The Grand Prix Drivers’ Association have launched a scathing public letter to the FIA, complaining about the treatment of the sport’s stars after a series of controversies involving the sport’s governing body.
The FIA have made enemies of numerous drivers – most notably Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen – with the governing body’s president Mohammed Ben Sulayem coming in for significant criticism.
In Singapore, a community service punishment handed to Max Verstappen for swearing in a press conference sparked uproar, leading the Dutchman to launch a protest that he maintained throughout the weekend.
Now, the drivers have mobilised and the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association – led by George Russell – have released a bold statement, demanding better treatment from the FIA.
Within the sport, references were made to Verstappen’s swearing punishment, and the clampdown on Hamilton’s jewellery back in 2023, as well as Sebastian Vettel’s iconic underwear stunt in 2022.
