Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton has issued an apology to FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem after previously criticizing him for comments comparing “racial” issues to rap music that includes swearing.
The controversy arose when Ben Sulayem made remarks about the use of inappropriate language in rap music in the context of a broader discussion on racial matters. Hamilton initially condemned the comparison, expressing concerns about the insensitivity of such a statement.
However, following further reflection and private discussions, Hamilton has now offered a public apology. He acknowledged that while he felt strongly about the issue, his reaction may have intensified the situation. Hamilton reaffirmed his commitment to using his platform to promote inclusivity and understanding within the sport, emphasizing the importance of constructive dialogue.
This apology is seen as an effort to ease tensions between the two influential figures in Formula 1, both of whom play crucial roles in shaping the future of the sport. The FIA has not yet commented on Hamilton’s apology, but the incident has sparked renewed discussions about diversity and representation in motorsport.
