 max verstappen hits out at fia after winning chaotic f1australian 

After the Australian Grand Prix was stopped three times due to incidents on the track, Max Verstappen was at the forefront of a wave of driver criticism of the decision-making. The world champion condemned it as a disaster and blamed the regulatory organization, the FIA.

Although Verstappen put on a strong performance to win in Melbourne, it was only after three red-flag stops, chaos and confusion, and a finish behind the safety car. With four laps remaining, there was a second red flag, which resulted in a standing restart from which there were numerous incidents, resulting in another stoppage and an additional 30-minute delay.

The race at the finish was a bit of a mess, but I'm still thrilled to have won, he added. "I just didn't get the need for a red flag. A number of drivers were perplexed by it. We wouldn't have had all of these shunts and then a regular finish if we had a safety car and then a standard rolling start. As a result, they initiated the issues. We'll speak about it; I believe that many motorists were perplexed as to why a red flag was required. We will speak in Baku.

The use of stoppages, which close the field and are followed by spectacular standing starts, was also questioned as to whether they were just being done so to enhance the spectacle, after the second restart, there had been crashes involving six drivers.


Lando Norris from McLaren stated, "Nothing against them, but the decision-makers don't know what's going on inside the car. "It seems like the whole purpose of red-flagging was to put on a show. Because [the FIA] just wants to spice up the show, someone does something dumb at turn one, locks up, and your race is done.


George Russell, a Mercedes driver who overtook Verstappen at the start but found himself at a disadvantage at the first red light, was similarly critical of the FIA.


He declared, "I believed the red flag was completely unnecessary." "At the moment, I'm not really sure what's happening with some of the decisions. We're all attempting to cooperate,That seems to be an issue, but we're working with the FIA to make improvements.
