The drivers should also influence key decisions in Formula 1. This is what the players are asking for.
Formula 1 is undergoing some changes from year to year, so it is no surprise that drivers want to be not only a part of it but also have a real impact on it. These include the places where the drivers race, especially after the rocket exploded 5 miles from the F1 track during the first training session before the GP in Saudi Arabia.
Among other things, drivers want to influence decisions to feel safe
Formula 1 riders were assured by the organizers that they would be safe and, indeed, they were okay. Still, the sight of smoke after a rocket explosion could be a terrifying experience and frighten the drivers.

About the race here, well, we had a lot of guarantees that of course, we would be safe. I think after this weekend, all the drivers also together, we will speak with F1 and of course also the team bosses to see what’s happening for the future.
Therefore, it is safe to say that drivers want to have any influence on the decision in Formula 1 for their own safety. Moreover, it would be more comfortable as the players are the faces of the sport, which is their justification in this matter. Sky Sports News elaborated on this topic in a statement by one of its reporters.
It’s hard to say if the FIA will agree with the drivers. Everything will be revealed in the coming weeks.
