Ben Sulayem's post on IG:

Following constructive feedback from drivers across our seven FIA World Championships, I am considering making improvements to Appendix B. As a former rally driver, I understand the demands they face better than most.

Appendix B is a key part of the International Sporting Code and is central in helping keep the sport accessible for all our sporting family.

Humans make the rules and humans can improve the rules. This principle of continuous improvement is something I have always believed in and is at the heart of all we do at the FIA.

Couldn’t resist stating he’s a former rally driver.

“Any words, deeds or writings that have caused moral injury or loss to the FIA, its bodies, its members or its executive officers, and more generally on the interest of motor sport and on the values defended by the FIA.”

If I understand this sentence correctly, this could be used to silence criticism towards the FIA, right? /s Great idea from MBS to prevent dissent

They’re racing at 200mph, risking life and limb, heart rates reaching peaks of 200bpm over the course 2hours. And they can’t drop a curse when it’s needed?

Fuck off with this puritan bullshit.
