Formula 1 pilots may drive cars at speeds exceeding 300 kilometers per hour and must accept that they often risk their lives, but they should not curse!
There he was Mohammed Ben Sulayemits president FIAwho believes that the situation with drivers’ swearing has… got out of hand and that is why he warns.
“We have to make the distinction between our sport, motorsport, and rap music. We’re not rappers, you know. How many times a minute do they say the ‘F’ word? We are not like that“, said Sulagem, who, in fact, was himself former rally driver and 14-time Middle East champion.
“I know, I was a driver too. In the heat of the moment, when you feel like another driver pushed you out…When I was driving in the dust I got upset. But we also have to be careful with our behavior. We must be responsible people. And now with technology everything is live on air and everything is recorded.
At the end of the day, we need to consider this: are we limiting what is said in public? Imagine sitting with your kids watching the game, and suddenly someone uses all these dirty words. What will your children or grandchildren say? What would you learn if this is your sport?Ben Sulaghem added.
It should be emphasized, of course, that its television production Formula 1 it audio-masks drivers’ swearing on the radio with their mechanics during races, so no swearing is carried over.
