GDPA serves an importance purpose in Formula 1. It helps the Formula 1 drivers voice their opinions in a collective manner. Representing the grid, GDPA is more than an association. It is the mediator and resolving force between F1 drivers and FIA.<\/p><p>George Russell and Carlos Sainz are the drivers leading GDPA in 2025. They are the only active drivers of the association. Former F1 driver Alexander Wurz, as well as legal representative Anastasia Fowle work with Russell and Sainz to ensure the GDPA functions perfectly. Russell has been a part of the GDPA since 2021. He was the only active driver to lead the association after Sebastian Vettel&rsquo;s decision. As a GDPA member, Russell has been a strong voice standing up for the drivers.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">George Russell Clarifies GDPA Stance Regarding FIA and His Thirst for Improvements in Formula 1<\/h2><p>Russell is not the one to back down in face of adversity. Often, the Briton had strongly spoken up against accusations or while representing the GDPA.
