Lewis Hamilton has blasted the FIA over its handling of the investigation of Mercedes chief Toto Wolff and his wife, F1 Academy director Susie Wolff, describing the motorsport governing body's conduct as 'disappointing' and 'unacceptable'.

The 38-year-old attended an awards ceremony in Baku for the top three drivers in the Championship, with Red Bull pair Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez also attending.

Wolff's absence was noted, however, days after an investigation was opened by the FIA into an alleged leak of classified information between Wolff and his wife, Susie.
