How is it any different from an NDA? You have a right to free speech, and a right to willingly enter a contract with another party which constrains that right.

How is it any different from an NDA? You have a right to free speech, and a right to willingly enter a contract with another party which constrains that right. Presumably the drivers can break the contract. I’m not condoning F1’s actions here, in fact I think it’s pretty despicable, but it’s not clearly illegal for any obvious reason.
- greatgib 4y agoIt is in constitution, and I'm not sure for US, but usually there is a hierarchy of the different layers of law that can't be contradicted. Like, for example, a NDA or contract can't allow you to hire someone as a slave. Even if the contract would say so. Company to company contracts are different still.
- dandelany 4y agoThe first amendment is specifically about the government interfering with one's free speech rights - "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech..." It generally doesn't apply in the case of two private parties entering a contract.
