Hamilton shares support for KEY figure amid FIA fury

Lewis Hamilton says the FIA president has 'never' had his support

Originally written by Cal Gaunt. This version is a translation.

Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton has blasted the FIA and questioned how anyone can 'trust' them amid ongoing chaos at the top.

Hamilton's remarks come amid an escalating scandal in F1. Susie Wolff, head of the F1 Academy, has filed a criminal complaint against the FIA.

Despite an independent investigation clearing Ben Sulayem of wrongdoing, Hamilton remains sceptical.

Wolff's complaint involves an alleged conflict of interest with her husband, Toto, team principal of Mercedes F1.

Hamilton defends Wolff

Hamilton hopes Wolff's legal action will bring greater transparency and accountability to the FIA.

"Firstly, I'm incredibly proud of Susie," Hamilton said. "I think she's so brave and she stands for such great values.

"There is no transparency, there is clearly no accountability, and we need that. I think the fans needs that. How can you trust the sport and what is happening here if you don't have that?

"So hopefully this stand that she's taken now will create change, will have a positive impact, and especially for women."
