We have already talked about the role of the show in F1 and how much they can be contradictory choices and actions to ensure enter Liberty Media. They can still be touched other pain points and burning. For example, the women's issue in Saudi Arabia. Yes, it is true that this delicate question also has to do with politics. But not that much.
The women's question in Saudi Arabia and F1
Saudi Arabia – o Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – is a monarchy absolute and founded on Islamic law. Saudi Arabia is just the birthplace of Islam and is also sometimes called "the land of two holy mosques" in reference to the mosque in Mecca and that of Medina. This information helps us to better understand that F1 and the policy yes they have to do with the women's issue in Saudi Arabia. Saudi women are in fact subjected to many more restrictions than those of the Koran: “Women can choose whether to wear the veil or not”. Which is what she had written Mohammed, precisely. So we are facing the violation of some fundamental rights of the person within it Arab world, which is fundamental, since it is not a European country.
F1's response to guarantee the show
In fact, the F1, who was born in a European context, has landed in some Villages Arabs for purely commercial purposes. Not to defend women's rights. In fact, once the F1 landed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Liberty Media complied with the laws of Islamic decorum, even forbidding men to wear shorts. Otherwise? Access denied within the paddock. But then – always Liberty media – spam from here and there the motto We Race as One.
In this case, you could actually make it into We race with just one goal: money. Indeed, Liberty Media's F1 has complied with the rules in order to be able to to race in Saudi Arabia, take money by the emirs, on a highly contested circuit, as extremely dangerous, with very few escape routes.
The women's question in Saudi Arabia: Sebastian Vettel's answer
THEunique that he has really done something for women – women pilots – it seems to have been the four times F1 champion Sebastian Vettel in that 2021 allowed 8 Saudi women to run. This is still the gesture of a white fly, but perhaps over time it could allow us to make ourselves - all of us and, above all, hopefully, those in the right place - a niceI examine my conscience.
In short, to talk about the correlation between F1 and human rights, it might come to mind that Queen sang: "The show must go on”. For some, however, it may also help i Fresh Painting"Every life must be respected / which comes from a direction, which comes from a road". Every life must be respected, whether it comes from a palace, whether it comes from a street. Whether it comes from Milan or Jeddah.
