This absolute nonsense. Max should push this issue by not complying (maybe even add a little "fuck yous" in the message). What are they going to do? Whatever the next step would be, just ignore and do not comply.

Force the hand of the FIA to show them for what they are : idiots gatekeeping nonsense. This does nothing for the sport and it is a non-issue.

Some part of me feels this is a consequence of an American company owning F1 now and implementing these BS actions that seem to be normal in US sports. I was afraid that this mentality would come to F1 and here we are...

The British are way more afraid of swearing on national TV than the Americans are
