Actually, I agree to on taking measures on the cursing in public and using profanities. We have enough general degradation and promotion of stupidity in society around us, why would we accept using swearing words publicly by our heroes, watched by millions, including children.Quote:

What a joke...We are less than 2 years away from a crucial rule change for the future of Rallying and instead of focusing all efforts on attracting as many entries as possible,FIA spends its time policing TV broadcasts...
Yes, his words were world-changing..Quote:

I'm sure that most kids hear 10 times worse at home than some f word from WRC or F1 live :D :D
but okay, I won't speak further about this.. turn too political.
I completely agree. If you don't mind swearing, good for you. If you don't understand how it's offensive to others, bad for you, and you don't *need* to use it then do you.Quote:

If using bad language was all we had to worry about in the world today it would be a lot safer place. Yes there needs to be some form of control and regulation but going on this today we could be going back to very cold interviews at stage ends again, less said easier mended, or cheaper in the FIA's case.
So now we get the situation that everyone goes full Tänak on every interview...
I would genuinely prefer if everyone went full on Ogier.Quote:

Heck, even the NASCAR xFinity broadcast yesterday picked up swearing from the winning team. No mention of it at all.
Also, €10,000 fine??? These are rally drivers we’re talking about not F1..but guess it’s all about this being a warning to all drivers…Quote:
