FIA Criticizes Drivers for Swearing on Radio
News summary

FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem has voiced strong disapproval of the increasing use of expletive language by Formula 1 drivers during broadcasts, emphasizing that motorsport should be distinct from rap culture. He highlighted the need for drivers to exhibit professionalism and responsibility, especially since their comments are broadcast live and can influence viewers, including children. Recent reprimands issued to team principals for swearing have intensified scrutiny on the language used in driver communications. Ben Sulayem acknowledged the high-pressure nature of racing but insisted that drivers should control their reactions to uphold the sport's image. He reiterated that excessive swearing does not align with the values of Formula 1 and called for a more respectful conduct that reflects positively on the sport. The FIA is now implementing stricter regulations to minimize the use of inappropriate language in team radio communications.
