The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) seems to be in the middle of a legislative overhaul for the 2025 season, as the governing body of motorsports changes its sporting code yet again — and free speech is on the chopping block next, according to new reports.

The FIA has released a series of new stewards' penalty guidelines that could result in drivers receiving fines, points deductions and even racing bans.

Salty language is at the core of probably every competition on Earth and Formula 1 racing is no different, as drivers and teams push the limits to go ever faster and, inevitably, more than a few curse words come out.
