Formula 1 is accused of ignoring the abuse of human rights in the country on the eve of the new season.
The Bird says that F1 has abandoned those who have been tortured and imprisoned because of criticism of the race.
An F1 spokesman said: "We take our responsibilities on rights very seriously and set high ethical standards for counter-parties and those in our supply chain."
We pay close attention to their adherence because they were enshrined in contracts.
The director of advocacy for Bird wrote a letter to the F1 president and chief executive officer after the race was awarded a new 15-year contract.
The letter says that the contract is contrary to your claim that F1 takes violence, abuse of human rights and oppression very seriously.
The grand prix has contributed to the abuse and suffering of individuals, and F1 has failed to adequately use its platform to put an end to abuses.
It said Bird supported F1's decision to cancel the Russian Grand Prix contract in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine but that there was a double-standard being applied with countries in the Middle East.
The second race of the season is hosted by Saudi Arabia. The season finale in Abu Dhabi is hosted by the United Arab Emirates.
He asked F1 to review its policy on races in the Middle East and reconsider its position on an independent commission to investigate human rights violations.
Bird has written to some drivers asking them to publicly stand up for human rights in Saudi Arabia, as well as on social media platforms.
For decades, Formula 1 has worked hard to be a positive force everywhere it races, including economic, social, and cultural benefits.
Formula 1 is uniquely positioned to bring countries and communities together to share the passion and excitement of incredible competition and achievement.
