FIA President Mohammed ben Sulayem has been talking about all things Formula 1 that comes to mind recently, including criticism of the actions of Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, and Lando Norris.
Sulayem has taken over the FIA since December of last year and gave an interview to the during the Monaco GP weekend recently.
During the interview, he talked about a range of topics, from his time as a successful rally driver to how he will manage as an "FIA dog".
It was a tricky time for him to take on the FIA due to the fallout and controversy over Max Verstappen's win in Abu Dhabi last season.
In his interview, he took the opportunity to criticize Hamilton, Vettel and Norris stating, "Niki Lauda and Alain Prost only cared about driving. Now, Vettel drives a rainbow bike, Lewis is passionate about human rights, and Norris addresses mental health. Everyone has the right to think. For me, it's about deciding whether we should impose our beliefs on something about the sport all the time."
"I come from an Arab culture. I am international and Muslim. Do I impose my beliefs on other people? No way! Never. If you look at my operation in the United Arab Emirates: 16 nationalities! Name me a federation that has that many nationalities."
"At the top, there are over 34% women and 7 religions. And even more Christians than Muslims. I'm proud because it creates credibility and merit."
"But do I go and put my beliefs? No. The rules are there, even now there are problems when it comes to - for example - jewelry, I didn't write that."
Fans on Reddit, the world's largest Internet Forum, spoke, openly about Sulayem's poor sense of democracy: 'I can't wait for Seb to show up riding the most over-the-top, rainbow-colored decorated bicycle of all time.'
'Sulayem didn't need to go there and is just alienating the people he should be bringing together.'
'He just adds more tensions between F1 and the FIA with comments like this.'
'It's not because the FIA president turns a blind eye to real problems that the drivers or anyone else in F1 has to too'
'The drivers didn't criticize the FIA, they just talked and acted on other existing problems. This guy (FIA president) needs lessons in basic democracy'
Sulayem was referring to the way three of the sport's stars behave off the track and on race weekends.
Last season we saw on-track rivals Hamilton and Vettel take similar positions in races in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The Briton wore a rainbow helmet to the races with the words 'we are together' printed on it.
Hamilton is also known for constantly speaking out on his personal Instagram, using his platform to raise real social issues for some 30 million people who follow the seven-time world champion.
Vettel also decided to host the only women's kart event in Jeddah to take a stand against the strict and meager women's rights in that country. He also wore a shirt to support the LGBTQ+ community at the Hungarian GP, given that country's oppression of them.
Norris also spoke about people getting the help they need with their mental health, as well as doing his part to raise funds with teammate Daniel Ricciardo at McLaren, who has raised money for mental health charities in the past.
Formula One sources say that Liberty is concerned about Sulayem's constant criticism of the drivers, who are after all the stars of the sport and the main reason for F1's worldwide audience.
