Time for the drivers to wield their power and split from the rotten FIA, set up a racing series with integrity and complete what was started in the 70s
Drivers should pay all their fines into the GPDA as a self-directed charity fund. GPDA should also appoint a drivers’ steward to represent the way they want incidents to be judged.
Surely MBS has committed felonies against F1 and the FIA. Good for George leading the questions, I don't think he and other drivers will let this go. Bigger than Horner-gate.
Have to give it to you, Cameron ... you brought the heat. F1 is a premium spectacle; the intersection point of technology/engineering, athleticism and data driven tactics and strategy. As a professional sport, though, it leaves a lot to be desired. The lack of consistency,, transparency and explainability puts it behind sports like the NFL and the NBA. Mohammed Ben Sulayem sits right at the centre of the ridulous decisions and controversy that devalues he sport. Great job calling that out.
Why do you think Andretti is all of the sudden "In".? It's called cutting a Plea deal with US Prosecutors. Nobody wants to end up in the Stripey Hole. Say hi to your neighbor P Diddy.
I’m serious here. MBS is an autocrat. As transparent as Joseph Stalin. He makes Trump (as a leader) look like a diamond. This is an iceberg… a lot more under the surface.
Be nice if they went through his personal life to the forensic detail they did PRESIDENT TRUMP.. That fkn criminal Mueller and his hit squad spent 40 million USD and came up with nothing bet it wouldn't cost 1 percent of that to find plenty on MBS..
I assumed the corruption at heart here at least had plausible deniability but the more I hear about this the more obvious is that it's absolutely pure corruption and bribery. It's absolutely stalin-esque as cameron points out, this is unacceptable and all too common in international sports.
When you have that amount of money and power up for grabs and absolute egomaniacs who love that power they'll do everything and anything to stay in power.
It was a question of time. All sports are bend, some more than others. The more people watching, the higher the level of corruption reaches. Nothing new under the sun. If true, then the man's gotta go. And a complete audit by an independent body as an additional inquiery would be preferable. Because if not, then the sport will be tainted forever.
Just waste time dwelling on this issue...he is the boss of FIA.... he is in power till he retires from the post...btw MBS commision a great koenigsegg 1 of 1 chimera
I remember Eddie Jordan telling during an FFS podcast that his communications manager left Jordan in the early nineties who was at a salary of Pds. 30,000 a year (which was generous in those times) for a job at the Olympic Committee that paid Pds. 150,000 a year, plus a mercedes company car! This just goes to show that institutions such as the FIA, FIFA, the Olympic Committee, the European Parliament not to forget, are just institutions of money grabbing people. My F1 TV subscription went up by more than 30% this year due to bla, bla, bla. Shame on them!! What I think of MBS you can read in the comments below.
What we doing here? Where's Toto? Don't you and Suzie have beef with MBS? Best opportunity for an all out attack no? I think MBS is the real life show The Apprentice😂
Wouldn't it make sense if you are a FIA licensed driver,team principal,team owner(both single and majority owner) that they who are the most effected by the president's decisions, determine who it is? I mean democracy....😅
What about Damien Hill and others. Maybe the loss of so such Knowledge which cant be replaced DUE to simply Having an Opion of your own. Could it be just a normal day for a normal average SAUDI PRINCE, isnt this how its done. PS Dont mention Turkey never mind journalists.
Sulayem should be removed. He is taking the fun out and behaving like a school principal of school kids rather than a sports administrator of grown-ups.
My friend we need to get him gone and get F,1 back to the racing instead of these sily fines i also think the drivers radio chat should not be public until its been veted and bleeps put in not to offend fragile people we want the passion of whole event
this is the Putin-Modus Operandi ....Us, easter-europeans know a few things about this way of operating and ooooh my god is this text-book. MS should end up in prison for this sh*
whe are not in an moslim country and there beleafs f1 sports is an european sports and his way of handeling problems we have rights that does people dont understand
Cameron, it's true that Checo is underperforming...by a countrymile, but red bull isn't helping, quite the opposite...Hugh Bird is a disaster as his race engineer, he makes mistake after mistake every single weekend, and you know he isn't driving the same car as Max. It's hard to have confidence and do your best under this circunstances.
Nothing to see here. This is the world we live in. Corrupt to the bone.
we all have to climb down from the trees
Straight out of FIFA' s handboek. That's how Sepp Blatter stayed in power so long.
exactly this! I had this noted down to say but I neglected to didn't I! Ugh. Great point though!
FIA is just wanna FIFA, it's FIFA with cars.
Exactly! When there is money in sport, there is money in deep pockets of white colar criminals! An utter discrace!!
Time for the drivers to wield their power and split from the rotten FIA, set up a racing series with integrity and complete what was started in the 70s
Agreed, this has already been discussed amongst f1 fans !!
This situation was predicted!
Let's make a deal with MBS.
He can have his private jets if we get V10s back.
V10s would align well with petrostates.
That is not how a CEO is supposed to run an organization.
Nothing like good old fashioned corruption. MBS needs to go.
Drivers should pay all their fines into the GPDA as a self-directed charity fund. GPDA should also appoint a drivers’ steward to represent the way they want incidents to be judged.
Bring the pitchforks lads!
0:50 This is a quote derived from George Orwell’s novel Animal Farm: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
Standard elementary school reading where i grew up.
Yeah, we know....
Thx for educating us dumb fcks.
So is your mum
I'm sick of sports - they're all corrupt - don't know how much longer i can even watch F1
😭
Agreed.
Wanna bet that Blatter is his rolemodel? FIA turning into FIFA
Would be hilarious if it also turns out that the drivers payed 1.5 million in fines this year. 🤣 .... 1 + 1 =..... exactly
He's just a narcistic crook, nobody likes him! How is this allowed, he is ruining f1!!
Can't they just make Seb the FIA president? :(
Iceman for president
Not a bad idea, although V10 engines will definitely be a thing of the past 😉
@@remconoordermeer7015why? Climate? Batteries are worse
Seb is a good one man!
DU BIST FIA president! UNBELIEVABLE thank you bois idk what to say!
Surely MBS has committed felonies against F1 and the FIA. Good for George leading the questions, I don't think he and other drivers will let this go. Bigger than Horner-gate.
Could f1 leave the FIA as there becoming a joke
It's time for a Drivers STRIKE.
Denk je dat echt Pieter?

