You are correct. However nowadays when we say "they can't" do something because of the law, that no longer has meaning. If you think 'they can't', know that they will anyway. They don't care. Yes, there are a ton of law suits to try to stop them, but none of them are settled yet. Even if there is a final ruling against the idiots, Felon47 will write another executive order giving him the power. Gotta keep speaking out against this!

I actually laughed at the ridiculousness of that line. If it stays in the final edit, I expect there will be a story explanation for it - either why the character says it or resulting consequences. With Louis Hamilton as an Executive Producer, I can't imagine he would approve of portraying the sport as 'unsafe' as a matter of strategy.
I did love the quick shot of Guenther Steiner on the pit wall though.
