This occurs after all the controversy that has surrounded Nikita Mazepin, brand new signing of Haas F1, who will debut in the sport despite uploading a video to social networks in which he touched a woman in a car.
The new boss of Formula 1, Domenicali, will address this and other issues in a meeting that will take place in Bahrain and that will serve to clarify how the ambassadors of the Grand Circus should behave.
“It was pretty clear that what he did was not acceptable. He apologized. In response to what he did, we have to make sure that they understand that they cannot joke about certain things. They are too important not to understand that they are role models. “.
“That is something that we will discuss together, not just with him. When the time comes, I want to meet with them to see how important they are to our sport,” explained the Italian in statements collected by the American portal Motorsport.com.
Domenicali has already sent a first letter to the riders on the grid to explain his intentions, although he is planning a face-to-face meeting in Bahrain, the venue for pre-season training and the first round of the new World Championship.
“I have personally sent a letter to the drivers, because I wanted to share with them how important it is that they understand the value of being good ambassadors for Formula 1.”
“I am not talking about the sport as such, but about the values on which Formula 1 is centered, such as We Race As One, and the diversity and sustainability projects that we want to share together.”
“I don’t think we’ve ever had so many fantastic drivers, so many young and talented drivers in Formula 1, and we can’t miss the opportunity to make sure they understand that they are more than just drivers. They have a responsibility because they are the face of this sport.”
“They have to understand the importance of their behavior and their statements, and they have to lead by example. That is what I want to share with them.”
