FIA President Mohamed Ben Sulayem and Sir Lewis Hamilton shared a frosty handshake at the F1 2024 British Grand Prix, but what's their feud all about? #LH44 #lewishamilton #F1
Spot on, I noticed the handshake. When you know that the whole F1 circus is a toy thing for the FIA and they want to choose who wins you understand why Lewis has no time for the master of puppets.
Remember years ago when Hamilton spoke about Brazil 2007 and he referred to it as something like "things I can't talk about happened that day". Really makes you think what's going on behind closed doors at the FIA...
@@MrGHows You are still wondering what might have gone wrong? Cast your mind back to China of that year and the scandal Ron Denis was trying to manage. Then bring-in Max Mosley who reportedly said that allowing SLH win the championship in his first year will bring the sport into unrepairable disrepute! So, he ordered Ron to make sure that did not happen, if not, McLaren will not only pay a $100mill fine but be excluded from the 2008 championship. That was what SLH was referring to. But I am sure he has more details than what we all saw that year.
MBS oversaw the AD21 post event report and the outcome was not up to par, he also let off RB for breaking the cast cap that all added up to Sir Lewis frustration
Yep, MBS is a Red Bull guy and used to be sponsored by them. MBS on the back of AD2021 promised openness, honesty and integrity. What we got was a whitewash report, lies and a non-disclosure agreement slapped on Masi barring him from speaking of it. All very shady.
@@kruger121akatt2 you can try to justify it all you want but Ross Brawn made it clear that if you cheat you will lose your championship, MBS also claimed to be RB’s friend and let’s not even talk about the tax credit that they never received.
Hamilton’s awkward handshake with MBS was very similar to Messi’s with Salt Bae who sneaked in and wanted to take a picture with him after winning the 2022 WC.
The message ‘backmarkers are not allowed to overtake’ was the real attempt at robbing. Even Bono was surprised by that, along with Alonso and Vettel. But you girls keep believing it was something else.
Can't see anything wrong with LH response. Not easy to shake hands with someone who could had influenced the wrong decision back in 2021, putting it right.
I notice that also. The handshake was short and you could tell Lewis wasnt feeling it. Who could blame Lewis for that, after all that was the one who could have fixed that situation but did nothing but praise Max at every chance he got.
Lewis cares a shit about MBS after 2021 fiasco and his overall handling of F1. Sir Lewis Hamilton is loved and respected for his achievements in sport, his hard work and consistency, his social concerns, he lives in the heart of fans. He truly is a world champion
Let’s not forget how Hamilton is fighting for human rights and MBS comes from one of the worst countries that violates that basic tenant and I dare say, probably subscribes to that ideology.
I noticed this when I watched it live on Sunday. I have to say since Lewis being robbed of his 8th title I have 0 respect or trust anymore for the officials in F1, its disgusting, F1 has always in the past corrected wrongs, why was this never put right........
Influence race results, like robbing Sir Hamilton of his 8th championship? I believe there were a lot of people in the FIA who did not want Hamilton getting the record.
It's not just the piercings though is it? Remember MBS wanted to sanction/ban/fine Lewis when he didn't go to the awards ceremony after Abu Dhabi 21. MBS also made a big to-do about Lewis disappearing for a while out of the reach of the press etc., even though he was in contact with Toto/the team the whole time. MBS is a failed wannabe driver, and got the his appointment by dint of who his main supporters/backers were.
First time watcher and subscriber. Love that you caught this as I saw it post race and have wondered why none of the other content creators have mentioned it. They all seem so caught up in getting the same exact news article/video out the soonest. Your content was refreshing!!! Thanks
Of course the other content creators didn’t talk about it. They’re not trying to jeopardize their good standing with the F1 powers that be (and risk not getting invited to a GrandPrix or two) by bringing up such a controversial figure
I’m so glad somebody has mentioned this. I 100% noticed it as it happened as well… altho I had an idea that something was going on between them but I thought it was with relation to the fact that he has been pulling strings behind the scenes and somehow fixing the outcome of races or financially manipulating Toto wolf to favour Russell with car set up and stuff…. Among other things like pit stop times… I have heard murmurs that he’s quite racist and didn’t want a black guy (Lewis) taking the title of 8 world championships and being forever known as the greatest world champion of f1 EVER.
