As What can Brown do for You?
In another sign of just how out-of-touch
Formula 1 is, I’m certain you’ve heard about Williams Racing Carlos Sainz Jr.
Bathroom Fine of EU $10,000; approx. $11,340 USD for being a skosh’ late to the
Japanese national anthem at Suzuka.
Even though an accredited Doctor confirmed that
Sainz had had a stomach issue and He’d given the Spaniard medicine to rectify
it, the FIA Fined Sainz anyways. Apparently expecting the driver to have an
accident in His Firesuit instead!
As Sainz freely admitted He was five seconds
late to the start of the national anthem, for which I’d say that Carlos wasn’t
showing any disrespect to Japan at all. Just trying to deal with an honest
medical issue beforehand.
Sainz, who was rightly peeved over the
ridiculous fine mentioned in the Thursday press conference in Bahrain Shit
Happens! Saying He hoped He wouldn’t be fined for saying such an offensive
word…
As all I can say is “What Can Brown do For
You?”
Seriously, the FIA is going out of its way with
Draconion penalties for swearing or going to the bathroom before a race?
As I’m really trying very hard to not scribble
about a driver being humiliated by having to stand for the national anthem with
soiled shorts! Err FIA approved fireproof Nomex boxers, Oh Never Mind!
As this is ridiculous! And when will the FIA start treating the drivers like the Adults they are? And not fining them for going to the Potty’ or saying that provocative word S-H-I-T!
