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.

Nope, the broadcaster just issues a (sometimes tongue in cheek) apology and everything carries on.
The US broadcasters risk breach of advertising contracts and losing money over it.
The UK broadcasters will get a small fine if they don't apologise and do it regularly.
And the public in the UK generally don't care.
