Formula 1 drivers have requested Formula One Management not to broadcast their swearing in radio messages after a request from the FIA to watch their language. FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem asked FOM to consider what is aired and suggested drivers avoid using swear words in the car. Championship leader Max Verstappen finds attempts to limit swearing on team radio too sensitive, stating that swearing is common and athletes in other sports also use foul language in the heat of the moment. Verstappen believes not broadcasting such messages and allowing teams to deal with it internally is a better approach. Driver Lando Norris supports Verstappen, emphasizing that the passion and raw emotion of drivers should be celebrated.
