Tim Mayer, the recently sacked FIA race steward, criticized the governing body for a lack of independent decision-making, stating that president Ben Sulayem interfered in stewarding processes.
In an interview, Mayer revealed that he was sacked by text message and highlighted a concerning trend of personnel leaving the FIA, creating a staffing crisis.
The Grand Prix Drivers' Association expressed their frustration over the FIA's lack of responsiveness and voiced their concerns over penalties for swearing deemed an overreach by Ben Sulayem.
Mayer confirmed that the push to penalize drivers for swearing came directly from Ben Sulayem, questioning the fairness and wisdom of such enforcement in current racing contexts.
