Ahead of this weekend’s United St⭕a🎶tes Grand Prix, the FIA approved an increase from the current limit of €250,000 following a change to its International Sporting Code (ISC) in a statement after a meeting of its World Motor Sport Council in Geneva.

“The ISC had previously dete꧃rmined that the maximum fine amount that the stewards can impose is €250,000,” it said.

“This amount has not been reviewed nor amended for at least the last 12 years and does not reflect the current needs of motor spoﷺrt.”

Drivers are 𝔍typically fined in the♕ thousands when speeding in the pit lane.

At the Qatar Grand Prix, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton was fined €50,000, with €25,000 suspended, for crossing a live track following his crash with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell.

Haas driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kevin Magnussen described the hefty sum as “ridiculous”

“I don’t know what offence is 1 m🐻illion,” he said. “It sounds ridiculous🦋. Charles can give his watch! But I’d disappear, never to be seen again!”

Ferrari’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc made the point that some drivers on the grid 🌃make less than that i𓂃n terms of their salary. 

“It’s a huge am🉐ount of money,” he added. “I have no idea what deserv💎es a €1m penalty. Some drivers make less than that. It’s a lot of money.”

Hamilton has called for the fines to go towa💫rds a “cause” or charity.

“I’m not sure what꧑ it’s referring to,” he replied. “We do need to, when it comes to things like this, think about what message it sends to those watching. If they are fined €1m, let’s make sure that 10🐓0% of that goes to a cause. 

“There’s a lot of money in this industry. We need better accessibility, more diversity, there are so many causes aro𓆏und the world. That’s the only way they’ll get €1m from me.”
