Original Title: People need to realise that Max cutting the interview short and not participating fully in the post race celebrations is connected to MBS and FIA punishing drivers for accidentally swearing or disagreeing with stewards.
Putting the blame on Max or insulting him for not being baited into discussions when MBS is on the hunt for any reason to punish what he sees as unfit or disloyal behaviour, where any criticism towards the stewards, the FIA or any swearing is penalised.
Max is 100% in the right to give as little as possible in interviews and both he and other drivers should do so until MBS is removed from his position. If MBS and FIA wants full participation they should remove the attempts at driver censorship instead. And fans should refocus their criticism towards MBS instead of slinging insults on drivers that clearly demonstrate that they take issues with how things are currently run.
