United States Grand Prix: Formula 1 drivers showed their discontent and dismay after the FIA increased the maximum fines to 1m Euros (£873,000) ahead of this weekend’s United States Grand Prix.

The governing body of motorsports, the FIA said on Thursday it was quadrupling the maximum fine stewards can impose from 250,000 euros, stating the amount had been static for the last 12 years and "does not reflect the current needs of motorsports".

"In October 2022, the Council of the European Union stressed the need to prevent and counter the use of pyrotechnics at sports venues," read the FIA statement.
