George Russell has labeled the reversal of the FIA ​​of a ban on cursing as ‘suspect’ and ‘ridiculous’ after the administrative body has announced major changes in the controversial directive.

On Thursday, the FIA ​​released an “Appendix B” to its sports code, which states that their curses will now be seen in two different lights, depending on whether it is in a “controlled” or “non-controlled” environment.

George Russell responds to the latest changes in FIA -curse ban
After introducing the rule in January, the FIA ​​reduced it this week to prevent further recoil from the drivers. Now cursing in situations such as press conferences will be treated differently with cursing while they are kept behind the wheel, while the financial fines have been reduced.

No F1 driver has yet been hit with a fine for curses, although Max Verstappen was made last season to do a community service because he called his car ‘F ** Ked’.

Russell, who was one of the most vocal critics of the first ban, thought it was unnecessary to praise the latest change, which said that it should never have been introduced in the first place.

“I feel that the changes should never have happened in the first place,” said Russell, director of the Accosion of the Grand Prix drivers, in Imola. “So we are talking about a situation in which things have returned, because it was a bit ridiculous in the first place.

“We are happy to see that things go back to how they should be, but it should never have been in the first place. So it feels a bit wrong to thank the changes if we shouldn’t have been to start with.

“It’s a bit of a strange, perilous situation, and we still haven’t had any correspondence with someone from senior level at the FIA. So it’s all a bit suspicious.”
