Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff has revealed 💜a rare iss🐠ue he agrees with FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem on.

Wolff has publicly admitted that he disagrees with 🦄a number of Ben Sulayem’s polic💯ies throughout his controversial tenure as president of F1’s governing body.

F1 drivers have criticised Ben Sulayem’s recent clampdown on foul language, with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen having to perform “some work of public interest” for the FIA as punishment for the use of an expletive during a press conference 🌠in Singapore.

But this is a rare topic that Wol𝓀ff does see eye-to-eye with the FIA president on.

“I have a seven-year-old that go-karts 💫and that watches everything. It is the first time, a few months ago, that he said, ‘what the f**k’, and I said ‘where 🅠did you hear that from?’ He said from the drivers,” Wolff told media including at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

“So I ha🐼ve my conflicts with Mohammed but in that instance the drivers, all of the drivers, are role models. They are on 🥀air and they are entitled, and they are empowered.

“I disagree with many of the other things that he [Ben💟 Sulayem] came up with, but on that one I think if you translate ‘f**k’ into your own language or my lang𝓀uage, it is pretty rude. I would never say that on the radio.

“George [Russell] and I, and Lewis [Hamilton] had𓃲 this conversation and they know I don’t like it. So I am perfectly fine that we are really able to limit t🌺hat.

“There are a handful of drivers, some native, some not, that come out with the things and, for me I, would be happy to sanction that even more. That’s just my opiniꦕon.”

Ben Sulayem’s fight to ‘clean’ F1

Asked if he felt the swearing clampdown was a fight worth having, Ben Sulayem recꦓently told Motorsport: “Fight? For cleaning the sport, yes.

“But did I write these rules about swearing? Was I the one who implemented and policed it? I ask you because it's the stewards. It's not me. It's 𒊎the stewards. So you go and ask them, why is that?

“We are sending a message to the youngsters at any age wi🍎th that. And, excuse me, commercials, movies꧙, they are rated whatever.

“Do we have to say the rude words? Honestl☂y. Did say it? Did🐻 Mohammed Ali say it? He said he was a big mouth. But did he ever say it [a rude word]? Did Pele say it?

“We are in a very unique sport and we ha🤪ve to protect it from the bad words. Bad words that I will always disagree with.”

Speaking at the FIA’s prize-giving gꦗala in Rwanda, Ben Sulayem praised Verstappen’s approach 🌱to carrying out his community service prior to receiving his world championship trophy.

"[Max𒈔] really fulfilled his promise,” Ben Sulayem said. "This is the community service we need every sin🅷gle driver, champion, to do if we want to grow.

“If weꦬ talk about diversity: this is the real diversity. It was not about the car, mainly about the peoplꦜe there.

"I believe maybe in the future we won't have to have it as a penalty. It has to come as a gesture from the drivers an💃d maybe I'll put it on the contract once they get their licence."