Finally someone else noticed. But I personally think it goes deeper. I believe the drivers are doing protest races where they control the out come. Now not every race! But when MBS announced he was going to do more races with sprint and we went into Monico. LeCerlk won his home gp under not only the slowest race we've ever seen but with the least overtakes (1 outside of the top ten) and the fastest lap being 10secs faster than the leaders. Then we went racing as usual until Silverstone. Now before everyone explodes on me I'm British and I was screaming for joy at 3 brits out front. Although I'm not a Hamilton fan I cheered him and lando on to the end. BUT it was weird that before any cars were on the track all anyone was talking about was Lewis winning, after all he hasn't shown that kind of pace in 2.5yrs. Practice and qualifying mercs do amazing as do McLaren. On to the amazing race where driver's skills are on full display, battles and overtaking without drs, wet racing with and without inters... maintaining a 2.5 sec gap to Lewis on soft tyres when the mediums are the best tyre and you have a new set??? Vasteppen driving like he's brain dead can't hit an apex or be within a meter of a curb in the 1st stint??? That's Mazapin levels of incompetence. Then Max's last stinton the worst tyre the hard predicted to be upto a sec slower than a yother tyre... Max blast out consecutive fastest laps his car in p.anted like it's on rails, he's hitting every apex, every curb ( Max for the last 4 plus races complaining he can't curb in this new car now he's doing it on damp drying curb with hard tyres). Oscar on the mediums is doing the same at around the same pace. Max 6-8secs back, Oscar 10secs back. The race commentators say nothing about their incredible pace until Max passes Lando. Then as Lewis slows his lap time so does Max instead of 0.5secs faster it now 0.3secs to end with Max 1.5secs behind Lewis. I believe this was a protest race directed squarely at MBS and the FIA. We the drivers can controlthe race. Remember these guys can drive within hundreds of a sec per lap every lap. Set a slightly slower pace and it's ready to go.
Is Mohamed Ben Sulayem popular with anyone in F1? He has had some awkward moments with Christian Horner, accusations of his corruption were not specifically aimed at Hamilton, the allegation against Suzi Wolf were generally criticised, and the spate about jewellery that he did have with Hamilton relatively minor. He took over after Abu Dhabi fiasco, so he wasn't to blame for that, although he didn't do much to put things right either. His response to Red Bull breeching the cost cap was weak and when he has attempted throw his weight around he has firmly been told to get back in his box. Mohamed Ben Sulayem reign as FIA president has been pretty innocuous I doubt Lewis Hamilton has got any more or less respect for him than anyone else up and down the pit lane. Nothing much has improved since he was appointed FIA President.
He's a croock with a lot of money, that's all. He 's a bit schizophrenic towards Hamilton, always persecuting him for anything possible: wearing jewels outside of paddock, wearing his custom made clothes, his lifestyle etc. Always trying to find a way to punish him (through fines or nonsensical criticism over the media regarding topics that are none of his business). There's proof of his sick obnoxious behavior in Drive to Survive season 2 or 3 I believe, prior to the drivers parade at the start of one of the events in 2021, he was recorded talking to Jos Verstappen in the middle of the paddock while multiple VIPs were roaming throughout, when suddenly Hamilton passes by with Angela Cullen (his trainer) and unbeknownst to him, Sulayem looks at Hamilton from behind for a couple of seconds with a sick face like he's anger himself, then tells Jos something like "we have to destroy this guy", and the whole situation was recorded by the Netflix crew with audio and everything.
It would be crazy to think that Red Bull are not huge fans of MBS. They have benefitted massively from his actions and inactions than any other team on the grid. As you have mentioned above, he did nothing to correct the FIA admitted cheating (Masi breaking the rules of the sport at the most critical time of the race and championship targeting a different outcome), he also did nothing substantial regarding the championship although the 2021 Red Bull was illegal (broke the cost cap rules) and that positioned their car the continue the success resulting from their overspending into the new formula that went into effect in 2022. No proper investigation was done into sexual harassment claims against Horner earlier this year. But he was quite diligent in going after the main opponents of Red Bull (Mercedes) on trivial things such as the sham Suzi Wolf complaint and enforcing the Jewellery ban targeting mainly on particular Mercedes driver. It is already a sport that lacks a level playing field without guys like MBS corrupting it further.
@@ak_2410 You would have thought yes but there was that excruciating embarrassing exchange between Horner and Mohammed Sulayem at the 2022 FIA Awards. He doesn't seem to be liked by even those he helps!
