My take is he is immature and entitled. Like this is what you are going to take a stand against? Drawing a line in the sand over this? Please. People dealing with real issues and he’s in a tissy about being told to not use swear words.
Ask someone not to swear is one thing, but punish him to set an example is another. I'm with Max.
Oof what a tough punishment! Poor Max.

No, more seriously - i don't agree with the FIA either, but broach it in a mature way man. He's acting like an immature entitled child.

I have to agree. MBS comes from a culture where swearing is not common i guess, but is driving an organisation that governs a sport dominated by people of culture where swearing is an everyday thing, more specifically using f*ck in every sentence where English is the language. While it's not part of professional lingo and people manage to keep it out of official meetings in regular office spaces, it's something now ingrained in the English speaking world. MBS should step back and let those who are used to f*uck word manage the FIA.

Nowhere in a professional sports or business, any swear words are acceptable.

Using the f word is sexual harassments in some countries.

Max should get an education for what is acceptable in a regular work environment.

And this is entertainment too, not only sports or only business. You hear footballers swearing all the time on the pitch and even at the refs, and no one bats an eye because of 'the game' or 'adrenalin'. The words he used are used daily by millions of people but somehow are the elephant in the room. Just because some countries have laws influenced by religion or whatever doesn't mean that the rest of the world should do what they want. And this a global entertaining sport which produces billions every year.

Just because more people do a certain thing doesn't necessarily make it right.

By the way, show me shows, movies and other dramas or even sports of non religious counties from a 50 or 70 years ago and tell me how common f word was. It's a thing that has become a common place in certain societies in the last few decades, has nothing to do with religion. Just basic human things where using f word was considered disrespectful and it still does in many societies.

Praying for some lap 1 carnage tomorrow so the Ferraris can get back to the front and make strategy really difficult.

This is going to be one very exciting race start. Max will have to watch out for Lewis because any contact between the 2 may just give Lando the WDC this season.

Tell me that some people don't want to adapt without telling me that they don't want to adapt.

Oh yeah, because he will definitely not hear it from other sources (even own family, friends, school, internet) and he will definitely hear it from watching F1 press conferences. I mean, he is a kid, he watches this things, no?
