This is a real quote lmao

theres another fun quote in there from the fia president stating that the houthis are operating according to the rules of war and only attacking legitimate targets

quote:

Ben Sulayem said: “We had a meeting with high level security officials, we had meetings with the team principals, we had meetings with the drivers.

“Who are they targeting? They are targeting the oil company, not the civilian and not, of course, the event.

Yeah an attack on a military target isn’t really a terrorist attack horner.

There are near famine conditions in Yemen, and the Saudis launched a brutal war of aggression, just like Putin did.

who cares about the drivers though. this is about not giving in to terrorism


Wolff’s Red Bull counterpart Christian Horner said not going ahead with the race would be tantamount to giving in to terrorism.

“The sport has to stand together collectively. Any act of terrorism cannot be condoned, and sport shouldn’t be bullied into a position that…a situation like that just isn’t acceptable,” said Horner.

“Stefano and the president, they’re dealing with it, there’s been all the assurances from the organisers, and we’ll be going racing.”

Having ballistic missiles raining down could really spice things up for the teams. Maybe the McLaren or Aston cars will excel at blast resistance or jumping over craters in the track.

Nine of the team principals don't want to race but Horner is trying to change the meaning of the word "conflict" in a way that means the results from Spa 2021 are applied to this weekend.

Yeah but the USA and UK are providing weapons to the F1 host country that's waging the war of aggression, not the country being attacked by the F1 host country, so there's no sanctions or public outcry to force the FIA to pretend to have morals.
