This absolute nonsense. Max should push this issue by not complying (maybe even add a little "fuck yous" in the message). What are they going to do? Whatever the next step would be, just ignore and do not comply.

Force the hand of the FIA to show them for what they are : idiots gatekeeping nonsense. This does nothing for the sport and it is a non-issue.

Some part of me feels this is a consequence of an American company owning F1 now and implementing these BS actions that seem to be normal in US sports. I was afraid that this mentality would come to F1 and here we are...

It's the same. Liberty is driven by money and it is scared advertisers will take offense and consequentially less money be generated because of it. MBS is cognizant of this concern and started to act as he also is driven by financial motives.

You could consider Liberty and MBS to be in the same camp on this one. And it is all about financials, not morals.
