[WRC] Rally Sweden 2025

Fourmaux got 10k euro fine for saying ,,we fked up yesterday'' at the end of PS today.
20k waiting in case of another issues in 12 months.


no words anymore about what bs that fia is doing..

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.

Size and form of fine is different matter, but to set some rules on this is correct. If you can not express your self publicly without swearing then, may be, time read some book.

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..

Kids don't see or hear anything worse from fikfok or any other ocialmedia platform.. and they can easily be cats or unicorns and all fine . Rallying and any other motorsport is very intense and if somronr puts the microphone up to the face at 200bpm, then it's pure emotion and real life.
I'm sure that most kids hear 10 times worse at home than some f word from WRC or F1 live

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.

Nobody accepts it in other sports either. As I understand it too it's a new enforceable regulation for this year so no point in saying somebody else got away with it last year. Also wondering how the FIA president can improve motorsport if it's not by taking action.

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.

I actually have no issues with the consequence for swearing in press conferences and such, environments that are calm and collected. But don't expect it to be 100% clean when people are amped up.

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…

Which tells more about Tanak, Ogier or your character than you might realise.
