George Russell The FIA has reacted to the President’s comments about changing strict rules that impose a penalty to Formula 1 drivers for swearing in.
Mohammad Ben Sulem posted on social media that he was considering reviewing the plan to punish drivers to use dishonest language.
Ben Sulem wrote on Instagram that after “creative response” from drivers around the world, he was open to “improve”.
However, Russell said that his words do not mean anything until the change has been changed “.
The Mercedes driver was asked about the post and said: “We want to see these things in action instead of saying ‘we are considering things’. We all consider a lot of things.
“We are clear that we want change and once they are implemented, we will comment on it. But this is being considered for some time. So those words mean nothing until the change has been made.”

Russell’s former team-met Lewis Hamilton has also suggested that Grand Prix Drivers Association is eligible to consult about future decisions in the governing body of F1,
And Russell, who is the director of GPDA, agrees, says: “I think it is like an unprecedented time.
“In the last 18 months, what has been changing, and GPDA was established years ago, it was not really to talk about politics. It was to talk about security.
“Suddenly, I am talking about myself about the subjects that I really had no intention of talking, but we find ourselves at a time where we are not focusing on things.
“We are the fastest cars for fans, to make the best shows for the safest cars. The best technology, the best engineering and yet we talk about fines and punishment and swearing -in.”
