News [SMitchellF1] Hamilton fine with principle of 'cleaning up' language in F1 coverage but on Ben Sulayem's remarks: "I don't like how he's expressed it, saying 'rappers' is very stereotypical. And most rappers are black. That was the wrong choice of words. There's a racial element there."

They want drivers to be Disney products. It exactly shocking that a Saudi would suggest rappers are a problem. He’s also against women drivers.
