Formula 1 driver George Russell has voiced concerns over the FIA’s handling of recent controversies and the dismissal of key officials. The GPDA’s open letter calls for better communication and transparency after drivers felt sidelined. Russell emphasized the desire for unity among drivers, expressing dissatisfaction with the former race director, Niels Wittich. Other drivers, including Lando Norris and Kevin Magnussen, echoed these sentiments, noting a shift from the collaborative atmosphere under former FIA director Charlie Whiting to a more adversarial relationship. The upcoming races will see Rui Marques stepping in as the new race director.