@F1Chronicle you are right up to a point - you have not gone back far enough in the timeline regarding how and why the relationship soured between BSM and Hamilton. It all started around the time Hamilton was promoting equal rights for women and the LGBTQ community in Arabic countries that races were held. I think MBS hadn’t been in post that long but shortly after Hamilton (and other drivers like Vettel) started coming out in support wearing rainbow t-shirts and other stuff , the powers that be suddenly decided to enforce the no jewellery rule for drivers. As usual some jumped on the fact that Hamilton was breaking the rules, when actually that rule had been in place for years but never been policed……until now. That’s one hell of a coincidence hahaha. Interestingly, it wasn’t just Hamilton who fell foul of this but at least one other driver still on the grid as well - a fact lost on many as they all jumped on the ‘Hamilton breaking the rules’ bandwagon’. Its around about then that Vettel made a comment about ‘ what are they going to do next, check our underwear?’ In short don’t go to Muslim countries and lecture them about womens rights or rights for the LGBTQ community and expect a sympathetic ear as one gets in the West……especially don’t do it when the head of the organisation that is running the sport is himself a Muslim lol. The way 2021 ended also added fuel to the fire. To give a bit of balance it’s worth noting that, as with any person in power, MBS isn’t just taking action on his own - he is clearly taking guidance from others (some with with vested interests) so though I do blame him up to point, there is more to it than just MBS ….much like how most leaders of countries have a load of people giving them advice/guidance on certain topics. 😂 Lastly, we got to the bottom of the Christian Horner ‘accusations about improper behaviour’ saga (carried out in-house) but we never found out who spread the lies about Suzie Wolff, or the lies that Mercedes were sabotaging Hamilton’s car (up until the most recent British GP. I should flag that with regards to the first point, the lady in question who worked at the FIA was only there for a short term contract. MBS actually came out in said individual’s defence. Anyway one wonders, why we get to the bottom of certain things, but others remain unanswered.
You are saying what intelligent people can see but others are refusing to say. Lewis's views and also being a black man that was used by those liberal organizations to spread a message does not help. Lastly, Mercedes engineers are too smart to go two years with a horrible performing car. It was definitely on purpose.
Actually, with respect, it goes further back than that. Dubai is very hierarchical. Dubai is very, very racist. Take a look at what the Dubai govt does to migrant workers (who aren’t Arabic) when they complain about lethal work conditions. The origin of the Sulaymen/Lewis situation began less on the track and more in a country - racist Dubai.
@@clairdillon1762 F1 Great point! Body allowed it. It was a travesty. Lewis had to pass all those cars before getting to the front and then they gave Max a free pass to the front right behind Lewis. Anyone who races knows that goes against competitive integrity. It was a horrible decision. On another note, someone edited my comment up top that mentioned Tt. Tt was distraught but the last two years have been unacceptable. Engineers are too smart to fall that far behind. When you look at the interaction on Netflix you can see the disdain, jealousy, and disrespect Merc engineers had/have for Lewis. It was clear! Yes, they want to win but engineers would rather do ok with Lewis in the car than beat Max. Merc has every resource available to them and they almost had the worst car on the grid in the last two years at some races. Unacceptable.
I've BEEN saying this! They PUNISHED that man. They knew they couldn't have him physically assaulted or punished according to their taste so they did the next, only thing, they could. They straight out robbed him on International Television for all the world to see. Also interesting is that LH44 just recently expressed empathy for "recent events that have people divided" and now he wins... don't get me wrong, I am a huge LH44 fan but this race felt "a little"🤏 engineered and a telling moment for me was GR63's very obviously pissed faced when he had to retire. That didn't look like JUST being upset that the car's cooling system wasn't working. Max looking like he was holding off somewhat was also interesting to me. I wish I could be a fly on the wall. DIRTY AIR OUT HERE GUYS
TBH, those issues were minor, they did not affect Lewis directly, MBS's conduct did not matter much to Lewis, but what did matter most to Lewis was when in 2021 Abu Dhabi Title Robbers and cheaters robbed Sir Lewis of his 8Thh World Title, and MBS then joined F1 as President n 2022,he never opened a thorough and fair investigations, and tried to put the matter right, He even announced that Lewis would be penalised for not attending the F1 Victory Celebrations held in Paris, imagine someone robs your wife from you and invites you to attend his wedding, no way on this planet anyone with a sane mind would attend that wedding, So F1 made no attempts to right the wrong, In the end TRUTH prevails, and Sir Lewis is 8 times World Champion, and those who stole his title are ROBBERS.
