Formula 1 drivers warned over using bad language in interviews
落落長.....直接講大意
Kimi&Vettel在阿布達比頒獎台訪問講了shit&fuck......BBC收到一堆投訴電話
Todt就警告車手們要注意自己的用詞XDDDD
Governing body the FIA issued the demand after both Sebastian Vettel and Kimi
Raikkonen swore, live on air, while on the podium after last Sunday's Abu
Dhabi Grand Prix.
A letter to teams says it is "very much our collective responsibility to make
sure drivers are aware such language has no place during media events".
A spokesman said any future instances may lead to disciplinary action.
The letter was written by FIA director of communications Norman Howell at the
request of president Jean Todt.
It is not clear what punishment any drivers might receive in future, but the
F1 regulations contain a catch-all rule about bringing the sport into
disrepute that could be applied.
The letter says bad language "shines an unwelcome beam of adverse publicity
on their teams and sponsors, the sport and the FIA".
It adds: "I understand that in the 'heat of battle', adrenaline, elation and
disappointment make for a dangerous and heady mix.
"But F1 drivers are not the only ones being interviewed in such conditions: I
think of boxers, rugby and football players who are routinely interviewed
live on television after a gruelling sporting effort. They manage to avoid
inappropriate language."
Howell said the letter had been received "positively" by the teams.
He said there had been "quite a few complaints, from members of the public,
people within the FIA, even from the media".
He added: "Since it happened twice on the same weekend, I thought I'd send a
friendly note.
"We need to remind the drivers they are professionals. If you're a racing
driver at that level you have to realise that part of your job description is
to talk to the media, and to do so in a way that is acceptable."
The interviews, conducted by David Coulthard with Vettel and Raikkonen, were
broadcast live on BBC One on Sunday.
The BBC received 22 calls (21 complaints and one comment) about the swearing
and 30 calls (28 complaints and two comments) about the delay in making the
Abu Dhabi Grand Prix available on the iPlayer on-demand service for the
swearing to be removed.
