Carlos Sainz took a high risk at the Bahrain GP press conference on Thursday.
F1 driver Carlos Sainzia A fine of at least € 40,000 is threatened.
According to the BBC Sainz cursed Bahrain at the GP press conference on Thursday. Before the start of the season, the International Motor Sports Association FIA announced that it would begin to fining drivers for bad behavior with a hard hand.
The bad behavior defined in FIA’s rules is, for example, rough language and offensive gestures. In many series, the first criminal offense will get a fine of $ 10,000, but in the F1 series, all fines have been quadrupled.
Thus, a fine of EUR 40,000 snaps from the first offense. The other will be 80,000 euros and a month’s probationary period.
Sainz cursed on Thursday as he commented on the events of the previous week. The Spanish driver was late for the pre -National anthem ceremony of the Japanese GP because he was talking to the doctor.
Sainz’s stomach had been confused on the day of the race. The doctor confirmed that he had written a medicine to the driver.
The normal fine would have been € 60,000, but exceptionally, Sainz had to pay “only” EUR 10,000. Another tenth tonne will be paid if the offense is repeated.
– I am in favor of precision and gentleman use. Especially when it comes to national anthems. I immediately apologized for my delay. However, I was five seconds late. I had to pay $ 10,000 for five seconds, it’s ok, Sainz commented on Thursday.
Next, the jockey took the expensive risk with his choice of words.
– I don’t know if I get another fine when I said this, but Shit Happens [paskoja asioita tapahtuu]Sainz threw.
Where’s the money going?
Carlos Sainz is not happy with FIA’s line. Aop
Even before the start of the season, Sainz commented that he considers the punishment of the swear as the wrong line. The same has been repeated, among other things George Russell and the swearing service sent to the community service Max Verstappen.
Also inside the fia is buzzing. Vice chairman of the organization Robert Reid resigned on Thursday and said he was opposed to the direction in which the FIA is going.
Reid started his wash in 2021, but the spacing cooled. According to Dirtfirsh In February, he was not admitted to the FIA International Motor Sports Council meeting.
– I received this pest to serve FIA members, I would not serve power. The principles we promised to stick to have been worn out, Reid said, according to Dirtfish.
– Decisions are made in closed doors. At the same time, the structures and the people that make the FIA exist. I do not resign because of people, but for my principles. Motor sports deserve a management that takes responsibility and is transparent and member -oriented. I cannot be part of a system that does not represent these values.
Sainz described the fine he received as a disappointment and just hinted at FIA’s transparency problem.
– I wish someone tell me what I paid for $ 10,000 goes. I could even think it goes for good use.
