All kinds of news about F1.

[FW17]

Heat of the moment flaming is exactly what the entire population is being told not to do when behind the wheel of a motor vehicle.

I think it's OK to curse behind the wheel of your car, as long as that is all it is and not rage driving.

In the broadcasts of the team chatter, it feels to me like it is the FIAs responsibility not to broadcast poor language, they have full control over whether something is broadcast, bleeped etc If they don't like colourful language in these radio chats, then don't broadcast them, leave the drivers in their space, it's intense and you need to recognise that.

In the interviews it is a different matter, I feel. As soon as you are out of the car I can't see any reason why you don't have a responsibility to keep it family friendly. I don't care what drivers think of whether kids should hear swearing, I don't want my TV peppered with colourful language whilst my 3 year old is in the room. I don't particularly want them exposed to swearing until they are old enough to understand the rules around the words.

.
You do realize this is just about press conferences? How many times have you heard someone swear there?
You're talking about peppered with colourful language/swearing. I've never heard of a 3 year old listening to a PC.
If they're in the room at all, they're playing and in their own little world. They don't listen to that at all.
That doesn't mean I think it's necessary to swear, I don't like it, but peppered with swearing is a huge exaggeration
the few times it's happened.

3 year olds are not watching PC but how many times is it going to be made into youtube shorts, instagram posts, tweets, tictock?

I think you're going a bit far. I'm not suggesting that there is loads, I just don't want it in the interviews so I'm fine with the punishment. It's the internet, don't take every word to the extreme

.
English isn't my native language but how would you explane "I don't want my TV peppered with colourful language"?
AFAIK peppered doesn't mean once in a while but many times/often/overloaded.

It means i don't want it on my TV, it wasn't intended as an approximation of the number of swear words

Look at the bias of the FOM british staff. A 2025 season video without Max Verstappen not on a feature in the season.

Great news

That is good news, he really didn’t seem very impartial at all!

What is this guy doing? The FIA is in turmoil.
More or less like with the stewards.

Oh FFS, rotating race directors was a disaster last time it was tried!

Without watching that video i can see that the people in the advert for it are those who are bringing change to F1.

Max is the status quo.

Newey is big news.
Lewis is big news
Kimi is big news
Lando less so, but a change in the domination of Max.

It's not bias is it?

While we're at it, let's avoid such broad brush 'British Bias' nonsense. FOM is not British... They know the market and what sells. Max doesn't sell as he's nothing new.

I'm looking forwards to someone being able to challenge him. That will be good to see.

What he is doing is divide & conquer. He is making sure no other person than himself is of any importance.
He got egg on his face when removing Niels Wittich. It's much easier for Ben to remove someone who stands up to him when they're one of say four directors. They become dispensable.

What do you mean Max does not sell?

That image was insulting, it was done by an FOM based in UK which employs mostly UK people. If you dont want to call out the bias, so be it.

I mean that Max is not new news and as a stable and embedded character there is nothing about him that pulls people in.

I like the guy but he's not what FOM are trying to sell.

I can see your point, and would assume you like orange things and clogs, which would probably also give you some bias in how you see that news.

Wear your FOM glasses and you'll see that they want a story of change rather than a story of Max winning again and again and again etc...

FIA announces race director support role for Formula One

The FIA has finalised its plans for race control in the 2025 Formula One season. A few days ago, during a meeting in Madrid, Spain, Mohammed Ben Sulayem revealed that there would be multiple race directors in 2025. For the time being, there will only be one, but as the FIA has confirmed to GPBlog, a prominent support role, the race director's right-hand, has already been filled.

Prior to the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix, the FIA decided to stop its collaboration with Niels Wittich, the race director at the time. There was much controversy over the penalties that were being issues under his leadership. Three races before the end of the season, a new name was thrusted into the fore: Rui Marques. The former F2 race director will hold on to the race director position in F1 come 2025 as well, but he will be assisted by Dutch Claire Dubbelman.

Claire Dubbelman and her work for Formula 1 and the FIA

Dubbelman already has extensive experience in Formula 1. She was a regular at Race Control in 2023 and 2024. She joined the FIA's Formula 1 team in 2023 as Race Control Operator, where she worked closely with the race director to oversee the racing on track. Dubbelman is a Dutch motorsport official who has worked for the FIA since 2017. Before the governing body, her responsibilities included the Formula 2 and Formula 3 championships.
