Formula 1 Driver George Russell Slams FIA Again in Scathing Critique

British Formula 1 driver George Russell didn’t hold back in his criticism of the recent FIA U-turn on banning swear words, labeling the rule as “ridiculous” and implying it should never have been implemented in the first place. Russell expressed his frustration at how drivers were being treated like children and highlighted the lack of communication from FIA officials. He even went as far as deeming the situation “suspicious” and potentially a public relations stunt – especially amidst rumors of Carlos Sainz Sr. running for FIA presidency.

“I feel like the changes should never have happened in the first place,” stated Russell, who serves as the director of the GPDA. “We’re talking about a situation where things were reversed because they were a bit ridiculous from the start. Of course, we’re happy to see things back to normal, but they should never have changed in the first place. So, it feels somewhat wrong to be thanking for the changes when, to begin with, we shouldn’t have been in that position. It’s a bit of a strange situation.”

Russell also pointed out the lack of correspondence from anyone at the FIA, adding to the suspicion surrounding the whole ordeal. The original fine of €10,000 has now been reduced to €5,000, with the stewards allowed to waive penalties for first-time offenses. Despite FIA President Mohammed ben Sulayem claiming that drivers were consulted, Russell insists that no meetings took place, underscoring the ongoing disconnect between drivers and the regulatory body.
