FIA President Faces Backlash Over Swearing Ban U-Turn: Drivers Demand Action Now!

Formula 1 drivers are up in arms over the potential swearing ban U-turn proposed by FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem. George Russell, Mercedes driver and GPDA chairman, has issued a stern message to Ben Sulayem, urging him to take immediate action and engage in discussions about the repercussions of cursing on the track.

The FIA’s recent update to Appendix B of the International Sporting Code, introducing fines for drivers using profanity or speaking negatively about the sport, has sparked outrage among competitors. World Rally Championship drivers have even started boycotting interviews to avoid penalties.

Amidst growing discontent, Ben Sulayem hinted at reconsidering the rules but offered no specifics on how it would affect F1 drivers. This lack of clarity has only fueled frustration within the racing community.

When asked about the proposed changes, George Russell expressed cautious optimism but emphasized the need for concrete steps rather than vague promises. He called for tangible improvements to be implemented promptly to address the concerns raised by drivers.

Furthermore, Russell highlighted the evolving role of the GPDA in shaping discussions with the FIA, stressing the importance of professionalism and focusing on core issues such as safety and the overall improvement of the sport.

Former world champion Lewis Hamilton echoed Russell’s sentiments, emphasizing the unity within the GPDA and advocating for a more significant say in decision-making processes. Hamilton called for a collaborative approach that values drivers’ perspectives and ensures their voices are heard in crucial matters affecting the sport.

As tensions mount between drivers and the FIA, the demand for transparency, accountability, and meaningful dialogue continues to grow. The ball is now in Ben Sulayem’s court to address the drivers’ concerns and restore confidence in the governing body’s decision-making processes.
