Formula 1’s governing body, the FIA, announced Thursday that it will increase the maximum possible fine stewards are allowed to impose to a staggering €1 million.
The decision from the FIA quadruples the current maximum allowable fine, which is capped at €250,000. That figure had not been amended in more than a decade, prompting the governing body to make a change.
F1 drivers aren’t happy with the significant adjustment to the rule, and many of the sport’s star drivers weighed in on the looming changes.
