Drivers “miffed” with “dysfunctional” FIA but key query posed about the row
"They haven’t got time to sort themselves out, it seems to me, let alon☂e talk to the dr🍬ivers."

Martin Brundle 𝓡has questioned why the Grand Prix Drivers Association did not ta☂rget more important issues in their statement to the FIA.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell, the head of the GDPA, revealed in Las Vegas the governing bod𓆉y of Formula 1 have not responded to their gripes.
The GDPA had created a new Instagram account to criticise the FIA’s ℱhardline stance on swearing, which had seen Max Verstappen hit♛ with a community service punishment.
“I was a bit 🍃surprised with the GDPA thing going on Instagram, and that they didn’t ask more about professional stewards or drivers’ guidelines, rather than underpants and jewellery,” Sky Sports’ Brundle said.
“Clearly the FIA is dysfunctional at the moment.
“The revolving doo🙈r of senior personnel is extreme. They haven’t got time to sort themselves out, it seems to me, let alone༺ talk to the drivers.
“It’s always been the case. 𓆉The current iteration of the GDPA, I started with Michael Schumacher and Gerhard Berger. I was the chairman in 1994.
“The drivers have always tried to get an accord.
“The stakeඣholders, the owne♛rs and F1 don’t really want the drivers to have a voice.”
The FIA has been plunged into further controversy with the rem🐲oval of race director Niels Wittich with three rounds of the season remaining.
Wittich has claimed he was pushed out, and Verstappen admit🅘ted his shock.
Brundle said: “It’s very difficult to rationalise. Niels said he was fired. He fully ex💞pected to be here.”
H💖e continued: “Clearly [the drivers] are miffed, and I don’t blame them, for reading on social media that the race director has changed with three to 🍌go. It makes no sense at all.
“Drivers have always tried to have a union. But they can be a dis🌱parate bunch, because it’s such a transient group of 🐼people, even this season.”
Jenson Button added: “It’s good that they are outspoken, and all on the same page🧸.”
Danica Pat🦋rick said: “I don’t think that, whenever an organisation tries to be bigger than the talent within, it ever works out.
“You have to work with them. These are your gla🌼diators. Theyꦑ’re the ones risking their lives.
“Niels is ultimately the one who he✱lps them keep safe.
“Any tꦕime it feels like your voice isn’t heard, when you’re playing such aဣ big role in the sport, it just doesn’t sit well.”