2:30 MBS was well within his right in all action taken concerning Vegas. The track was not safe, it destroyed a Ferrari. Edit: I’ll be frank I don’t know the exact procedures for FiA investigations, but I do know that the World Motorsport Council answers to ONLY the French legal system. Not anyone in the FiA
MBS is insane. During Abu Dhabi 2021 he said that he was new at the job, and therefore didnt have much insight on FIA rules to intervene. But on the same day... in his very first interview he claimed Lewis needed to be punished for not attending the FIA Gala.
Don't forget "you-didn't-call-me" gate, nose ring gate, "you-didn't-show-for-the-gala" gate and more!! MBS often attempts to interject himself into situations where he doesn't belong!!
Lewis Hamilton and MBS relationship is frosty because of his extravagant Fash eOn which include a lot of jewellery which MBS band from wearing during races😎😎😎😎
I’m not a LH fan, I’m an F1 fan. This man is bad for F1, he’s in it for himself 🤷♀️ Regardless of what driver you support shouldn’t we all want the best for the sport?
I've seen this comment a few times from different people and I'm interested in the feedback. Is it this song that's annoying or any music in general? - GH
Personally, I have never liked the FIA President Mohamed Ben Sulayem for several reasons. His leadership style often comes across as overly authoritative, which can stifle the collaborative spirit necessary in motorsport governance. Additionally, his decisions sometimes appear to be more self-serving rather than in the best interest of the sport. His handling of various controversies and issues within the FIA has frequently lacked transparency, further diminishing my confidence in his ability to lead effectively. Finally, his approach to implementing new regulations seems hasty and not always well-considered, leading to unnecessary confusion and disruption within the racing community.
Where does it say, you or any “fan” should or needs to know all the inter workings of any sports operation? If you watch or read about an event, you know the outcome, unless you are part of the team that’s all you know. You don’t know how your government works,or anything about the company you pay to deliver your electricity. Quite frankly, odds are good, you don’t know all the inter workings of your own family. So be it.
What a comment! There are really good journalists (not only English language) within F1 and there have been for years. These excellent journalist are in the mix and report on what they hear and observe. These excellent journalists have written/spoken about the FIA, Sulayem and his unethical practices. Jean Todt thought that Sulayem has no character and lacks integrity. Todt should know. So, I don’t understand your point and I don’t think that you are really understanding just how unseemly and toxic is Sulayem.
MBS is quite possibly corrupt, but this video is a fairly biased view of it. Your first example here is that MBS said the Vegas grand prix wasn't ready, and the issues that ensued proved him right. Your third example is that he alleged that a husband and wife are sharing information. Most married people would agree that the chances of something slipping out are extremely high. Again, not saying don't make the video, but I feel like it's a pretty poor effort. It comes across as if you are a Lewis fan who's looking to slander MBS just because Lewis doesn't like him. Maybe that was your goal, in which case well done. If not, then dig deeper and look for more concrete examples.
Why int you how he ac5ual inciden pic, his on os no giv true representation of what happened, it was right a the beginning o hmilon getting out of hi ca him still on ?
F1 driver with the most followers on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Plus the support he gets at Silverstone is ridiculous. Love him or hate him, he's got the most fans out of any current Formula 1 driver, so in that sense, he's the most popular - GH
I honestly think this is blown out of proportion!!! He had just had is weight taken he was upset as well as emotionally charged , his visor was half down and MBS was immediately on his right hand side I don’t think Lewis really knew or actually saw who it was ! So needs to be taken with a pinch of salt! However not saying that there isn’t a dispute but this time it was, I think anyway , an honestly pass !
Lewis vs Alonso Feud Lewis vs Massa Feud Lewis vs former best friend Nico feud Lewis vs Max feud Lewis vs Mercedes you guys make me loose on purpose (zandvoort ‘22) feud Lewis vs Mercedes my tire are 2 degrees colder feud Lewis vs Sulayem feud I don’t know about you guys but I see a pattern with F1’s institutional victim and drama queen
@@robinfoster7597 if you can't judge Lewis as a racing driver but only as a black institutional victim then you are the racist, another one of Lewis his great F1 legacy's: the racist identity politics fan
Are you high? The whole five minute video is about Hamilton, and specifically why he and the FIA president don't get on. Just as the title of the video says 🤣
Fia boss is a joke trying to control wins. Next he gonna try to enforce shiria law on F1. It was dmb to get a muslim with un modern beliefs to be a F1 boss🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️📉👎
That is a bit extreme. There are moderate Muslims within moderate countries. That said, MBS is from Dubai, which isn’t evolved and is very racist towards any one who isn’t Arabic.
