F1 drivers have emotions on the wheel of the car. According to Mika Salo, it is unreasonable to demand them to keep their mouths in the rush.
– It’s a ridiculous rule.
Mika Salo does not shy away to download his opinion on the hottest topic of the current form of formulas.
Salo, who has participated in the 110 GP start career, considers the ban on swearing for F1 drivers as a stupid idea. Indeed, drivers have been loudly criticizing the rule change.
– I’m completely on the drivers here.
The idea of blocking the mouth of the F1 pilots can lead to FIA bamp Mohammed bin Sulayem. By scratching the surface, it is found that there is also a desire to deny more politically dangerous protests, which are poisonous to motor sports in the Middle East.
Feelings on the surface

As a former F1 driver, Salo if anyone understands that when it comes to racing, the feelings are on the surface.
– F1 is the only sport in the world where the athlete has a microphone all the time in front of the mouth. As the adrenaline flows in the body, emotions are on the surface and feedback on the team radio is immediate. It is unreasonable to insist that there is no ugly word in that situation, Salo says.
Salo gives a colorful example of another beloved species to Finns.
– Even Finnish spear thrower screams with the devil’s cane. But no one should remember to fining them.
According to Salo, the language use of drivers can be controlled outside the cab.
– Yes, I understand that this language is not tolerated at a press conference. But the fact that language is controlled in the car is wrong to me.
“A fine would have come”

During the Salo F1 career, the general public did not hear team radio discussions.
According to Salo, it was just a good thing.
– I would have fined a sauceist, Salo laughs.
– Language with the team is very straight, on both sides. When something happens, it is quite straightforward to comment.
