Formula 1 drivers are demanding action, not just words, from the FIA regarding potential changes to swearing punishments. The FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem hinted at revising the organization’s stance on driver misconduct, specifically the controversial fines imposed for swearing during public media sessions.

The proposed changes come after uproar from the F1 driving community, with drivers expressing discontent over the penalties, exemplified by the recent case of Hyundai’s Adrien Fourmaux. Ben Sulayem acknowledged the feedback from drivers across the FIA world championships and hinted at relaxing the guidelines in Appendix B.

George Russell, a prominent figure as a director of the Grand Prix Drivers Association, emphasized the importance of tangible actions over mere statements. He highlighted the necessity for concrete changes to be implemented before the words hold any significance.

Russell revealed that there has been a lack of communication between the GPDA and the FIA president since their open letter last November, where they raised concerns about various issues, including fines for swearing. The British driver stressed the need for the governing body to listen to the drivers and apply common sense in such matters for the betterment of the sport.

As the F1 community awaits potential revisions to the swearing punishments, the drivers remain vigilant, emphasizing that real change is the only language they will acknowledge. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story as the FIA navigates the demands of the drivers in the world of Formula 1.
