The GPDA - on behalf of the F1 drivers - has released a statement aimed at the FIA and its president, Mohammed Ben Sulayem
The Grand Prix Drivers’ Association have taken aim at the FIA and its president Mohammed Ben Sulayem over a number of issues dominating F1.
The statement read: “As is the case with every sport, competitors must abide by the referee’s decision, whether they like it or not, indeed whether they agree with it or not. That is how sport works. The Drivers are no different, and fully understand that. “With regards to swearing, there is a difference between swearing intended to insult others and more casual swearing, such as you might use to describe bad weather, or indeed an inanimate object such as a Formula 1 car, or a driving situation.
“The GPDA has, on countless occasions, expressed its view that Driver monetary fines are not appropriate for our Sport. For the past 3 years, we have called upon the FIA President to share the details and strategy regarding how the FIA’s financial fines are allocated and where the funds are spent.
