SULAYEM: "NO FORGIVENESS" IF HAMILTON BREACHED FIA GALA RULES

By: Jonathan Noble
Dec 17, 2021, 4:37 PM


NEW FIA PRESIDENT MOHAMMED BEN SULAYEM SAYS LEWIS HAMILTON CAN BE GIVEN "NO
FORGIVENESS" IF HE IS FOUND TO HAVE BREACHED FORMULA 1'S RULES IN MISSING THE
ANNUAL PRIZE-GIVING GALA.

Listen to this article

In the wake of the controversy over the safety car restart at the Abu Dhabi
Grand Prix that has left Hamilton disillusioned with the sport, he and his team
boss Toto Wolff elected to miss the FIA end-of-season gathering in Paris on
Thursday night.



Hamilton's absence, as runner-up in the drivers' championship, appears to be a
breach of F1's Sporting Regulations.

Article 6.6 of the rules states: "The drivers finishing first, second and third
in the Championship must be present at the annual FIA Prize Giving ceremony."

One of Sulayem's first responsibilities since taking over will be to judge
whether or not Hamilton's absence from the event goes against the regulations.

Speaking about the situation in his first official press conference at
president, Sulayem said: "At the end of the day, rules are rules.

"So we are going to look into the side of where the technical rules are there to
be employed and was he in breach? I have to look into it."

He added: "Of course, we'll have to be also be following our rules. But in the
meanwhile, it doesn't stop us from making a champion feel good about the sport,
you know.

"It's easy to be nice to people. And it is cheap to be nice. And it's also to
motivate people. But definitely, if there is any breach, there is no forgiveness
in this."

Sulayem said that critical for the FIA to understand was whether or not Hamilton
did break the regulations, as he admitted that the world champion was 'broken'
by the events of the weekend.

Asked to clarify if he could really rule out any "forgiveness", Sulayem said:
"Forgiveness is always there, but rules are rules. We look at the rules.

"And I always say: rules are not made. A human made them...and they can be
improved and changed by humans. So the rules are there to be improved.



"I know that Lewis is really sad about what happened and one word I would say is
he's broken. But we have to look if there was any breach.

"I cannot [say for now]. It's just a few hours now I've been a president, and
I've just started giving answers without going back to the facts."

If Hamilton is found guilty, then he could face a financial penalty for his
absence rather than any sporting sanction.