You are describing totalitarianism. That's not actually the same thing as fascism.
You've only got to do a little deep dive into him and you can see the kind of person he is.
Look at the culture he comes from. Money, power and greed are all he knows.
this fia president is just another Sepp Blatter.... (former Fifa president). No further clarification needed.
Really good story on MBS & his hypocrisy built on a pile of obvious lies & un truths.
Vote Cameron for prime minister of UK!
The fines don't go into a fund for the betterment of F1, but there's a fund set up for the FIA?
Money gets power, power gives fear… untarnished souls.

Gold is the only thing he wants. Maybe he can give oil to F1
Guys, we are witnessing F1nistan 101!
When you have that amount of money and power up for grabs and absolute egomaniacs who love that power they'll do everything and anything to stay in power.
Conspiracy makes the world go round
FIAs MBS is FIFAs Blatter/Infantino. All the same crooks.
It was a question of time.
All sports are bend, some more than others.
The more people watching, the higher the level of corruption reaches.
Nothing new under the sun.

Where is the french financial police? Well?

Thanks.

Yes my dear sir Cameron, that is the s(t)inkhole we called world. It is the same everywhere. I think F1 is Blackrock. "What are we doing here?"
MBS needs to be gone. He makes Bernie look like an angel.
An auditer that is on payroll?
This is a joke.
Vettel to new FIA president, and bring M. Masi back. And thanks Mr Cameron to your not PC opinion 👍
What we doing here? Where's Toto? Don't you and Suzie have beef with MBS? Best opportunity for an all out attack no? I think MBS is the real life show The Apprentice😂
Follow the money. 2:47
This what happens when the saudis get involved
MBS should be put on community service for the rest of his life, without salary! He is the Puttin of the FIA.
Woeeeee Nellly as we say in Yrinidad....that is bacchanal 😮😮. Is he trying to subvert the wjole dam boting process?????
Why not Jean Alesi?
Outrages😮😢
Doesn’t Tim Mayer have relations to mclaren and was a steward. Mexico gp kinda questionable
Conflict of interests maybe
Wouldn't it make sense if you are a FIA licensed driver,team principal,team owner(both single and majority owner) that they who are the most effected by the president's decisions, determine who it is?
I mean democracy....😅
It’s sort perverse, the arrogance this guy has.
That’s Ben Salami, not you Cameron ;)
CC, be very careful, you can’t bring this kind of corruption to light without fearing for your life. The humanity, my God
I'd love to take credit, but The Times are breaking the news 🥹
there was guy in charge in Iraq he had a 98% vote to stay in ( you vote for me you get your free food card back! if not you don't get it back!
What about Damien Hill and others. Maybe the loss of so such Knowledge which cant be replaced DUE to simply Having an Opion of your own. Could it be just a normal day for a normal average SAUDI PRINCE, isnt this how its done. PS Dont mention Turkey never mind journalists.
BEN NEEDS TO RESIGN
When has all the money gone ? MBS spent it on Champagne and Hookers 😂
Tbh Bernie wad no better
whAAAAAt
All these issues. Smells like a drivers` strike on the horizon.
Sulayem should be removed. He is taking the fun out and behaving like a school principal of school kids rather than a sports administrator of grown-ups.
He's just governing like what he's used to in the middle East. What the freaking FIA expect? What did F1 expect?
I said, and saying again.
This man can not run a Camel Race in his own country.
Drivers wake up and move out of FIA
The Good the Bad and the Ugliest F1 corrupted maffia …
My friend we need to get him gone and get F,1 back to the racing instead of these sily fines i also think the drivers radio chat should not be public until its been veted and bleeps put in not to offend fragile people we want the passion of whole event
I mean what do we expect from a guy who comes from practically an autocratic state whose views do not align with civility in 2024?
this is the Putin-Modus Operandi ....Us, easter-europeans know a few things about this way of operating and ooooh my god is this text-book. MS should end up in prison for this sh*

FFS Cameron - facism? Come off it. So tired of that word being bandied about.
It's an important word that speaks to a particular brand of leadership. Use it sparingly, but when appropriate.
"Oppressive, dictatorial control." .. sounds about right to me.
Muslim
You speak painfully and unnecessarily slow…. Boring.
Cameron, it's true that Checo is underperforming...by a countrymile, but red bull isn't helping, quite the opposite...Hugh Bird is a disaster as his race engineer, he makes mistake after mistake every single weekend, and you know he isn't driving the same car as Max. It's hard to have confidence and do your best under this circunstances.
