Mercedes driver George Russell revealed that he and the other drivers had not heard from the FIA after the GPDA's first official statement. Russell, also the president of the Grand Prix Drivers Association, wrote a letter to the governing body regarding their recent decisions and stances on topics like swearing.
In the letter that was shared on their official Instagram account, the GPDA asked for transparency in the decisions while also pointing fingers at FIA President Muhammed Ben Sulayem and his regime.
However, in the pre-race press conference ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, George Russell updated that he had not heard from the FIA regarding the letter, saying:
"No. Not at the moment, which I'm a little bit surprised about, to be fair. But maybe there'll be something to come. Who knows?"
