Klien: “The drivers are not small children”
The Formula 1 drivers take sharp aim at FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem following penalties. Christian Klien takes a clear stance in the dispute and takes up the cudgels for the drivers' concerns. The 49-time GP starter in an interview.
"Krone": Christian, the Formula 1 drivers' union (GPDA) has issued a joint statement (see Instagram post below) denouncing the increasing paternalism of FIA boss Ben Sulayem. How do you see this dispute?
Christian Klien : It took a long time for the drivers to speak out. It started with the ban on wearing earrings, then you were practically no longer allowed to wear underwear under the fireproof overall, and now every swear word is punished with fines. All this is going too far. The drivers are not little children who have to be patronized by the FIA President with a raised index finger.
