FIA bans journalist for criticizing Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc

The FIA revoked Daily Mail journalist Jonathan McEvoy’s media credentials after an opinion column criticized Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc. The newspaper said Friday it would boycott the final three Formula One races of 2026—Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi—in protest. The FIA said the column fell short of professional standards and that its rules allow it to withdraw credentials; the Daily Mail has demanded McEvoy’s reinstatement.
