‘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)

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.

What’s worth a clown emoji here?

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.
