Formula One drivers have come together to express their dissatisfaction with the FIA, demanding to be treated with respect and maturity. This collective statement from all 20 drivers follows recent sanctions imposed on Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc for swearing, which has sparked controversy. The Grand Prix Drivers’ Association (GPDA), representing the interests of F1 drivers, released a strongly worded statement criticizing the FIA's recent policies and the approach taken by its president, Mohammed Ben Sulayem. The drivers took issue with the "tone and language" used by the FIA and raised concerns about the organization's financial transparency. This public critique is notable and places the FIA in a challenging position as it navigates the drivers' demands for more adult treatment and accountability.
