Toto Wolff has lashed out at the FIA’s decision to increase maximum fines for F1 drivers to €1m.
The International Sporting Code was tweaked ahead of this weekend’s F1 United States Grand Prix, most notably amending a regulation that hadn’t been touched for 12 years.
Mercedes team principal Wolff said:"There needs to be some deterrent for grave infringements of the regulations."€1m? We need to do a reality check with real life, whether that is an adequate fine or not. "We don't want to portray Formula 1 out there in the world where it's tough enough, to give drivers fines of €1m.“I don't think it is adequate, considering. I don't think we should be playing around with those numbers that seem very surreal to people who are watching us."
