This is complete bullshit. I would love all the drivers to go full protest, say fuck in the first press event and all get suspended for a month.

That would've been beautiful - drivers essentially canceling the first few races.

Didn't take long for the Americans to send F1 in the shitter

He's actually from the UAE. But he does kiss the arse of Saudi Arabia on an almost daily basis.

Fia has its HQ in france, but it more international than anything. Hq has to be somewhere after all.

So you can't say Hallelujah, amen, inshallah (donnt know how to write it), you probably can't say anything remotely feminist (like women should be allowed to drive), can't say anything about going in countries at war, even if it is against FIA regulation (such as Saudi Arabia with Yemen). Same as saying that lgbtq+ people should not be killed or jailed (for the USA, Hungary, Saudi Arabia, China, maybe Italy and Japan for a beginning)... Edit : just to add something, technically, a four time world champion is forbid access to Baku because Azerbaidjan hates Armenian People but Prost is part Armenian. Thanks FIA

I can see the drivers doing a swearing consortium.... If one driver gets a fine, all of the other drivers swear once in their next press conference

I see many a driver just doing a Kimi Raikkonen and responding in monosyllables. No more color in their interviews.

I hope many more will comply maliciously and say something like: "I can't voice my opinions because of the new regulations. Please talk with my representative".

Yeah but now the criminal has to pay FIA as well. Who says crime doesn’t pay huh

A public apology? To a public who absolutely does not care? Lol. Stoopid FIA, I guess these kinds of rules are the only ones they can figure out since they can't consistently handle the actual races, bunch of pencil pushers.

What do they mean by a suspension here? From driving, from giving interviews?

3

I hope a driver makes the public statement "Women are allowed to drive", then slams 10 000€ on the table, and excuses for stating something which doesn't align with FIA's neutrality rules.

You reached the end
