Juncadella claims that the FIA is showing 'double standards' in relation to Hamilton.
"Dani Juncadella believes Lewis Hamilton should have faced consequences for giving Franco Colapinto the middle finger during the Miami GP. The Spaniard, who works as an Aston Martin simulator driver and is a close acquaintance of Max Verstappen, criticized the FIA for its inconsistency, noting the lack of punishment for Hamilton’s gesture in the cockpit.
Juncadella expressed his thoughts on X, stating, ‘The FIA’s double standard never ceases to amaze.’ He added, ‘Impose a 2,000 euro fine on him like they did to me.’ Juncadella, 35, was referring to his own penalty during the Bahrain WEC round last November, where he received a fine for making an inappropriate gesture during a GT3 race—a situation that faced backlash in light of the FIA's crackdown on unsportsmanlike conduct and foul language among drivers.
This issue remains particularly sensitive for Verstappen, who has also faced significant penalties from the FIA for using offensive language. Meanwhile, Juncadella is set to team up with Verstappen at the upcoming Nurburgring 24 Hours next weekend, driving a Mercedes-AMG GT3. Joining them will be Jules Gounon, the son of former Formula 1 driver Jean-Marc Gounon, and Lucas Auer, the nephew of Ferrari icon Gerhard Berger."
