There are champions that have lost championships because of tyres,engines breakdowns etc at last 500 meters,and didnt spoke like that.
Totally unexpectable speech.
I'm aware these things happen, I was just speculating, I didn't say I know Pirelli didn't like the comments, just said: 'I'm guessing'. As I said before, I completely understand Østberg's frustrations about both the tires and the car, that's it.Quote:

No, no problem with that.Quote:

I understand him, personally i wouldnt say faen and fu.k more than a couple of times, then use some other words in addition:)
He had a fighting weekend with several punctures , several technical problems.
At friday the protectionplate under the back axel get lost, maybe because bad teameffort(?) and the brakepipe was off.
He had trouble with a wishbone and some other stuff at the back on saturday, probably after friday. At saturday he collected all the parts they had left and make it work, i can understand some frustration come to speak when you have saved the game several times and are tired.
It is sports. This happens.
In Norway and sweden we use a lot of this words as a spice in our language, maybe thats the reason we don't react?
My german worker use just ßeiße and then change to scandinavian words, so we have translated some of them to german:)

Regarding uncensored speech.
You can't have a lot of access without the downsides and another thing is that nearly everything is politically correct by now. Saying that a 30 or a 40-year-old can't lose control of their emotions and just vent everything out at the spot, is naive. Only way you can avoid seeing it is not having a camera with a microphone right in their face. But when you want to see more, you need to accept the possible downsides. People are different, reactions are different.
If you want a sport to be popular, you need characters and emotions. If you only have sterilised politically correct interviews, you won't be happy either. You need variety and threatening with penalties for non politically correct speech might as well produce even more closed doors at the stage end.
In all honesty, I liked their reaction and believe it can easily be used in a compilation promoting the sport. If they have issues with the broadcast legislation, then they know the solution. Delay. Or don't broadcast.
