FORMULA ONE drivers are furious they could now be fined up to a million euros for breaking the sport’s rules after the FIA QUADRUPLED their maximum punishment. He said: “I think it’s pretty ridiculous that a driver could be fined a million Euros. “We are doing what we love, so not complaining about that but if you fine him a million, I don’t know what’s going to happen. “We’ve requested before from FIA to hear where these fines are going towards, what causes. “I don’t know what you have to do to get a fine of million euros, I don’t know of any sport or profession outside of the corporate world where you can be fined that amount. “For me, it sounds obscene and there needs to be a lot more transparency about where these fines are going. “There needs to be a much better dialogue between FIA and drivers.”.
