F1 drivers voice frustrations over FIA response at Las Vegas Grand Prix

F1 driver George Russell has expressed frustration on behalf of his peers at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. He stated that drivers feel ignored by the FIA after their concerns, raised in a statement from the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association, went unanswered. The drivers are particularly upset about the FIA's handling of penalties, including Max Verstappen's punishment for swearing and the scrutiny of Lewis Hamilton's jewelry. Russell noted that recent leadership changes within the FIA, including the dismissal of race director Niels Wittich, have added to their concerns. Russell emphasized that drivers want to collaborate with the FIA for positive changes but feel their requests are not being taken seriously. This situation has increased pressure on FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, who is facing growing discontent among the drivers.
