Drivers not going to be giving in-depth interviews at stage end this weekend.
Whether this changes the approach to fines by the FIA is another story.
It is naive to expect immediate change, but there is a need to fight back. During shakedown, some answers were also given in their own language (Evans, Neuville) instead of English.Quote:

Kalle fastest so far, maybe he finds something.
I think it is stupid. Just avoid cursing and things will be ok; world is crazy enough today - to protest for tolerance of bad language is beyond common sense. We already have bad ratings, allowing cursing and bad language will rise popularity ot rally? Wrong focus, folks!Quote:

It's not about allowing swearing. It's a protest against these abnormal fines. When a rider comes from a stage, adrenaline is at its peak and accidentally says a bad word, it has to be understandable. This gagging of riders is not ok, we all want to get genuine emotion from riders after a stage. But we can't do that if they have to think about every word they say. They can't be so damn sensitive that the word fuck immediately scares them away. Kindergarten children already know these words, nothing will happen from these few words. It's a matter of principle.
