The FIA president still hasn't given up on his idea of "cleaning up" communication between drivers. And if that can't be achieved through sanctions, then cryptography could be considered.
However, radio has already created many unforgettable moments for motorsport fans, such as Kimi Raikkönen's classics or the one-liners of Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen. However, the FIA is waging a war against common sense and humor, with the result that, starting in 2025, those who express themselves obscenely on the radio could lose points. And that's still not enough for Mohammed Ben Sulayem, who also wants to exclude viewers from the aforementioned experience and encrypt radio conversations.
"Are we going to cut off live radio communication? There are efforts in that direction. There are many things we are working on with the involvement of the promoters. Remember that we are still the owners of the championship, we will determine the direction to follow," said the sports director.
We don't mean to sound rude, but doesn't someone want to finally rid the FIA of this directorate?