Hamilton sees him for what he is;period.
100%. Lewis doesn't need to pander to bad individuals, regardless of the posts they hold
A clown.
lol I wasn't the only one who noticed when Hamilton blew buddy off. Hamilton didn't even look at him.
They definitely have "previous" lol, too much to mention in one video
I have to watch my language here, but Sulayem is a racist piece of ****. He is pathetic.
Spot on, I noticed the handshake. When you know that the whole F1 circus is a toy thing for the FIA and they want to choose who wins you understand why Lewis has no time for the master of puppets.

As you have mentioned above, he did nothing to correct the FIA admitted cheating (Masi breaking the rules of the sport at the most critical time of the race and championship targeting a different outcome), he also did nothing substantial regarding the championship although the 2021 Red Bull was illegal (broke the cost cap rules) and that positioned their car the continue the success resulting from their overspending into the new formula that went into effect in 2022. No proper investigation was done into sexual harassment claims against Horner earlier this year. But he was quite diligent in going after the main opponents of Red Bull (Mercedes) on trivial things such as the sham Suzi Wolf complaint and enforcing the Jewellery ban targeting mainly on particular Mercedes driver. It is already a sport that lacks a level playing field without guys like MBS corrupting it further.
@@ak_2410 You would have thought yes but there was that excruciating embarrassing exchange between Horner and Mohammed Sulayem at the 2022 FIA Awards. He doesn't seem to be liked by even those he helps!
Very illegal tactic! Great content
Thanks for this. I missed the moment on Sky F1 and have been looking for it.
Spot on. Nuff respect for your honest opinion. Keep it coming 💯 💯 💯
Thank you! We'll keep the regular uploads coming, stay tuned and thanks for your support! - GH
Where is the actual footage of it though, can't find it anywhere. Maybe include it to show others? Just a tip.
@F1Chronicle you are right up to a point - you have not gone back far enough in the timeline regarding how and why the relationship soured between BSM and Hamilton. It all started around the time Hamilton was promoting equal rights for women and the LGBTQ community in Arabic countries that races were held. I think MBS hadn’t been in post that long but shortly after Hamilton (and other drivers like Vettel) started coming out in support wearing rainbow t-shirts and other stuff , the powers that be suddenly decided to enforce the no jewellery rule for drivers. As usual some jumped on the fact that Hamilton was breaking the rules, when actually that rule had been in place for years but never been policed……until now. That’s one hell of a coincidence hahaha. Interestingly, it wasn’t just Hamilton who fell foul of this but at least one other driver still on the grid as well - a fact lost on many as they all jumped on the ‘Hamilton breaking the rules’ bandwagon’. Its around about then that Vettel made a comment about ‘ what are they going to do next, check our underwear?’ In short don’t go to Muslim countries and lecture them about womens rights or rights for the LGBTQ community and expect a sympathetic ear as one gets in the West……especially don’t do it when the head of the organisation that is running the sport is himself a Muslim lol.
The way 2021 ended also added fuel to the fire. To give a bit of balance it’s worth noting that, as with any person in power, MBS isn’t just taking action on his own - he is clearly taking guidance from others (some with with vested interests) so though I do blame him up to point, there is more to it than just MBS ….much like how most leaders of countries have a load of people giving them advice/guidance on certain topics. 😂
Lastly, we got to the bottom of the Christian Horner ‘accusations about improper behaviour’ saga (carried out in-house) but we never found out who spread the lies about Suzie Wolff, or the lies that Mercedes were sabotaging Hamilton’s car (up until the most recent British GP. I should flag that with regards to the first point, the lady in question who worked at the FIA was only there for a short term contract. MBS actually came out in said individual’s defence. Anyway one wonders, why we get to the bottom of certain things, but others remain unanswered.
You are saying what intelligent people can see but others are refusing to say. Lewis's views and also being a black man that was used by those liberal organizations to spread a message does not help. Lastly, Mercedes engineers are too smart to go two years with a horrible performing car. It was definitely on purpose.
Actually, with respect, it goes further back than that. Dubai is very hierarchical. Dubai is very, very racist. Take a look at what the Dubai govt does to migrant workers (who aren’t Arabic) when they complain about lethal work conditions. The origin of the Sulaymen/Lewis situation began less on the track and more in a country - racist Dubai.
