I don't see the issue, kids can hear the f-bomb getting dropped in pretty much any movie these days, let alone the ones watching (gaming) streamers. the whole controversy is ridiculous, and it pleasures me to see how everyone is backing him on it.

In an crash, those things can get caught on parts of the car and make an accident way worse. Don't google 'ring degloving', whatever you do. But a facial piercing behind a helmet? A body piercing underneath the firesuit, cooling vest and compression shirt? GTFO. They were choosing to enforce it because they didn't like that Lewis had tattoos and piercings. That's it.

F1 is much safer than it was 50 years ago, but it's still an incredibly dangerous sport. Remember what happened to Jules Bianchi a decade ago, Romain Grosjean's miraculous escape from the crash where his fuel tank exploded, and countless recent close calls where debris and other cars have caused near-misses which could have been fatal in marginally different circumstances, including several which caused significant injuries? Considering that there's a significant chance of F1 live-broadcasting a driver _dying_ I really don't think naughty words are a significant problem. There is an implicit agreement between the drivers (who risk their lives for our entertainment, but earn millions of dollars and become international celebrities in return), F1's management, and the audience, that the risk is acceptable. They're willing to traumatise us one way, but not willing to mildly upset us in another? F1's priorities don't seem right.

I don’t think this has anything to do with actual swearing. Rather, Ben probably took it as a driver defying his mandates right after he made it. It’s a powerplay. Ironically, they chose to make an example of one of the drivers who doesn’t give a damn. It’s similar to the situation with Lewis, except Lewis wants to stay in F1 to try for an 8th title, whereas Max has stated he has already accomplished everything he wanted and is only here to have fun, which he has not been having since last year. Since last year, Max has been considering leaving F1 altogether, so it’s not a good idea for the FIA to provoke him when he clearly no longer has anything holding him to the sport.

True. But I suppose they're hidden away enough to not draw too much attention

[@sallymiller1533]

Let's all be grown up. A bit of swearing never hurt anyone. Sticks and stones and all that.

[@Kam1Kaz3NL77]

5:49 Sky being Sky, "must hate Verstappen" -> We'll prob see another postcard soon!

[@KushWhacker]

Is this not an issue to be hashed out between the FIA and Liberty media?MBS/FIA dictate the rules on track, Liberty/F1 dictate media/promotion

[@user-vt3od9lu3d]

As a great man once said, “I’m only here so I don’t get fined”

[@midas7394]

Good presentation about something that the FIA should never have blown 'out of proportion'. In reality, it's the F1 broadcasters who are the guilty party for not 'Beeping out' Max's profanity.

[@theGoogol]

And he's Dutch. We do swear a lot more than others, dammit.

[@kristofsomers2020]

and the dutch are notoriously direct in their communications. "als het niet klinkt, botst het maar". I respect that in a person.

[@desshinnick9365]

FIA: We don't like swearing and it should stop. Max: says the car was F'd Stewards: You get 1 day of community service due to FIA rule Me: WT? - you had nor clearly defined rules around warnings and punishments. So how can you just drop this. JOKE. Also me: WT? is Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of a motorsport rules body doing at every F1 race, feeling the need to impose himself all over the F1 event as though he is part of the show. It seems to me he's inflating his position and role.

[@TheThreatenedSwan]

They should have banned the jewelry because it's cringe. You also see all these football players who want to be blinged out while playing. Can you go without for the time you're performing? It's like they're children and the more you tell them no, the more they want to do it

[@oisinjoyce]

Max isn't the only one to get this treatment. Seb Ogier got fined 30000 euros at Acropolis Rally Greece for giving out about how the FIA didn't increase intervals between cars due to dust effecting visibility.

[@EckoSeb]

I just want to say your video’s are always a joy to watch. Well researched and very well told. It’s hard to be creative these days but the ladder, the switching of the camera positions are very well done!

[@nomar5spaulding]

Even Mick Schumacher dropped a few F bombs, and typically Mick was coming out on team radio with stuff like, "OH Fuhhh... crap." Mick one time literally got upset on the radio and just started saying, "BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP!" He basically had the team radio of a goofy black lab puppy, and even he did the old F word a few times.

