Let them curse. It’s sports. What a weird hill to die on.
- It's not weird when the entire point of your org is to be presentable for advertisers.
  
  Considering that X still has advertisers (and more returning), I don't think a little swearing in excitement or frustration is going to have any impact on sponsors or advertising.
  
  Is that what they want though? Don’t they want controversial drivers to drive the brand being mentioned more? It’s free marketing.
  
  That's libertymedia/fom the point of the FIA is to .. erm... Hold fancy dinners?
  
  I josh it's to ensure that some of the headliner money's makes it to the feeder series to make them sustainable