@@clairdillon1762 F1 Great point! Body allowed it. It was a travesty. Lewis had to pass all those cars before getting to the front and then they gave Max a free pass to the front right behind Lewis. Anyone who races knows that goes against competitive integrity. It was a horrible decision. On another note, someone edited my comment up top that mentioned Tt. Tt was distraught but the last two years have been unacceptable. Engineers are too smart to fall that far behind. When you look at the interaction on Netflix you can see the disdain, jealousy, and disrespect Merc engineers had/have for Lewis. It was clear! Yes, they want to win but engineers would rather do ok with Lewis in the car than beat Max. Merc has every resource available to them and they almost had the worst car on the grid in the last two years at some races. Unacceptable.
@@smithwesson7 Very, very valid points. This last Sunday was a beautiful cathartic moment for Lewis and his supporters within Mercedes. Epic.
I've BEEN saying this! They PUNISHED that man. They knew they couldn't have him physically assaulted or punished according to their taste so they did the next, only thing, they could. They straight out robbed him on International Television for all the world to see. Also interesting is that LH44 just recently expressed empathy for "recent events that have people divided" and now he wins... don't get me wrong, I am a huge LH44 fan but this race felt "a little"🤏 engineered and a telling moment for me was GR63's very obviously pissed faced when he had to retire. That didn't look like JUST being upset that the car's cooling system wasn't working. Max looking like he was holding off somewhat was also interesting to me. I wish I could be a fly on the wall. DIRTY AIR OUT HERE GUYS
He clowned him
I daresay Abu Dhabi 21 was apart of it also...
TBH, those issues were minor, they did not affect Lewis directly, MBS's conduct did not matter much to Lewis, but what did matter most to Lewis was when in 2021 Abu Dhabi Title Robbers and cheaters robbed Sir Lewis of his 8Thh World Title, and MBS then joined F1 as President n 2022,he never opened a thorough and fair investigations, and tried to put the matter right, He even announced that Lewis would be penalised for not attending the F1 Victory Celebrations held in Paris, imagine someone robs your wife from you and invites you to attend his wedding, no way on this planet anyone with a sane mind would attend that wedding, So F1 made no attempts to right the wrong, In the end TRUTH prevails, and Sir Lewis is 8 times World Champion, and those who stole his title are ROBBERS.
Very eloquently put
2:30 MBS was well within his right in all action taken concerning Vegas. The track was not safe, it destroyed a Ferrari.
Edit: I’ll be frank I don’t know the exact procedures for FiA investigations, but I do know that the World Motorsport Council answers to ONLY the French legal system. Not anyone in the FiA
MBS is insane. During Abu Dhabi 2021 he said that he was new at the job, and therefore didnt have much insight on FIA rules to intervene. But on the same day... in his very first interview he claimed Lewis needed to be punished for not attending the FIA Gala.
I felt the same. One of the most awkward handshakes.
Ben knew where he stood with Lewis !!!
I saw that too!
Dirty Saudi money.
His from Bahrain 🇧🇭
Dubai?
All Arab money is dodgy .
It’s not just letters the fia and fifa share. Both unaccountable and shady
'cause mbs is a redbull guy
MBS is controlling Toto to get SLH at any cost… he’s the wrong color and very disrespectful/disobedient ( he stood up against MBS with his jewelery
in your opinion lewis is the best but in my opinion senna is the best
He doesn't want L.H to wear jewelry on or sell champagne, if you religious u can't gamble 😅
Mbs supporters? Never heard that term before
Don't forget "you-didn't-call-me" gate, nose ring gate, "you-didn't-show-for-the-gala" gate and more!! MBS often attempts to interject himself into situations where he doesn't belong!!
It’s not a feud! The guy stole his 8th championship and gave it to vestsppen
Lewis Hamilton and MBS relationship is frosty because of his extravagant Fash eOn which include a lot of jewellery which MBS band from wearing during races😎😎😎😎
we all know who he is, and whats hes about.
Toto wolf does not tell his wife secrets under the cover.. He just Howles!
Started end of 2021
I’m not a LH fan, I’m an F1 fan. This man is bad for F1, he’s in it for himself 🤷♀️ Regardless of what driver you support shouldn’t we all want the best for the sport?
