After the race on Sunday in which he finished second to McLaren’s Lando Norris, he warned that his frustration at the “silly” stance of the FIA had prompted him to consider his future in the sport. His disdain of the FIA’s position and the punishment had already been publicly supported by high-profile drivers including Norris and Lewis Hamilton.
