Mercedes driver George Russell defended the temporary suspension of FIA steward Derek Warwick for his controversial media comments, stating that anything more than a one-race ban would have been excessive. Warwick, a four-time grand prix podium finisher, was set to officiate at the Canadian Grand Prix but was replaced due to his remarks about current F1 drivers and a past incident involving Max Verstappen and Russell. The FIA released a statement confirming Warwick’s suspension and his subsequent acknowledgement of his ill-advised comments. Russell expressed understanding for Warwick’s situation, emphasizing the scrutiny faced by every word spoken in the competitive world of Formula 1. The incident highlighted the delicate balance between freedom of speech and the responsibilities of FIA stewards, with consequences seen in the case of Johnny Herbert’s permanent removal from stewarding earlier in the year.
