Peter Windsor: They Can't Punish Verstappen For Being A Racing Driver!

[@Cameron-Cc]

Were FIA right to punish Max?

[@johanfeenstra8778]

No. and it is not about cursing. It is all about control of the drivers. First he try to attack Hamilton about jewellery than jaywalking the track and now Max.

[@Slipstream_merchant]

No, what happened to free speech? If people are offended, that’s their problem.

[@ask.repeat]

No. The drivers are a huge part of F1’s success. Let them be real. You lose some of that connection the moment someone starts reciting their media training. Many other sports have rules around what players can say and I challenge you to watch a 30m press conference from any of them. I’ve yet to see a child explode from hearing how the rest of humanity speaks.

[@ddsvjwz]

No. Also, Peter makes a good point. English is not his native language. As a native Dutch speaker I do think Max would also use a swear word in Dutch. This is just how he expresses himself. In the Netherlands this is not a problem.

[@neilpateldpt]

Max is in my opinion what you want a racing driver to be. He’s not fake he doesn’t self censor and you know he’s giving you his genuine self when you hear from him. So many drivers put on a fake persona for the public and that makes me 😷.

[@LourensRolograaf]

Peter and Cameron may not realize this, but this stance against broadcasting swearing words is typical for English speaking countries, like British and American. Other countries like the one Max is representing do not have any such rules on television and contrary find it rather hypocritical these much used words in daily live are not allowed.

[@snappr2523]

I don't care where MAX comes from. There have to be some rules in place to keep things under control. I understand a word here or there in the heat of battle.

I think a less noticed point in this dicussion about unapropiated language is the Anglo-Saxon obsession about these swear words.

In the Netherlands swearing words on tv are not beeped or cut out.

The press conference isn't broadcast live. It's beyond silly to punish Max for this. Also, if we're concerned about what the kids will see, maybe we shouldn't promote crypto gambling (ie Stake)?

[@Zappa616]

It does seem contradictory, doesn’t it? "Drive to Survive" thrives on the high drama, intensity, and raw emotions that make Formula 1 so exciting, yet there's pressure on the live broadcast to sanitize the sport for a broader audience. The swearing and outbursts, while not always family-friendly, are often a natural part of such a high-pressure environment. By making Formula 1 broadcasts more PG-13 and putting the onus on parents to manage what their children watch, the FIA could allow for a more authentic depiction of the sport. If kids can access the unfiltered intensity on Netflix without regulation, it does raise the question of why the live broadcast must be held to different standards. It’s a tough balance between keeping the sport accessible and protecting its authentic portrayal, especially when platforms like Netflix seem to highlight the very rawness that’s being censored elsewhere.

Which didn’t happen in Hungary or Monza

[@okidoki878]

I find it a shame that they think there culture is better than the Dutch. And the kids use that words less than kids from the UK and USA.

Max would make a fantastic banger racer!

[@billywhizz6613]

Max as spoken English from being a child he knows very well what it means and the context he's using it in, he's not a kid so Peter stop using this as an excuse, it isn't. Yuki had an excuse in his early days but has eased off. Nevertheless, if people received community service in civil cases for swearing billions of people would be in court, a ridiculous denial to free speech. Punishing the driver of his standing is ridiculous & FIA is bringing itself into disrepute

[@stonedage5087]

Regarding the swear-gate, it's obviously a personal thing that is going on between max and somebody else, and it has been brewing for quite some time, probably more specifically after his rant throughout the hungarian gp, me assuming. Its rather pathetic and kinda childish whats going on, and both parties are at fault at the moment, and its about time an adult enters the room and solve whatever this is.

[@Flamestryke-TV]

Why the heck would you every censor a driver speaking during a conference. They bleep out the swearing. Sky does this right during the End of race driver cool down room. If one of the drivers swears, sky apologizes for any colorful language. This is sufficient. Expecting a human being who is passionate in the heat of the moment not to swear is frankly stupid. Its wearing emotions on your sleeve. A lot of high intensity people do that. Max should not have been sanctioned for swearing. Community service by the FIA, If i was max I would skip all the conferences. Hell with the fines. Or do what he is doing "No comment" that sticks it too them.

Not so sure Red Bull needs Perez's 40 million.

[@marisalombardi385]

He MUST exercise self-control...

[@ruudkooijman819]

Don't impose your culture on others. We like freedom of speech.

[@marisalombardi385]

Freedom of speech doesn't mean what you think it means...

[@ruudkooijman819]

@marisalombardi385 yes it does. I know the UK doesn't really has freedom of speech but we do

[@AlainBelanger-nd2eh]

Sometimes they are really stress into Q nature of the beast

[@speedhunter7303]

Hes a racing driver..hes not being paid to drive his mouth!

[@rossprentice4975]

Strange how Oscars car was slower all of a sudden

[@Klierland12]

The moment Max just wanted to drive very well, amongst all the hotchpot between Jos en Christian, he won my true sport heart. I didn't like him, still don't. But his statements are from his heart. You never see that.

[@ThmsDouglas]

Look up some videos of Max outside of racing because Max is a crazy CRAZY! competitor and yeah he will say things with adrenaline rushing and people say that's Max! You can see who he really is if you want to look.

Biggest theme of the WE? The lizard maybe..

[@johnbeer4963]

I can't tell you how much it irritates me when a driver says anything stronger than "poot" and the commentators immediately have to apologise to sensitive snowflakes for the language. On the other hand.... Kids watch F1 Can't punish Verstappen? They can, and they will.

[@RobertDixonTaylor]

Did peter windsor mean.. the team drivers talking to each other..or ALL the drivers able to talk?? Well... As we've just had "verstappen expletive gate" can you imagine what would be airing.. to the public!.. in a race!!! The tv coverage would spend neatly the WHOLE RACE... Bleeping out!!! Its not comparable to football, or rugby or cricket, or many other TEAM sports where there's usually only two teams with multiple players communicating- in real time , live, not on mikes! International rugby union matches , watched by millions, young and not so young would have ALL THIER PLAYERS AND MANAGERS, doing years of " community service" if we could hear them!!! So come on.. PW is very well informed, a veteran commentator etc... but you maybe should challenge him a bit more lad.

[@ashleymoore9063]

Why should any driver get off social media just because suliman is offended .

[@stuartorr8192]

Watch Moto gp … men with balls…
