The FIA can go fuck itself.

Rally drivers have even more reasons to swear than F1 drivers, fucking leave them alone

Especially when they are interviewed after every special stage when they are just full of adrenaline. The drivers are going to be silent this weekend in Kenia. Letโ€™s see will FIA force them to speak.

Rally drivers need to be able to express themselves, otherwise we wouldn't get gems like this.

Oh fuck off

No, we don't need our racing drivers to be pristine, perfectly packaged, child-safe Marvel superheroes. Not everybody on earth is a child.

The FIA can get the fuck off the drivers' backs

Mohammed Ben Sulayem can eat a dick.

Get this fucking dipshit outta there. We do not need some bullshit moral leader running the FIA. We need someone that actually cares about the driver safety and the integrity of the various racing leagues. That's it.

Leave the penalty for cursing up to the teams or the people that broadcast. The governing body for racing shouldn't have any say over that the drivers are or are not allowed to say.

Bullshit. Drivers are drivers, not role models. Why should we expect them to be exemplars of morals, and experts of cultural sensitivity? We don't expect them to be well educated, great parents or philosophers.

Let them drive fast.
