F1 returns to Marina Bay for the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix this weekend, and to kick it off, there are 3 main stories: swearing controversies, Kevin Magnussen's return, and the potential that Singapore could be the last race Daniel Ricciardo races in F1, to make way for Liam Lawson to drive RB's car from the US GP onwards.

i dont know how we still live in a world were people genuinely think kids never hear swearing and would be deeply damaged by it.

[AzureViking]

Jesus fucking christ... we honestly crying over swear words? There couldnt be a bigger non issue in sports.

[gazwj]

Lets not forget the radio is primarily there to communicate between driver and team not for entertainment so to expect drivers in that situation is fucking ridiculous

[wilburwhateley]

Race Host Nations: Engage in severe human rights violations
FIA: These things happen!

Drivers: Cursing on the radio
FIA: Clutches pearls aggressively

If F1 is going to be concerned about drivers swearing, they should also be concerned about whether the drivers are going to bed on time and brushing their teeth after every meal. Don’t want those young viewers getting naughty ideas about staying up late and developing bad hygiene! /s

It's such an American sensibility, this one. When it comes to hate speech they're all about free speech absolutism, but then they act as if someone's a criminal for saying the word fuck. Not to mention the extreme conservatism and the brutal regimes that the president of FIA seems to want to cater to all the time. Here's a guy who's annoyed by drivers making any sociopolitical statements or displaying LGBTQI solidarity but that doesn't deprive him of the gall to want to set the standards of decency for all of us, since dirty words offend him to the point of making racist dogwhistling about it. Well fuck that shit.

I cannot be arsed with all this talk about Ricciardo has been hard done by and he's needed in the sport. No he's not, he hasn't delivered in years, and also hes a grown man, he will be fine, he's eanred a potful of money during his time in F1. He will be fine, get shut and plonk Lawson in the seat. Its a no brainer

[randomcamerajunk]

I preferred F1 when we knew virtually nothing about the drivers and teams. Now it’s just K-pop with fast cars. Embarrassing.

[samuelgarrod]

Ffs, I don't understand these moaning about people saying and and *** Am I wrong?

[speed]

If the FIA doesn’t like the swearing, then the radios shouldn’t be mic’d.

[CyniqueLynx]

love the casual racism in "sound like rappers" in that statement btw also love that i remember distinctly in middle/elementary i heard more swearing in school downtime than I hear even on media now like lol

[kieferclarkf]

I believe all team radio messages should not be aired to the world. It’s not our business, what is said should stay between the team and the driver.

[colindowd]

To me, that photo of Liam Lawson looks like a certain posthumous World Champion that Helmut Marko knew really well ❤ Maybe this pushing his backing of Liam along

[titancheat]

Rb did promise Lawson a seat no? I know it means nothing without a contract though.

[wartbiter]

At last there may be an actual use for AI - beep the naughty words without too much broadcast delay.

[NicolasMignan]

Dont think midseason swap with Lawson is gonna happen Daniel hasnt been disastrously bad this year

[mavrick__]

How is daniel out but ocon still here.. unfair…

[masilomoshesh]

Why doesn’t he push for the termination of Heineken as a sponsor for F1 while he’s at it.

[tuomasholo]

If I’m not mistaken there is only one seat still available for 2025 and that’s with Audi.

[NiahlM]

K Mag did his time, saying leave points on licence is nosense.
