    I’m glad they are doing this. FIA President should be kept in check.

      Let’s hope they care at all about this. I’m not sure the pettiness of the fines will be let go.

    Absolutely based. Bringing up the swearing MBS has taken issue with as well as when he was losing his mind over Hamilton’s fucking nose stud, as opposed to serious FIA failings or fucking missiles landing near tracks.

    They’re also right in that financial fines are useless.

    I wish we had competent and rational people in the FIA.

    Great point from GPDA, asking for clarity on where does the financial fines (I.e the money) ends up? What purpose is it used for, and how a fine is decided?

    And why does a false start cost €5000 and no grid penalty applied at the end of the race or even a time penalty to be served in the race?

      And like they say, they have asked for years regarding the use of that money and FIA has straight up ignored any inquiry.

    How does it feel to called out in the media, MBS? This isn’t the British media “convicting you” . Your own drivers are calling you out.

    Let’s see if he gives another public response (and continue to dig a deeper hole) or this gets solved internally, as it should have been from the start.

      TLDR: The GPDA statement addresses concerns over driver misconduct, emphasizing that drivers must respect referee decisions. They differentiate between casual swearing and insulting language, and criticize the FIA President’s public tone and unnecessary media instructions to drivers. The GPDA opposes driver fines, calling for financial transparency from the FIA and greater collaboration among all stakeholders to improve the sport.
