Ramsay's Mic Cut at FIA Swearing Rule Debate

During the 2025 F1 season launch event in London, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay voiced his opposition to the FIA's new rules penalizing drivers for swearing, before having his microphone cut due to his own use of profanity. The FIA's controversial guidelines impose fines and potential bans for repeated offenses of inappropriate language, aiming to maintain a family-friendly image. This move has sparked backlash from drivers and fans, including Max Verstappen, who have criticized the rules as too harsh. Recently, rally driver Adrien Fourmaux became one of the first to be fined under the new rules, highlighting the stewards' strict enforcement. Despite criticism, the FIA maintains that the rules are intended to promote sportsmanship and propriety in motorsport.
