Ticktum remains cautious with Ben Sulayem verdict: 'I'll get into trouble if I say more'

The FIA has recently been under a lot of scrutiny, due to the strict behavioural regulations it introduced earlier this season. Both fans and drivers are seemingly unhappy about the way the drivers are being silenced.

At the end of April, Ben Sulayem put out a statement in which he admitted that the FIA would be reevaluating the controversial regulations. He mentioned he'd spoken to drivers from the seven different FIA championships about the matter.

" I haven't spoken to him, no", Ticktum admitted in conversation with GPblog in Monaco. "It's probably a good idea that I don’t (speak to him)," he added with a smile.

Ticktum emphasised that he does understand where the FIA is coming from with these regulations, but that it's simply not working. "I mean, I think I understand the premise of it." He wanted to add something more but decided to stop himself. "No, no. I'm not going to say any more. I'll just get myself into trouble", he laughed. According to The Associated Press, the FIA hopes to finish up the revision of the regulations before the end of this week.
