Drivers warn FIA: start treating us like adults

The Grand Prix Drivers' Association (GPDA) issued a strongly worded statement yesterday, addressing the recent controversy over swearing. It took issue with the "tone and language" used by Ben Sulayem and questioned the financial transparency of the FIA, in a highly unusual and very public critique which puts the FIA in a difficult position.

After Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc were punished for swearing in FIA press conferences the feeling among the drivers was that the governing body was wildly overreacting. Yesterday their scathing, united reaction was their first collective public statement since 2017.

"There is a difference between swearing intended to insult others and more casual swearing, such as you might use to describe bad weather, or indeed an inanimate object such as an F1 car or a driving situation," the statement said.
