Okay. Having a Grand Prix in Baku is fine. But having a prize-giving event in Baku is bad. Whatever you say Hamilton. 🤡
This seems perfectly consistent with his stance of keeping F1 going as a global sport while minimising environmental impact (e.g.: due to travel, which is what he explicitly has issues with in the quote). What's worth a clown emoji here?

It's usually pretty handy for identifying a comment written by a child
How is going to Paris is better for environmental impact than Baku? But to be fair, we don't know what type of private jet he uses.

Bro, we talking about seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton. I think he's worth it.

Because most teams, the drivers, the engineers, the support staff, and dare I say the press that cover this are closer geographically to Paris than Baku.
That's a pretty simple observation.
Also aren't the FIA offices in Paris?
That's what Lewis mentioned specifically as well (emphasis mine):
I don’t feel a particular way. Whilst I really like Baku, it’s really a beautiful place, questions in my mind of whether the FIA is really actually thinking about sustainability because so many people flew out here and the FIA is in Paris and it just would have been easier to stay there.
And many drivers live in Monaco
Right, they could’ve just trained to Paris. They probably wouldn’t, but they could
Yeah, and so could a lot of the teams from the UK. The Train of Great Speed would be the logical choice to get people from there to Paris.
Also aren't the FIA offices still in Paris?
🏴☠️✈️
lol I meant private jet.
Yeah it's not like they aren't travelling the entire world to begin with. This is purely about ego, not sustainability
