The FIA has revised its penalty policy regarding swearing by Formula One drivers, reducing the maximum fine from 10,000 euros to 5,000 euros. This decision aims to ease tensions between the governing body and prominent drivers such as Max Verstappen, who criticized the strict rules. The FIA will now exercise more discretion in penalties, particularly differentiating between controlled environments, like press conferences, and uncontrolled environments, such as race tracks. FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem highlighted the new approach is based on collaboration and recognizes the emotional challenges faced by drivers.
