Martin Brundle backs FIA swearing rules for F1 drivers as one thing 'doesn't feel right' Martin Brundle has spoken out in favour of the FIA's controversial new punishments for Formula 1 drivers.
In an update to its International Sporting Code ahead of the 2025 F1 season, the sport's governing body issued new guidance to stewards for punishing certain infringements made by drivers.
Many within the FIA are said to be unhappy about the changes which were made without consulting F1 stakeholders or the drivers themselves, and are said to have been ushered in during a swift e-vote with little due process.
It comes from Brundle who, while speaking to Sky Sports News, expressed his belief that drivers should indeed mind their language while taking part in press conferences and official duties away from the racetrack.
The offences listed includes causing "moral injury to the FIA" - criticising the governing body - and the use of "coarse" or "rude" language, which would include swearing.
