George Russell suggests implementing a “six-figure sum” charge for Formula 1 teams to file appeals with race stewards to deter frivolous protests. The recent dispute at the Canadian GP saw Red Bull contesting Russell’s victory, which was ultimately dismissed after a six-hour review, with Russell declared the winner. Russell advocates for a higher deposit for protests, arguing that the current €2000 fee is negligible for teams making significant profits. He proposes a refund on the deposit for successful protests, creating a financial risk for teams initiating appeals. The incident underscores the ongoing debate over the use of full-time, paid stewards versus rotating volunteers in Formula 1.
