Vatanen calls for the cancellation of the Russian GP

Former FIA presidential candidate Ari Vatanen he invited Bernie Ecclestone and the team bosses to reevaluate their decision to go to Russia next October despite the tragic events that are happening.

“The question is whether or not it is right to support a regime guilty of such bloodshed – the Finnish rally driver declared to the British The Telegraph – To pretend nothing happened would be like giving a tacit agreement. It is often said that F1 and politics should not mix, but she herself wanted to get involved in the sport, so in my opinion the race should be cancelled. We are faced with an unprecedented situation, at least from the Second World War to today, so if we were to accept without too many questions how will we be remembered?”.
