Anthony Hamilton to work more closely with the President of the Fia Mohammed Ben Sulayem on Young Driver Initives
Lewis Hamilton’s father, Anthony, will receive an official role at the FIA who helps the government organ with his young pilot program.
As revealed for the first time byThe timesAnd verified by Motorsport.com, Hamilton SR has worked in an advisory capacity in the last 18 months and his role will become official at the Fia conference next month in Macao, where the government body will officially launch the development path of the young driver of the FIA.
SecondThe timesThe Hamilton report has been said to have impressed the president of the Fia Mohammed Ben Sularyem with his work while the government organ aims to slow down the path for young drivers from the basic level to a professional career, which has led to an official function.
The role of Hamilton plays no influence on how his son Lewis feels for the governance of Ben Sulayem, with the seven times world champion – as well as other drivers – who collided with the Emirates on several occasions.
While Ben Sulayem blocked himself on drivers who swore the team’s radio last year, Hamilton raised concerns about the president who compared F1 drivers with the “rapper”, saying that there was a racial element in his observations.
Ben Sulayem is ready for the re -election at the end of the year, without any official candidate having not yet declared that he is running against him. As reported for the first time by Motorsport.com, another father driver from F1, Carlos Sainz Sr, confirmed that he is taking into consideration the race for the president after being approach with various figures in the Motorsport community to throw the hat in the ring.
The father of the current pilot by Williams Carlos Sainz has not yet decided whether or not he will follow, with father and son who reject any concern for potential conflicts of interest.
When George Russell, a former Mercedes teammate of Lewis Hamilton’s team, has been asked for changes to the rules of the oath, he said: “We have not yet had correspondence with anyone of the senior level to the FIA. So yes, it’s all a little suspicious.
“It seems more demanding than it really should be, but we all put on our opinions.
“I wouldn’t say that it has reached a point of no return, but at least you want to see the will of the other part.”
The Ferrari Hamilton pilot added: “I hadn’t seen it, so I don’t know where it comes from. I want to say, it’s ridiculous. I don’t really know.
“Nothing I say will make some difference. It seems a bit of a mess at the moment. So, yes, there are many necessary changes, for sure.”
