George Russell has joined the outcry over the FIA’s decision to increase the maximum fine for drivers from €250,000 to one million, calling it “pretty ridiculous”.
While Max Verstappen quipped he’d get ready to “sponsor also the bottles of wine” having joked back in 2021 that his 50k fine for touching Lewis Hamilton’s rear wing covered the cost of a nice dinner out for the stewards, Hamilton said the sport needs to think about the “message that sends out to those that are watching”.He said as per Motorsport.com: “I think it’s pretty ridiculous that a driver could be fined €1m.
“We just want transparency and understanding. I think already the fines are getting out of control. Verstappen being fined 50,000 for touching a car. Lewis being fined 50,000 .
