Drivers “miffed” with “dysfunctional” FIA but key query posed about the row
"They haven’t got tim🧸e to sort themselves out, it seems to me, let alone talk to the drivers."

Martin Brun෴dle has questioned why the Grand Prix Drivers Association did not target 🧸more important issues in their statement to the FIA.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell, the headও of the GDPA, revealed in Las Vegas the governing body of Formula 1 have not responded to their gripes.
The GDPA had created a new Instagram account to criticise the FIA’s hardline stance on swearing, which had seen Max Verstapܫpen hit with a community service punishment.
“I was a bit surprised with the GDPA thing going ꦬon Instagram, and that they didn’t ask more about professional stewa👍rds or drivers’ guidelines, rather than underpants and jewellery,” Sky Sports’ Brundle said.
“Clearly the FIA is dysfunctional at the moment.
“The revolving door of senior personnel is extreme. They haven’t got ti🔴me to sort themselves out, it seems to me, let alone talk to the drivers.
“It’s always be🍌en the case. The current iteration of the GDPA, I started with Michael Schumacher and Gerhard Berger. I w♋as the chairman in 1994.
“The drivers have always tried to get an accord.
“The stakeholders, the owners and F1 don’t ꦇreally want the drivers to have a voice.”
The FIA has been plunged into further controversy with the removal of race director Niels Wittich💝 with three rounds of the season remaining.
Wittich has claimed he was pushed out, and Verstappen ad⛄mittedไ his shock.
Brundle ꦅsaid: “It’s very difficult to rationalise. Niels said he was fired. He fully expected to be here.”
He continued: “Clearly [the drivers] are miffed, and I don’t blame them, for reading on social media that the race director has changed with three to go. It makes no se🦋nse at all.
“Drivers have always tried to have𒀰 a union. But they can be a disparate bun🍌ch, because it’s such a transient group of people, even this season.”
Jenson Button added: “It’s g🅺ood that they ꧋are outspoken, and all on the same page.”
Danica Patrick said: “I don’t think that, whenever an organisation tries to be bi♍gger th♚an the talent within, it ever works out.
“You have to work with them. These are your gladiator🔯s. They’re the o🐻nes risking their lives.
“Niels is ultim🃏ately the oneও who helps them keep safe.
“Any time it feels like your voice isn’t hea💃rd, when you’re playing such a big role in the sport, it just doesn’t sit well.”
