He did it to get back at Force India for talking crap about their collab with Ferrari, even claiming they shouldnt be allowed to enter F1 as a stand alone constructor. But it also was leverage to get the FIA to pay Haas back their $20mil entry a year early (normally not paid back until after the 2nd year). They took back their veto allowing Force India to get their money about two weeks after first blocking the payment once the FIA agreed.
