FIA launches investigation into karting driver after podium salute
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The FIA has confirmed that it has launched an investigation into 15-year-old karting racer Artem Severiukhin after he performed a salute during a podium ceremony last weekend.

Severiukhin is a Russian driver but is currently racing under an Italian licence. 

Following his victory at the OK FIA Karting European Championship in Portimao, Severiukhin beat his chest twice before extending his arm outwards.

The salute is most closely associated with the Nazi movement, while it has also been suggested that he could have been performing the Roman salute of Italy.

    This from a country where if you tied their arms behind back they would be struck dumb ?
    And the virtual signaling Fia are clearly insane .
    Perhaps they think we have short memories that not too long ago had the son of an actual Fascist the Fia president and caught in a sex scandal dressed as an actual Nazi.