[@marjaz2079]

Honestly the punishment could have been easily monetary, making it comunnity service feels weirdly meant to be humilliating on the FIA's part

[@sethhill5689]

If I was Max, I would 1) have a MP3 player hooked to my mic playing Muck Sticky's F### Off on loop over team coms and 2) during official media interviews I would respond with pre planned robotic responses.

[@Krausty]

I'd go with Rage against the Machine although I think Max might have to look up both our 'ancient' suggestions 😉

[@tgamagedon]

To me us being able to listen into the team's radio is a privilege and not something where the team or drivers have to accommodate the audience.

[@nicomeier8098]

The FUA is best known for handing out unequal sentences for the same offenses.

[@numbnut257]

Swearing in the car when talking to your engineer is fine ! We’re listening in on their conversation. Now swearing in a press release or interviews are absolutely not necessary

[@cococalm]

FIA is making noise and FOM is staying silent .... on their own platform !! Go figure.

[@techjay2214]

Wheres the punishment for the offical F1 youtube channel that literally posts montages of drivers swearing?

[@SuperMarkizas]

I want to hear natural speech in F1, no PG-9 level nonsense. This is motor sport, not fandom shipping for underage teen girls who can't hear a FU without blushing

[@petabaigent]

As a former teenage girl, that's not accurate at all

[@SuperMarkizas]

@petabaigent as one who has been one, it took a while to master the arts of FUs :D so somewhat accurate

[@desshinnick9365]

What happens when the FIA brings F1 into disrepute?

[@Butterfingers1989]

Remember when all drivers went on strike, we might see the same soon. Without drivers the FIA and F1 isnt worth a single penny.

[@kylem324]

Suleman wants power and control. But this is in an era where F1 doesn’t need the FIA. Adopting/creating a new sporting authority would not be burdensome. His judgement in going after Hamilton and Verstappen to assert his dominance in the current era where they arguably have more clout than anyone else is ill advised and has failed. Him quarrelling with FOM and threatening to negatively impact their cashflow and market cap really should have the FIA BoD concerned. Should swearing be broadcast? That’s really up to what the country standards dictate. It seems to be a good business decision. Should those that want to protect their virgin ears be able to watch a clean feed? Sure. There’s no reason a PG broadcast couldn’t be made simultaneously. But the whole notion of kids watch this or it’s not professional are hollow arguments. On the first count, any given race day can easily be a day where someone’s death is broadcast live on TV. (How wholesome) On the second count, in my personal experience executives, doctors, politicians often have a little Gunther in them behind closed doors.

[@dangerdean9066]

The thing is, MBS, you can't clamp down on colourful langauge because it's a necessary evil, if you are racing or even driving normally and something goes south of your intended plan, it's completely normal to swear, it's a necessary evil. Do people remain calm when someone else brake checks you or drives into you (like Vettel in Baku 2017)? I wouldn't.

[@michaelfisher7159]

I cannot stand MBS and the sooner he’s out of F1 the better. Absolute clown

[@X-Warrior.1119]

To be fair the "FIA & F1" are extremely Uptight!

[@MTNGear]

We want emotionless droids for race drivers and not passionate, driven and invested drivers said no one ever

[@lionhret]

@LawVS the max impression was superb

[@rustyfmj2388]

FIA just working on installing Sharia law, that's all

[@petersteinmeijer519]

Next he'll be told he's a rolemodel. You know when a person is to live and act by a set of completely arbitrary rules some one else has made up for him.

[@ccooper8785]

Blinkin' flip !!! This is all a bit of a rum do, What What ! Whatever would Nanny say ?

[@fiftynotes]

Nice Max impersonation Mr Law and your ladder.

[@Youtubax]

All this swearing drama comes from the US. If they’re so offended by it why don’t take the Super Bowl approach? They use a 2 minute delay broadcasting for that same reason 😂

[@solarissv777]

I believe, from Muslim countries as well.