Drop the stupid music
I've seen this comment a few times from different people and I'm interested in the feedback. Is it this song that's annoying or any music in general? - GH
I would say no music but that song in particular is awful and does not suit the video content @@F1Chronicle
Personally, I have never liked the FIA President Mohamed Ben Sulayem for several reasons. His leadership style often comes across as overly authoritative, which can stifle the collaborative spirit necessary in motorsport governance. Additionally, his decisions sometimes appear to be more self-serving rather than in the best interest of the sport. His handling of various controversies and issues within the FIA has frequently lacked transparency, further diminishing my confidence in his ability to lead effectively. Finally, his approach to implementing new regulations seems hasty and not always well-considered, leading to unnecessary confusion and disruption within the racing community.
He taught he's so powerful and can use it every time and to all.... Ohhb he's shit
Where does it say, you or any “fan” should or needs to know all the inter workings of any sports operation? If you watch or read about an event, you know the outcome, unless you are part of the team that’s all you know. You don’t know how your government works,or anything about the company you pay to deliver your electricity. Quite frankly, odds are good, you don’t know all the inter workings of your own family. So be it.
What a comment! There are really good journalists (not only English language) within F1 and there have been for years. These excellent journalist are in the mix and report on what they hear and observe. These excellent journalists have written/spoken about the FIA, Sulayem and his unethical practices. Jean Todt thought that Sulayem has no character and lacks integrity. Todt should know. So, I don’t understand your point and I don’t think that you are really understanding just how unseemly and toxic is Sulayem.
MBS is quite possibly corrupt, but this video is a fairly biased view of it. Your first example here is that MBS said the Vegas grand prix wasn't ready, and the issues that ensued proved him right.
Your third example is that he alleged that a husband and wife are sharing information. Most married people would agree that the chances of something slipping out are extremely high.
Again, not saying don't make the video, but I feel like it's a pretty poor effort. It comes across as if you are a Lewis fan who's looking to slander MBS just because Lewis doesn't like him.
Maybe that was your goal, in which case well done. If not, then dig deeper and look for more concrete examples.
Chelsea Louise Gray 💙 😅a good 👍 👌 👏 😄 😀 🙌 👍 👌 😊😊😊😊😊😊😂
Why int you how he ac5ual inciden pic, his on os no giv true representation of what happened, it was right a the beginning o hmilon getting out of hi ca him still on ?
Most popular F1 driver? Citations please.
F1 driver with the most followers on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Plus the support he gets at Silverstone is ridiculous.
Love him or hate him, he's got the most fans out of any current Formula 1 driver, so in that sense, he's the most popular - GH
MBS is not a decent human being. They tried but couldn't keep Lewis down
I honestly think this is blown out of proportion!!! He had just had is weight taken he was upset as well as emotionally charged , his visor was half down and MBS was immediately on his right hand side I don’t think Lewis really knew or actually saw who it was ! So needs to be taken with a pinch of salt!
However not saying that there isn’t a dispute but this time it was, I think anyway , an honestly pass !
Lewis vs Alonso Feud
Lewis vs Massa Feud
Lewis vs former best friend Nico feud
Lewis vs Max feud
Lewis vs Mercedes you guys make me loose on purpose (zandvoort ‘22) feud
Lewis vs Mercedes my tire are 2 degrees colder feud
Lewis vs Sulayem feud
I don’t know about you guys but I see a pattern with F1’s institutional victim and drama queen
jog on racist, we see straight through you,
@@robinfoster7597 if you can't judge Lewis as a racing driver but only as a black institutional victim then you are the racist, another one of Lewis his great F1 legacy's: the racist identity politics fan

Bull
Shit🤫🤫🤫
TOTAL BS.
The first half of the show has nothing to do w Hamilton WTF!
TRASH of video
Are you high? The whole five minute video is about Hamilton, and specifically why he and the FIA president don't get on. Just as the title of the video says 🤣
Hamilton is not the most famous F1 driver ever. He’s the most despised in most places he’s a cocky individual without merit.
Jog on racist, you're just a relic of the past.
Fia boss is a joke trying to control wins. Next he gonna try to enforce shiria law on F1. It was dmb to get a muslim with un modern beliefs to be a F1 boss🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️📉👎
That is a bit extreme. There are moderate Muslims within moderate countries. That said, MBS is from Dubai, which isn’t evolved and is very racist towards any one who isn’t Arabic.
most famous, get thicker glasses
Lewis is the face of Formula 1, it's most decorated hero.
