The FIA is set to implement stricter penalties for drivers who use offensive or inappropriate language, including substantial fines, one-month driving bans, and championship points deductions.
You couldn’t make it up, could you? After last season’s hoo-ha over fruity language in Formula 1 , the FIA is set to clamp down on words it doesn’t like with a combination of huge fines, one-month driver bans, and the threat of a championship points deduction.
The standard fine is €10,000, but as F1 is a top-tier racing category, everything is multiplied by four, meaning F1 drivers will be punished by the stewards to the tune of €40,000 . And that’s just for their first offense.Before even joining the grid, Audi has sold off a ‘significant’ portion of its F1 team
Makes you wonder what kind of verbal carnage Max Verstappen would have to unleash to actually endanger his title chances...You’ll remember, of course, that this all started with the Dutchman last year, when the then three-time champ swore in an FIA press conference in the buildup to the Singapore Grand Prix.
Anyway, Verstappen was ordered to “accomplish some work of public interest”, and when Charles Leclerc let an f-bomb slip at the Sao Paulo GP a few weeks later, that prompted the GPDA – the group that represents all the drivers – to issue a public letter urging Ben Sulayem to “consider his own tone” and treat the drivers like adults.
