The World Rally Championship's Adrien Fourmaux has become the first driver sanctioned under the new FIA stewards' penalty guidelines.

Having finished the Rally Sweden power stage on Sunday, the Frenchman used the F-word during his post-stage interview, which was broadcast live.

In response, the stewards handed him a €30,000 fine, with €20,000 of that suspended for 12 months. In accordance to the FIA International Sporting Code (ISC), the first €10,000 must be paid within 48 hours of notification.

This is so stupid 30k is a considerable sum of money. It feels like this was made with just F1 drivers in mind.

Yeah this is an absolute outrage to be honest and pushback needs to happen. I can't imagine rally drivers make enough to make this fine trivial, and that is only the tip of the iceberg to be honest considering this applies to almost all motorsports.

God I hate MBS with a passion.

I wish fans at every race would sneak in "Fuck MBS" banners and hold them up to the cameras. Perhaps some photoshopped posters would do as well....

[–] florge@feddit.uk 9 points 1 year ago

Yeah, looked up the guy's salary and it's apparently 500k. So he can afford it, but it's still a lot.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, didn't realise it applied to other motorsports too. Pretty much everyone except F1 drivers are basically losing money by racing, so that's a ridiculous amount of money to fine someone.
