    Ben Sulayem expecting athletes not to curse in a sport is almost as out of touch of him thinking rap music is the one genre of music with vulgarities. To be fair, Max had the incident due to a press conference but I fully expect F1 to regulate language in team radios if they begin pushing on this clampdown. Never leave a dollar unturned when it comes to the FIA and F1, no matter what it means to the sport. F1 is a business first, entertainment second and sport last.

    Max is Dutch and as a fellow Dutchman I have to say that we use a lot of English swear words in Dutch because they don’t sound as rude (to us!) as the Dutch equivalent.
    Also on Dutch radio and TV swearing is never beeped out nor will any TV professional ever apologise for the swear words used by a guest.
    Swearing isn’t considered good taste but we leave it at that.
    Max could and perhaps should learn not to swear but I think we should keep in mind that when drivers are racing they are full of adrenaline and I don’t think we should judge them for using ‘colourful language’ at those times).

    Vettel used to swear in interviews and on the radio. A lot. It's actually very common with people who have English as a second (third, fourth...) language. I've been studying linguistics for a long time, and I have heard (especially Germanic peoples) many of them swear as part of their conversation. I assume that oftentimes they don't realise when a particular word is considered to be more offensive than they thought it was.
    Instead of bleeping - assuming they want the audience to presume that no one swears - they they should just cut the word out. It would - should - be less obvious what they are saying.

    Like Lando said, in the modern world of social media where you can virtually say anything, if the FIA says the drivers have to stop swearing, I believe that’s just going to make the comments over the radio “fake” and FAR less entertaining. As an American race fan, I say, let them say what they want when the helmet is on. It creates more excitement, talking points, etc. Plus, there’s a delay, so it’s not hard for the FIA/broadcast to bleep it out. With that said, when they’re out of the car and in a press conference, they should control their wording. That’s expected. But PLEASE DON’T TAME THINGS DOWN WHEN THE HELMET IS ON! Trust me, they will lose a lot of the fan base that is growing this sport in America and other big markets.

Most would actually drive for free. Big bucks for big PR. They know they are in the public eye. Would you want a dentist that swears a lot? The whole teams are role models while in the paddock. Team fines! Drivers get a 1 race ban. And reserve drivers suddenly become 10X more important! haha Bonus: They could stop delaying team radio messages by 5 seconds. We always hear Box Box after the driver has entered the pit lane or that a car is 2 secs behind just as it's passing.

    As youngsters look up to these drivers and wish the opportunity to emulate them, YES!, FIA should manage cursing by them.
    Thats part of the rules of racing - full stop. MV has always shown a lack of maturity on and off track (Ocon incident). This is no different, hes being the petulant little boy his father (onus is his) brought him up to be. Play by the rules or get out. Any adult that can't control their emotions and speech has not progressed from childhood and lacks education or lacks vocabulary to express themselves without swearing. The fact that he is an outstandingly fast driver has nothing to do with this argument. Duels & cowhands killing each other over small grievances disappeared because society progressed beyond base crass behavior.
