The FIA announced strict regulations regarding foul language in the 2024 Formula 1 season, with a zero-tolerance policy towards profanity over radio and in press conferences. Led by President Mohammed Ben Sulayem, the new guideline defines misconduct and imposes escalating monetary fines for multiple offenses, starting from €40,000. Controversially, the new rules also threaten one-month bans for severe breaches. This measure raises concerns about prioritizing moral conduct outweighing the sport's essence, especially as previous punishments for swearing varied widely and included community service or suspended fines.
The new International Sporting Code now specifies punishments for foul language among drivers, starting at €40,000 fines and escalating to potential one-month bans.
The FIA's crackdown on offensive language, notably the ban on the word 'fuck', raises questions about maintaining sportsmanship versus prioritizing image.
