F1 drivers stunned after maximum fines quadrupled to \u20ac1 million\u060c<\/p>\n

\n

Formula 1 drivers expressed their shock and astonishment on Thursday after the sport’s governing body quadrupled the amount stewards can fine them to a maximum of one million euros (1.06 million bucks).<\/p>\n

The change to the International Sporting Code (ISC) was approved at a meeting of the FIA \u200b\u200bWorld Motor Sport Council in Geneva.<\/p>\n

The previous ceiling of 250,000 euros has not been reviewed or modified for at least 12 years “and does not reflect the current needs of motorsport”, specifies the press release.<\/p>\n

Mercedes’ George Russell, head of the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association (GPDA), said the new maximum “seems obscene”.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my first year in Formula 1 (at Williams), I had a five-figure salary and I actually lost over six figures paying my coach, paying my flights, paying an assistant,\u201d he said. he told reporters at the United<\/a> States Grand Prix. Price.<\/p>\n

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc said he had no idea what might merit a $1 million penalty and Haas driver Kevin Magnussen, whose team has one of the smallest budgets, said how ridiculous it seemed.<\/p>\n

\u201cCharles can give his watch but I would disappear never to be found again,\u201d added the Dane.<\/p>\n

Leclerc had an exclusive Richard Mille watch, valued at more than $2 million, stolen from his wrist in Italy last year.<\/p>\n
