I wonder why the organisation that keeps punishing drivers for random shit isn't liked by the fans?

Liberty arguably turned the commercial aspect of formula 1 around, and FIA is ruining it with morality police bullshit. Nobody's interested in stopping body piercings or clutching pearls over swearing besides Ben.

I expect these FIA stories to ramp up to COTA, so there will be many crazy stories from many places until then. But, this guy IMO is the cause and is killing the goose that laid the golden egg. He should STFU
