Drivers using the F-word and the problems around

[Rallyest]

This whole saga about using swear words started from an episode at an F1 press conference and the FIA in their wisdom just tarred everyone the same as they haven't an ounce of common sense.

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...

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.

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

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.

I'm interested to know why you self-censored the not-swearing.
