    99% of the swearing comes in radio messages, which are already delayed and bleeped.

    Sulayem talking about the need to respect other cultures is hilarious considering he lost his shit at Hamilton and Vettel for thinking LGBT people are human beings worthy of respect, and at Lando for talking about helping people experiencing mental health issues.

    But hey, would it really still be the FIA if the guys at the top weren’t pieces of shit?

    And is it just me or does MBS’s previous incessant bitching about Hamilton (for his views, for him not attending the FIA Gala after AD2021, over his nose stud supposedly being highly dangerous, etc), combined with him now complaining about people who “talk like rappers” and saying “that’s them, not us” come across a little like dogwhistle?

    “We’re not rappers, you know. They say the F-word how many times per minute? We are not on that. That’s them and we are [us].”

    What the hell are you talking about? When can we get rid of this clown…

    This whole think about the kids bullshit, really grinds my gears. Going fast while driving and daring overtakes, with alcohol sponsors(advertising) banner across the track is OK. But if they hear a swear word from the driver, that is bad influence.

    I knew they would try to ruin the cool down room. It’s the only place left to get a glimpse of the drivers real personality and not the crafted image.
