Not strictly true , we still get a Championship bonus for 3rd place it's just not as much as for finishing 1st obviously. Won't go into figures but figure mentioned is on the low side, even for 3rd.

Throws out the thought that they're using Sergio's sponsor money to make up the difference in total earnings, but get the increased testing time. That being said, not unlike corporations to keep the profits at the top.

Well, this is special: FIA seeks to weaken ethics oversight systems with rule change meaning that the President would take over direct control of ethical accountability. That would be the same system that has been investigating MBS.

It's OK though, because loads of random FIA member automobile clubs from south america, africa, central europe and the middle east have been sending letters of support for him in broken english, calling for the ethics system to be reviewed so it can't be used to attack him and the FIA in the future

So it's definitely all legit, well above board and not even remotely suspect
