"They only get rubbish because this dude keeps opening his mouth with unhinged or ridiculous stuff": Former Red Bull employee calls out FIA president

Former Red Bull engineer recently called out FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem for his comments concerning the governing body. The engineer claimed that Sulayem's comments have attracted hate towards the organization.

In an interview with Motorsport.com, Sulayem was asked whether the FIA received any credit for the changes made to the track limit rules on the Red Bull Ring for the Austrian GP.

The FIA president claimed that the organization would never get any credit for any positive changes made for the sport. He added that people will keep criticizing the FIA and make money out of it.

"No, we will never get the credit. Impossible. We'll only get rubbish. That I know. When you look at it, everybody made money out of the FIA, everyone except the FIA. Everyone gets the credit, except the FIA," Sulayem said.

Many in the motorsport circle reacted to these comments made by Ben Sulayem. One of them was a former Red Bull engineer, Blake Hinsey, who took a jibe at the FIA president saying that the reason the FIA gets hate from everywhere was Sulayem's controversial and questionable comments.

"They only get rubbish because this dude keeps opening his mouth with unhinged or ridiculous stuff," Hinsey wrote on X.

On several occasions, Mohammed Ben Sulayem has made several controversial comments about F1 and its future rules and regulations.

Most recently, he talked about how F1 drivers should be more aware of their language during race weekends. To this, many F1 drivers, most notably Max Verstappen, talked against it. Many in the F1 community also criticized Sulayem for this take.

Red Bull star speaks against FIA president's plan to curb drivers' swearing

Max Verstappen recently criticized the FIA president's take on curbing swears coming from drivers during an F1 race weekend.

Speaking at the Singapore GP press conference, the Red Bull star said that even if F1 curbs swearing, as a whole, to protect kids who are watching the sport, they will anyway pick up swear words when they move forward in the world and grow up.

Hence, he concluded that stopping drivers from swearing in heated on-track moments won't change anything.

"Yeah, excuse me for the language but come on, like, what are we, five-year-olds, six-year-olds? Even if a five-year-old or six-year-old is watching, they will eventually swear anyway, even if the parents want or they will not allow it, when they grow up, they will walk around with their friends and they will be swearing, so this is not changing anything," Verstappen said.

On several occasions, Max Verstappen and several other drivers use swear words, especially during race sessions to express their raw emotions during intense moments.
