FIA accused of making Russian drivers sign ‘illegal' document

Russian oligarch Boris Rotenberg has accused the FIA of making Russian drivers sign an 'illegal' document to continue racing in championships governed by them, following the ignition of the conflict in Eastern Europe. Rotenberg is one of the most influential motorsport figures in Russia and is the man behind the very successful SMP Racing programme, a side which the likes of Jenson Button and Stoffel Vandoorne have driven for. SMP Racing have also been victorious previously at the Le Mans 24 Hours, in both the LMP2 and LMGTE Am categories. Their progress has been halted since 2022 though, similar to ex-F1 driver Nikita Mazepin. Want to work in Formula 1? Browse the latest F1 job vacancies...
