I stopped buying this argument when drivers wore LGBTQ+ T-Shirts during an anthem for a nation which is oppressing the LGBTQ+ community, and the FIA reprimanded them for it. The drivers literally tried to make a point and make the difference like F1 said it would, and they were slapped by the FIA for it.

Thankfully, Vettel and Hamilton both said they would do it again without hesitation.
