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

MODERATORS
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....
Yeah, looked up the guy's salary and it's apparently 500k. So he can afford it, but it's still a lot.
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.
I hope for some backlash from drivers, like just skipping all interviews from now on or something like that, since this is just stupid and over the top. FIA, what the fuck?
Some people lambasted Max when he shut up in a couple of interviews, doing the absolute bear minimum as required and give full on interviews outside of the buildings. But according to many he was 'behaving like a child' or 'being immature' or 'being the typical arrogant Max' and whatnot.
Turns out he was giving us a sample on how to deal with this BS and took the lead. My guess is the other drivers just neither have the balls nor gumption to follow suit. As so many times before, Max is at the forefront of these kind of situations and probably has to fight the bulk of this alone while others just sit still and smile sheepishly. The only other drivers I trust to speak out and help him with this are Hamilton and Alonso, the rest of the field you can not rely on to make a stance.
Skipping interviews? Thatโs also a fine.
Fuck MBS.
Honestly disappointed it wasn't Max somehow lol.
