FIA has been under immense pressure after the passing away of Dilano Van ‘t Hoff at Spa Francorchamps. Amid all the pressure of not stopping the FRECA race in Belgium on time to prevent the accident, FIA has green-flagged Brad Pitt’s dangerous outing despite Lewis Hamilton’s warnings. Fans are furious and take to social media to unleash at the Hollywood star. What did the FIA green flag? What are the fans saying?
FIA banned the tire blankets for wet tires starting in 2023. However, a plan to ban tire blankets for slick tires was also introduced to the teams. Final voting with the teams will take place after this weekend’s British GP. Lewis Hamilton has already warned FIA about the dangers that come with banning the blankets suggesting “it’s dangerous” and will cause an incident at some point in time.
