Asked specifically about the GPDA’s calls, Ben Sulayem said: “None of their business. Sorry.

“This is our business,” he said when asked about recent events. “We'll do whatever is good for the FIA. So it's really none of people's business to interfere in ours. It's the results that we produce.”

“Do we have to tell them? When something in the teams changes, do they tell us? No, they don't. Nobody has to. We have the rules, we follow our rules. We don't follow someone else's rule. Simple as this.”

“I mean, with the media, with all respect, why do I have to answer everything?” he said. “I have a responsibility towards my members and towards the sport.

Arrogant piece of shit needs to be humbled badly, ideally moments before being shoved out the door. He thinks he's untouchable and unaccountable.
