Wolff: €1m fines "very surreal" for F1 fans
The FIA has increased the maximum fine for F1 competitors from €250,000 to one million euros, surprising teams and drivers. Some drivers, including George Russell, expressed concerns about the high figures, as many drivers don’t earn that much at the start of their F1 career. Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff also raised concerns about the message it sends to fans in today’s tough economic climate. Aston Martin principal Mike Krack agreed with Wolff, stating that the FIA should come back to reality with its fine hike. Haas team boss Guenther Steiner suggested that drivers should have a say in where the money from fines goes, preferably to charities.
