Live radio exchanges also in the FIA's sights?

I think Mohammed Ben Sulayem should change his policy and move towards defending F1 drivers!!!!

I said it in a previous comment! The next step is virtual press conferences with avatars whose speech will be formatted by AI. This F1 where nothing should exceed bores me!

It's really an obsession for some to send this man back to his nationality. Strange, when Sébastien Loeb complained about the decision to ban him from continuing the Dakar, no one here wrote "This Frenchman", as if grumbling was a national trait (and that the "national trait" is a tangible reality, too...). And besides, for example, when Jean Todt was president and we heard much less live discussions (while the technical means were there) no one complained about presidential censorship. Nice example of "double standards". That said, basically, if we beep insults (which allows us to have an idea of ​​the internal atmosphere, as has been rightly pointed out, without having to tell ourselves that it's perhaps not what we want to watch with our children) or we delay the public broadcast of conversations so that we no longer hear the name-calling, I don't really see the problem. It's not listening to adults under extreme stress not paying attention to what they say that makes us love, watch and listen to this sport. If we broadcast something, it has to help us appreciate what we're watching. In this perspective, insults are perfectly useless and dispensable (unless we want to keep Verstappen or Leclerc's false image of a dog on steroids and forget everything they're doing at the same time). Offering instead technical information, interviews with members of the technical team in the pits, that would be much more useful, and would rebalance the show-technical balance that many of us here do not consider optimal. And to anticipate the two-penny argument, there is no censorship, or rather it is already exercised by the producers of F1 since we only receive on our screens what they have decided to make us hear, i.e. a tiny part of the wall-single-seater exchanges throughout a race.

There was a time when radio communications were one-way: driver to pit. The latter could then warn of his imminent arrival to change tires... it was not bad indeed but as far as the concern of the FIA ​​and its President is concerned, it would not change anything since in general, the "bad words" come from the drivers and not from the pits. From a purely sporting point of view it could be good to return to this one-way (we talk about it for cycling), with just the right to communicate to the driver the instructions of the race direction to warn of a danger for example... however, my greatest post-race pleasure is precisely to listen to these conversations which teach a lot about the internal mood of the teams... In the end, let's leave things as they are and f... to the one who will listen!

Hello. At 280KM in a curve and kept a cool head and thought that you are going to get a fine or lose points because some want to listen to "FIA" we should let the teams and their drivers do it among themselves because the competition listens

The presidential censorship of an Emirati in love with full power and needing to prove that "the FIA ​​is back" and that he exists? That being said, radio links did not exist for decades and that did not make the races less interesting. When we see certain lacks of communication in qualifying with drivers in outlap when a driver in flying lap arrives while the communications were supposedly intended mainly for safety on the track, we can question the relevance of the radio. Long live the return of the signage and less assistance to the driver from the wall and the pit!

That would be good. As before, use of the paneling and the pilot to figure it out and no longer be directed.

This is really a ridiculous fight, stirring up trouble to make people believe that we exist. And how does he intend to ban the frequent middle fingers? By tying drivers' hands to the steering wheel? If ridicule killed, he would have been dead a while ago.
