What the fuck is "language not consistent with values defended by the FIA" supposed to mean? Are they revealing that there is some kind of rulebook to what people tell the media?

What worries me is that there seems to be an actual clause in the sporting rules that allows the FIA to punish teams because of that.

If you don't wanna get sweared at maybe don't fuck up, cause millions of dollars of damage and then penalise the damaged team for your fuck up

Toto:

"You’re speaking about a fucking drain cover that’s been undone, that has happened before. That’s nothing. It’s FP1.”

Fred:

“We had a very tough FP1. This will cost us a fortune. We fucked up the session for Carlos. We won’t be part of the FP2 for sure.

Toto said:

“That is not a black eye. This is nothing!

“We are [on] Thursday night, we have a free practice session one that we’re not doing, they’re going to seal the drain covers, and nobody’s going to talk about that tomorrow morning anymore.

“It’s completely ridiculous! Completely ridiculous, FP1, how can you even dare try to talk bad about an event that sets the new standards to everything? And then you’re speaking about a f***ing drain cover that’s been undone. That has happened before! That’s nothing, it’s FP1!

“Give credit to the people that have set up this grand prix, that have made this sport much bigger than it ever was. Have you ever spoken good about someone and written a good word? You should about all these people that have been out here. Liberty has done an awesome job and just because in FP1 a drain cover has become undone, we shouldn’t be moaning.

“The car is broken, that’s really a shame. For Carlos, it could have been dangerous. So between the FIA and the track and everybody needs to analyse how we can make sure that this is not happening again. But talking here about the black eye for the sport on a Thursday evening, nobody watches that in European time anyway!”

FIA ..fuck you. We are adults.. it's a car racing.. not fucking Barbie kids show. FP1 was a fucking shitshow and deservingly called "Fucked up". Don't want to be called Fucked? Well don't fuck up!. -someone probably.
