[Rules] The FIA - what's occurring there?

[flatlandsman]

I do think there are some things to take into account.

Lewis and Sulayem have history and Lewis clearly has no time for the man, I also feel Lewis is doing a little virtue signalling to serve this cause. Nothing really wrong with that per se as he has an axe to grind.

Also Sulayem has lived his entire life a billionaire, he knows nothing of the real outside world so was probably making a flippant remark with less knowledge than some, it is certainly true this music contains a huge amount of swearing and attitude towards a lot of people that is awful, too much for most peoples ears and he is right to make the point that drivers should not be doing it where possible.

For Lewis to take that as a smite against black people for me a little pathetic sorry.

Max pushes back against the FIA for penalising him by saying very little in the FIA press conference and then staged his own press conference outside later.

Lewis & Lando take Max's side in the FIA press conference.

Really feels like MBS in particular, & the FIA in general is turning a molehill into a mountain here and urinating into the wind - just all seems utterly pointless.

Maybe, being a "man in white dress" MBS really HAS had little exposure to the levels of swearing in the western world these days - TV, movies etc. all feature more than used to be the case but then general life does too (although, as an Australian, I've been told before that we tend to swear a lot compared to some other countries). Regardless though, it seems a strange hill to want to die on and I don't think that handing out penalties is the smart way to go at all - makes it all seem so pettifogging and "jobsworth".
