Formula 1’s Russell Voices Concerns Over FIA Stability
Formula One racer George Russell has voiced apprehension regarding the escalating sense of instability at the FIA, the sport’s governing body. These remarks follow the recent resignation of Robert Reid, the FIA’s deputy president for sport.
Deputy President’s Resignation Points to Governance Issues
Reid, in his resignation announcement, cited a ‘fundamental breakdown in governance standards within motorsport’s global governing body’ as his reason for departing the organization.
Drivers’ Influence on FIA Decisions Perceived as Limited
Responding to the news of Reid’s departure, Russell conveyed his unease about the current trajectory of the FIA. “It’s reaching a juncture where such occurrences are becoming increasingly frequent,” Russell commented.
“As drivers, we have collectively attempted to engage in the past, but have achieved limited progress, and developments continue on an uncertain course,” he added.
Russell further elaborated on the perceived lack of impact drivers have on the FIA’s direction. “I must be candid; we are nearing a stage where our actions seem to exert minimal influence on the organization’s leadership.”

“Should our involvement be beneficial, we are prepared to assist, but frequently it appears as though matters are proceeding on a separate course,” Russell concluded.
