LONDON (Reuters) - Formula One will never gag anyone, chief executive Stefano Domenicali has stated in response to a pre-season controversy between the governing FIA and drivers over 'political' statements and freedom of speech.
The Italian, who represents U.S.-based commercial rights holders Liberty Media, told the Guardian newspaper he also expected the sport's Paris-based governing body to clarify its position.
