Max Verstappen expressed his dissatisfaction with the FIA following the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, where he felt a penalty cost him a chance at victory. He criticized new FIA regulations that could penalize drivers for expressing opinions, stating, “I cannot share my opinion about it because I might get penalised also.” Verstappen’s guarded remarks reflect a broader discontent among drivers, supported by the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association, regarding the FIA’s handling of criticism and communication, which they argue undermines the sport’s integrity.
