On a more serious note, Steiner was surprised by the FIA’s decision, stating, “Is it needed? I mean, 250,000, I think it’s Euros, it’s quite a lot of money in my world, you know. There are people, drivers, who make a lot of money out there, and all that. But obviously, it’s earned, it’s not given for free.”
He also suggested that there should be transparency about where the fined money goes and that drivers should have a say in it, possibly directing it to a charity they support.
