Drivers using the F-word and the problems around

[Mary Mary]

racing used to be something for men. something exciting, something dangerous. someone swearing was the least bad thing that could happen.

I don't know what happened? when did the pussy's come in to complain about everything?

Racing, and motorsport, used to be for gentlemen who could string a sentence that was going on public record without "filler".

Has Gryazin ever gone on a swearing rant in Russian?

Well, yes, he swears - these debriefings with the co-driver after each special stage sometimes contain swear words.

Usually these words are not negative or intended to insult someone, they are used purely to relieve an emotionally intense atmosphere. You can hear it from other drivers too, I guess.

[Rallyper]

Yes, that's true. For example, I don't care when some English driver says f...ck or sh...t, but if Kajto started saying "kurwa" (Polish curse) in his stage-end interviews I would be shocked

Or Finnish drivers saying vi**u...

Everyone swears. There's no question about that. My question was more about if there's ever been a moment in WRC/ERC, where he has had a rant using the very diverse swearing vocabulary of Russian language.

Nothing personal against him or the language.

Yes, and more than once =) Never in an interview, though.

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.

It's good that FIA and others don't understand it, otherwise they might have gotten an heart attack

I thought swearing in just about any language (that I recognize, anyway) was covered with a beep in WRC programming.

When I worked in Dublin it felt as if that word was required to be in every sentence.
