Mohammed Ben Sulayem GOES OFF FOR PUNISHMENT to Red Bull For Attempted PROTEST Against McLaren!
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem has reportedly reacted with fury towards Red Bull following what is being described as an “attempted protest” against the legality of McLaren’s car. This development comes amidst ongoing scrutiny of McLaren’s superior tire management, with Red Bull allegedly continuing to voice concerns, even after the FIA has seemingly found no wrongdoing on the Woking team’s part.

Sources within the FIA suggest that Ben Sulayem has grown increasingly frustrated with what he perceives as unfounded and disruptive allegations from Red Bull aimed at destabilizing their rivals. Following McLaren CEO Zak Brown’s call for penalties against teams making frivolous accusations, the FIA President has reportedly gone a step further, indicating a strong intention to punish Red Bull for pursuing what he deems to be baseless protests without concrete evidence.

The exact nature of the “punishment” being considered by Ben Sulayem remains undisclosed, but speculation within the paddock suggests it could involve a significant financial penalty, potentially impacting Red Bull’s cost cap allowance. This would serve as a clear message from the FIA that unsubstantiated claims against competitors will not be tolerated and that teams must follow the correct protocols for lodging formal protests with solid evidence.

This strong stance from the FIA President underscores the growing tension between the top teams and the governing body’s desire to maintain order and prevent the championship battle from being overshadowed by off-track squabbles and unsubstantiated accusations. The coming days will be crucial in determining the extent of the FIA’s punitive action and how Red Bull will respond to this firm message from Mohammed Ben Sulayem.
