Wolff ‘applauds’ FIA for F1 swearing crackdown after official warning
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff and Ferrari counterpart Fred Vasseur were summoned by the FIA stewards for using profanities during a press conference in Las Vegas before the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Vasseur expressed his frustration over the damage to Carlos Sainz’s car, while Wolff defended the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Wolff commented that as role models representing the sport, it is important to avoid using such language, especially when young viewers are watching. The FIA acknowledged that the use of profanity was prompted by an interruption during the press conference and issued a warning rather than a harsher punishment. Wolff emphasized the need for all individuals, including drivers, team representatives, and FIA officials, to adhere to the sporting code, Concorde governance agreement, and FIA code of ethics to uphold the best interests of the sport.
