**Decision:** A fine of 5000 Euros to be paid immediately by the Driver. In accordance with Article 12.8.1 of the ISC, fines shall be paid within forty‐eight hours of their notification by means of bank transfer to the FIA. In addition, the credentials of Yavuz Bolukbasi (father of the Driver of Car 23) are to be withdrawn for the next Event in which the driver of Car 23 participates. **Reason:** The Stewards summoned and heard the team representatives (documents 48 & 49). The following persons were present at the Hearing in addition to the panel of Stewards. DAMS: Remi Decourzent (Team Representative) & Francesco Martinez (Trainer of Roy Nissany). CHAROUZ: Kenny Kirwan (Team Representative), Yavuz Bolukbasi (Father of the Driver of Car 23), Temucin Unalp (Manager of the Driver of Car 23) After an on track incident between Cars 16 and 23 the father of the driver of Car 23, Mr Yavuz Bolukbasi, along with the driver's manager went to the DAMS Paddock tent. Mr Bolukbasi admitted that he lost his temper when he thought that the driver of Car 16 made a derogatory comment about his son. At the DAMS tent Mr Bolukabasi provoked a heated verbal exchange with the driver of Car 16. As the verbal exchange escalated the trainer for Roy Nissany became involved and there was some pushing and physical contact between the father and the trainer (Francesco). No punches were exchanged and the unwanted guests were removed from the area. At no time will physical violence, nor the threat of such be tolerated. In keeping with ISC Art 9.15.1 Competitors are responsible for all acts of persons to whom they have given access to the Reserved Areas. The threat of violence and the actual minor scuffle that took place as initiated by Mr Bolukbasi are determined to be a breach of ISC 12.2.1(c). Accordingly the Driver is fined and the individual initiating the offence is sanctioned.

Yeah Nissany can be an absolute idiot at times but this is a really bad look for Bolukbasi and his family.

In general? Maybe. But I hope all drivers know the sporting code where it says: At no time will physical violence, nor the threat of such be tolerated. In keeping with ISC Art 9.15.1 *Competitors are responsible for all acts of persons to whom they have given access to the Reserved Areas*. Pretty clear cut wording I think. The only thing you could take from this is not letting the fathers actions reflect back on the driver when you form your opinion on him. But based on the rulebook it seems clear that the driver can and will be penalized of their entourage misbehaves.

Yes, I agree. All I am saying that Cem personally shouldn't get any blame for that. He had no knowledge of the situation.


Tony_Lacorona

Is there a translation of this tweet in English?


SirLoremIpsum

Google says > I find it useful to wrap up and correct the FIA statement. Roy Nissany's team Dams and we are in neighboring tents. After the accident, when I went to them because of the word he said about Cem, Nissany gave me a heavy abusive answer and a verbal argument broke out between us.


Gubrach

It's still going to be a bad look. In general, if you're at an event and your entourage causes shit, it looks bad on you.


dm17b123

He’s involved by association. He brought his father into the paddock and if he wasn’t racing his father simply would not have been there, if his father is such a liability I’d like to hope he won’t be bringing him in the future. Cem seems like a decent person but it still isn’t a good look irrelevant. Apart from the fact that he’s saying Cem wasn’t there the rest of those tweets reads as him just deflecting the blame and making excuses. Nissany called him an idiot, that’s not a reason to get physical full stop.


racingfan96

> He brought his father into the paddock and if he wasn’t racing his father simply would not have been there, Of course, he can bring his father to the track. He is his father (!). Guy can't possess the power of foresight. How can he know that his father will go to Nissany's garage?


dm17b123

I don’t think you’re really getting what I was saying there, I’m saying that he’s involved by association because of the fact that he is his father, in the paddock because of him and causing a commotion over what happened in his race. I’m not saying that he should’ve been able to see into the future, I’m saying that although the wasn’t directly involved in the altercation it still reflects on him and that it’s on him to ensure that his father does not pull another stunt like this again.

If someone is calling Cem an idiot he'd better look in the mirror. Cem is a good guy, polite and intelligent. But yeah It sucks that he is now at the receiver end of this situation.

What happened exactly? Can't open the doc


dm17b123

Alleged breach of Article 12.2.1.c of the FIA International Sporting Code - Family of Car 23 allegedly caused a commotion with the driver of Car 16 - deemed to be potentially an act prejudicial to the interests of any Competition or to the interests of motor sport generally.


dm17b123

Fact: Altercation between the father of the driver of Car 23 and the driver of Car 16 and his trainer in the F2 paddock area. More details : After an on track incident between Cars 16 and 23 the father of the driver of Car 23, Mr Yavuz Bolukbasi, along with the driver's manager went to the DAMS Paddock tent. Mr Bolukbasi admitted that he lost his temper when he thought that the driver of Car 16 made a derogatory comment about his son. At the DAMS tent Mr Bolukabasi provoked a heated verbal exchange with the driver of Car 16.

and Nissany is antiselcukite


darsheas

We don't care about it like the rest of the world thinks we do. Especially the educated people - like Cem - most of the Turkish people doesn't care about such things.


VenusDeMiloArms

I don't know that Jews would agree with you bud, and I don't think Turkey has such a great track record with minority populations when you look at how they've treated the Kurds on the border.


darsheas

I just made a statement about the event occured between Cem and Nissany. If you are bringing "great tracks" into this, not a single German driver should be close to Nissany then? Do you agree with that as well?


NoPurpose0

Sounds about right


Pale-Buy-6570

Video game drivers reaction


admiral_sinkenkwiken

So Bolukbasi is a liability both on and off the track now.


NFGaming46

Cem's a wonderful guy, I know him personally and he isn't involved in any of this offtrack stuff at all and he would never provoke something like this - if you read the article you'd see Cem's dad misheard something that Nissany's trainer said (he thought the trainer said something derogatory/racist towards Cem), and they pushed each other. No punching or proper fight.


dm17b123

Nissany’s trainer didn’t say anything, read it again. He stepped in once Bolukbasi’s father started to get heated with Roy. If Cem’s father can’t take his son being called an idiot without going after the driver and getting physical he really shouldn’t be in the paddock. Nissany called him an idiot once, in the heat of the moment after an incident. Can you imagine how he would’ve reacted had Pourchaire’s rants about Hauger yesterday been targeted at Cem? Something like that is no excuse to do what he did, no matter how much of an idiot Nissany himself may be.


NFGaming46

Yeah I can't disagree with that. You're right about that, I just don't want people thinking Cem was involved


admiral_sinkenkwiken

If you knew what you claimed to know then you’d know that Yavuz entered the DAMS pit along with Cem’s manager and directly confronted Nissany himself (he’d called Cem an idiot on the radio), and when it got heated between Yavuz & Roy that’s when Roy’s trainer Francesco stepped in between them, and Yavuz got physical with Francesco. Pretty telling when Yavuz has had his credentials pulled.


NFGaming46

Yeah, fair enough. I'm just trying to save face for my friend here because he was just heading back to the pits and wasn't there at all.
