George Russell did not have reason to thank the formula control body after half-time penalty drivers were halved.

Mercedes Driver, Director of the Association of the Grand Prix Driver (GPDA), said that high fines “are somewhat crazy in the first row.

“Of course we are happy to see (changes), but that (fines) should never be there”, Briton said to reporters before the Grand Prix Emilia-Romagna in Italian Imola Cruit.

“So it feels a little wrong to thank you (FIA) for change when we shouldn’t have been in that place.”

The control FIA announced on Wednesday that reduces the maximum startup penalties by 50% and giving the stewards of several discretion on decision-making.

Competitors in Formula One and the rally were in logers with the FIA ​​president Mohammed Ben Sulaye over the crack in the bad language during the event.

FIA changed the sports code in January to determine stiff sanctions for drivers who break the rules concerning behavior.

The first offense has launched a monetary offense (44,764 euros) for F1 management programs, which are increased to 80,000 for the second and 120,000 with one-month suspension and a championship deduction for third injuries. These fines are halved.

The abuse of officials will now result in sports punishments, not fines.

McLaren’s Oscar PiastrChampionship leader Formula One Championship, he said it was a positive step.

“Currently, the managers are much more control, which I think it is a good thing because circumstances should definitely take into account” said Australian.

“I think one of the great things for FIA puts something for official abuses, for which I think it is very fair and reasonable. I think some other areas may have become a little caught and felt a little sharp.

“But I think there are some true reasons behind what they do. I think they listened to some of our feedback and changes are in the right direction.”
