Formula 1 drivers have urged the sport's governing body to treat them like adults after Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc were punished for swearing.

Anastasia Fowle. The letter emphasises the drivers' desire to "collaborate in a constructive way with all the stakeholders, including the FIA president in order to promote our great sport of the benefit of everyone who works in it, pays for it, watches it and indeed loves it". In that context, the fact the drivers have gone as far as to publish a letter criticising two key aspects of the FIA's policing of the sport will be interpreted as evidence of their frustration with Ben Sulayem’s stance on the issues involved. It is also a reflection of their feeling that they have not been heard or respected by the FIA on the matters in question. The drivers' unhappiness can be gauged by the fact that this is their first collective public statement since 2017, when they asked for a reform of the decision-making process in F1 to keep the sport healthy.
