at McLaren, in the sense of our leader was in question, and was going♓ through a difficult time. And it affected everybody,” Hamilton said.

“I remember kind of when we were🧔 losing Ron, for example, the things that Ron wa♉s going through, and the steps that we had to take, it affected all of us.

“A leader is super important because they set t♓he tone, they make sure the team sticks to the core values of what 🅠the sport is about, and integrity.

“And꧋ whilst there are loads of people further down the troওugh who are just as important, that leader is key, I think, to the destination that you're working towards.”
