• Human rights groups demand F1 cancels Sunday’s Bahrain GP
• Lewis Hamilton ‘cannot win titles on the back of abuses’
Human rights groups are demanding the cancellation of Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix if Formula One is not allowed to investigate the abuse and imprisonment of activist Najah Yusuf.
Campaigners also warned they would escalate their protest by demanding all drivers –and world champion Lewis Hamilton in particular – should address the matter of protestors being jailed for criticising the race and regime.
