FIA sets hard rules: 10,000 euros punishment for curse in motorsport!

The Automobile World Association FIA draws clear borders: At the Rally World Championship in Sweden, the Hyundai driver Adrien Fourmaux had to pay a juicy fine of 10,000 euros. The reason? A harmless statement that fell in an interview after the last special exam: "We fucked up Yesterday". This verbal derailment took place after a frustrating rally, in which Fourmaux started too late and had additional problems with a belt and helmet. According to the new, strict set of rules of the FIA, dealing with improper behavior is taken particularly seriously, as was observed in Formula 1 last year, as Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc were punished because of their choice of words, as the Krone reported .

strict announcements and rules

With a fine of initially 30,000 euros for the first violation, Fourmaux is surprisingly good because the Stewards took into account mitigating circumstances, including the fact that it was his first violation and he apologized in advance. However, it is important for the FIA ​​to set clear standards for public communication. The guidelines were revised in January and the use of inappropriate language, which is strictly punished according to the new provisions, provides for a staggered punishment. This can be fined of up to 180,000 euros and racing barriers if a driver is repeatedly noticed by inappropriate statements. This helps to maintain integrity and professionalism in motorsport, as well as Motorsport-Magazin

This is how the motto of the FIA ​​remains unchanged: promoting a respectful and professional approach is extremely important, especially in a global sport that appeals to people from all cultures and age groups. Every violation could lead to drivers to have to risk their beloved freedom in motorsport. In another offense within the next 12 months, Fourmaux could be exposed to the 20,000 euros again - a clear warning!
