It took some time, but the FIA finally took action after the controversial statements of Dr. Helmut Marko about Sergio Perez.
In recent days there has been a lot of fuss about Helmut Marko’s statements. He insinuated that Sergio Perez’s mixed performances may have been caused by his ‘origin’ from South America. First and foremost, Sergio Perez is from Mexico, which is in ‘North America’, and they also have a ‘racist side’.
Some called for Helmut Marko to be fired and yesterday Lewis Hamilton was also very critical of the way Red Bull responded to Helmut Marko’s statements, or rather how Red Bull actually did not respond (Lewis Hamilton lashes out at Red Bull: Normally there will be a dismissal or something, now there will be an apology and we will move on). It also remained quiet from F1 and the FIA, but today it was announced that the FIA is taking action after all.
The FIA has officially confirmed that it has given Helmut Marko an official warning regarding his statements about Sergio Perez.
“We can confirm that Helmut Marko has been given a written warning and advised of his responsibilities as a public figure in motorsport and that he must act in line with the FIA Code of Ethics,” the statement said. the FIA.
