Speaking last, Hamilton was reluctant to share his thoughts at first, simply saying “not much really to add. All the opposite to everything they said.”

This was after Perez said he was “happy to be back” while Stroll and Ocon expressed “trust” in the safety measures in place and Magnussen opened with “there’s a ceasefire between the two parties that were involved as last year, and I think that gives some confidence.” 

When asked to elaborate on his comments, Hamilton acknowledged they were “open to interpretation.”

The 38-year-old was asked if not racing in Jeddah was an option and he said: “Well, the thing is, if I’m not here, Formula One will continue without me. So what I try to do is just try to learn as much as I can. 

“When I’m going to these different places, I still feel that as a sport going to places with human rights issues, such as this one, I feel that the sport is duty bound to raise awareness and try to leave a positive impact. 

“And I feel like it needs to do more. What that is, I don’t have all the answers, but I think we always need to try and do more to raise awareness for things that the people are struggling with,” Hamilton said.

Human rights group Reprieve said in a statement shared with CNN on Friday that F1 “has never seriously engaged with human rights.”

“For all the talk of “positive values” and “accelerating change, Formula One has never seriously engaged with human rights and the way the sport is used to whitewash abuses by some of the world’s most repressive regimes,” said Reprieve Joint Executive Director Maya Foa.

According to Reprieve, there have been at least 13 executions in Saudi Arabia in the last two weeks. 

“Carrying out these executions on the eve of the Jeddah Grand Prix is a brazen display of impunity by the Saudi authorities, confident that the sport and its commercial partners will stay silent, and that the pageantry of F1 will distract from the bloodshed.

“Drivers are being put in the impossible position of wondering how many more will be executed over the four days of qualifying and racing. The sport’s human rights problem has never been more glaring,” Foa added.
