HUGE TENSION At F1 Drivers After FIA SHOCKING STATEMENT! McLaren's PLAN To BEAT Verstappen In 2025!

[@daviddawson4091]

The most elite and expensive sport on earth, but unlike every other professional sport, they can't afford to pay the refs?

[@joostprins3381]

His personal 1,5 million expenses fund should be a starter.

[@okbutthenagain.9402]

Sulayem wants everyone to pay for everything yet rakes in billions with the FIA. He treats drivers like kids then gets upset when they demand like kids...

[@underSTATEDexcellence]

Ben thinks he’s the head of the mafia, you gotta pay him more money to get things right, sure be a shame if this whole F1 thing fell apart, that’s from his mouth.

[@thijsheestermans3162]

The FIA doesn't have the financial means to pay the salary of a few stewards 🤣🤣🤣🤣 WTF, sounds like a very professional organization. Imagine FIFA can't afford to pay refferees 🤣

It's not just "Max's driving standards" Lando is equally capable of committing late lunge dive bombs, as he proved this year.

[@nigelm1130]

Billion of TV revenue and no money to pay for Stewards , maybe they find a little to spent :-) .... MBS caused already so much damage

[@joostprins3381]

Very close to a race ban? Depends on what the FIA wants, because they decide the amount of penalty points, and if they keep appointing biased stewards then yes he is close, Max is on 8, until June I believe.

[@vandalsgarage]

Of course they need to have professional, paid Stewards. Salaries and support comes from FOM and the teams. The teams can pay a percentage of their end year payouts, so the most well compensated teams would pay more than the bottom rung teams. And FOM would also chip in out of their profits. Multi billion dollar sport, the money is there, ffs.

One would hope the FIA President isn't baised towards Rally racing.

"What is Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) responsible for? - Formed in 2001 to improve refereeing standards, the PGMOL group officiate across all the Premier League, English Football League (EFL) and Football Association (FA) Competitions.

These are broken down between Select Group 1 Referees, Select Group 1 Assistant Referees, Select Group 2 Referees and women's Select Group officials. How is being a Select Group referee different? - Premier League matches are officiated by Select Group and Development Group referees and assistant referees."

Far to much bias leveled at verstappen as a result of drivers who can't match his driving which has led to bias against him via British media as they haven't got a driver capable of challenging him..... they work on false theories in an effort to have him deemed as dangerous however, weak driving should not be an excuse to denounce an e tree lying capable driver. Bad sportsmanship at its best, by teams , drivers and media..... get a life, this is racing.
