Wolff ‘applauds’ FIA for F1 swearing crackdown after official warning
Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff and Ferrari Team Principal Fred Vasseur were called to the FIA stewards ahead of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix for incidents of swearing during a press conference in Las Vegas. Vasseur expressed his frustration over damage to Carlos Sainz’s car, while Wolff defended the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Wolff stated that as role models, they should not use profanity, especially since they are being watched by young people. The FIA ruling against Wolff acknowledged that his use of language was provoked and not typical, resulting in only a warning. Wolff emphasized the need for everyone in Formula 1 to adhere to the sporting code, Concorde governance agreement, and FIA code of ethics in the best interests of the sport.
