‘Is the FIA thinking about sustainability?’ Lewis Hamilton has questioned the FIA’s decision to host their end of season prize-giving event in Baku, rather than Paris. (www.crash.net)

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.
