British colleagues from Guardian namely, they are the day after the race GP Monaco reported that Americans they are not happy with how it will be FIA operated or advanced this year. According to sources, at Liberty Medium they fear that the decisions of the umbrella organization FIA harmful to sport.
V this season it has already happened type of incidents, the last in Monaco. She did it first start of the race postponed for an hour, and then the decision was made to instead standing start the race starts with flying behind the safety car. FIA she stated that this was a consequence startup system errors, but whether this is the case or not, followed huge criticism at the expense of doing so. Lewis Hamilton for example, he said it was a shame because the start of the race was not as originally planned.
Popularity Formula 1 it has increased in recent years, but such cases they don't do well the sport itself. This is already one of countless incidents this season and seems to be the owners Formula 1 in the FIA and in particular its new President Mohammed Ben Sulayem they are fighting more and more often - also through the media. The fact that it is I'm Sulayem took over the leadership of the ombudsmen from Jean Todt, for Liberty Medio to it was not the best choice.
Formula 1 and the FIA are diametrically opposed
Liberty Medium or Formula 1 in FIA they have clashed several times this year. Officer The Guardian provides a list of these incidents:
The FIA's report on the controversy over last year's final in Abu Dhabi is said to be very unsatisfactory for many.
The FIA was embarrassed when individual national racing bodies such as Britain’s Motorsport UK banned Russian teams, participants or officials from participating in events in the UK. Formula 1 immediately proposed the resignation of the Russian Grand Prix, but the FIA acted very slowly.
The ban on wearing jewelry was not right for many. The measure is considered pointless interference. It is alleged that Ben Sulayem insisted on asserting himself.
Ben Sulayem most personally opposed the unanimous agreement between Formula 1 and all teams to increase sprint races to number six next year. The teams wouldn’t be very happy about that, to put it mildly. The FIA wants to see financial compensation for this purpose.
In Miami, Esteban Ocon and Carlos Sainz have repeatedly spoken about replacing the concrete fence at turn number 14 with the Tecpro guardrail. The FIA denied it.
In the Formula 1 camp or Liberty Media you high officials want to be role umbrella organizations FIA strongly decreased. But bad publicity is something we always want to avoid. But so far this has not gone exactly smoothly.
