    The FIA should also be reminded that these racers are not TV presenters. For most of them English is a second language and it is not always easy to express themselves.

      Even if English is your first language, it’s not always easy to maintain your composure when talking about a topic you’re emotionally invested in or under a lot of stress about. I would take a different stance about a driver that drops f bombs every other word, but this prudishness about occasional profanity is silly.

      The crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed Bin Salman, who has a list of alleged crimes behind his name is generally referred to as MBS. MBS is NOT president of FIA, that is Mohammed Ben Salayem.
