Here's what Becs has to say about it;

100% right and agree with Becs , and seeing the fia answer, based on atleast that dirtfish article we will have a pretty boring kenya drivers comment wise.

It would be cool if all the drivers answered for all the questions during kenia with the same frase, something like "All is absolutely f....antastic". And by the end of a rally, someone, for example Fourmaux, answering for a Becks question on why everyone repeating the same frase, he would answer something like "Tell Ben - 4 word's are enough".

I think drivers are free to say whatever they want under the circumstances we talk about (the finish line of the stages). And WHAT they say tells a lot of their personalities. For good or for bad...

You can hear him swearing, in the second episode of More than Machine, at the moment where we see the subtitle “Adrien speaks in French”:

It's not Adrien and it is not French at all =) Made a lot of fun for Russian fans.

Need to save this video before some FIA snowflake takes this down :D Had a good laugh :D

Its quite obvious that the drivers wont answer any question the next rallies.
Sad for the broadcast, but its necessary.

Its lots of problems in wrc, rhis is not one of them. Of course, its different levels, but "i f@cked up" is not swearing in my opinion.
But, i'm not a religios d@rk eighter.

The correlation between religious people and not swearing is not present in every country. I actually thought it was true only in anglosaxon countries, but I guess not. Here in Italy there's no such thing as "Christians don't swear"

It's not about religion, it's about being gentlemanly and having respect. This is not being demonstrated as understood by many, perhaps because of cultures.

To me, at my age and the way I was brought up, being told to "grow up" or "accept it" is like hearing that the drivers could carry knives and stab the stage end reporters, or run them over like it's a Christmas market - because these are cultural shifts accepted by Europeans these days. No, no, no.

Yes, in norway the same, even my familiy-friend that are a priest swearing.

Its different types of religious people, normal people with a healty wiew on life, and the other type that tries to push theire wiews and religion on us others.

Personaly i'm not religios, but the swearing-gate has a touch of the later over it.

Of course, un-sivilized swearing is unnecessery in every setting, but some colourful language in normal manner is a part of both the sport and normal peoples life.

Irritated? Shocked? That was my intention. If you thought that was an invitation to debate politics it's not that you don't understand my point, it's that you didn't understand my post.

Children viewing must also be an aspect of the issue. You dont want your kids to think casually saying "I f**** up", is normal. In the circumstances, talking about something that happened an hour earlier, Fourmaux should've just said I messed up.

Maybe not linked to this conversation completely but its here anyway;

Are you saying that youth did not swear like it's nothing abnormal in the past?

Well, children do like their parents and idols do. They have big ears and learn from them. Also swearing. "I messed up" should´ve been much better to speak or phrase.

The only cultural shifts europeans are currently accepting is the dismantlement of the social state and time travel to the 1930s.

Further comments here please...

I´m against swearing, however when the world around you like musicians, sportsmen using the f-word, you can´t punish like FIA done. It´s not proportional to the circumstances.

FIA should apologize and forget all they messed up.

FIA is mastering the "revert their stupid ideas", like the electric WTCC series, hybrids and weird point systems in WRC, full electric and weird qualifying formats in WorldRX, taking over Extreme just to kinda kill it fwith that Hydrogen idea...
This ban on "swearing words" gotta be the next, for sure.

FIA = Fuc***g Idiots Association ��

Top rally driver’s protest ‘has promoted Welsh language worldwide’... :D

https://nation.cymru/news/top-rally-...age-worldwide/

The FIA are meeting with the Driver's this week:

https://www.autosport.com/wrc/news/w...now-/10706968/

fia and drivers came to some sort of agreement..

https://www.rallit.fi/tulihan-se-sie...kel-lajillemme

- swear words uttered in interviews given after special tests will no longer be punishable if they are not intended to offend anyone.

- A similar, more flexible approach is also used for team radio communications and for driver and co-driver communication during special stages

- Controlled areas include, for example, the media areas arranged before maintenance breaks, where drivers give interviews to journalists.

It is also a good idea to keep swear words to a minimum in other press conferences

hahahaha i never knew wales had its own language! i found it very interesting, gotta be honest.
even went on checking with an irish mate that also speaks a 'weird' (sorry haha) local language. i found these stuff so fascinating. idk why
HOWEVER.... “It’s been estimated that a billion motorsports fans round the world tune into Safari Rally Kenya"

YEAH, sure. A BILLION. Probably 300 million of these are the regular world rallycross viewers haha according to FIA trying to selling the championship rights.
