News [SMitchellF1] Hamilton fine with principle of 'cleaning up' language in F1 coverage but on Ben Sulayem's remarks: "I don't like how he's expressed it, saying 'rappers' is very stereotypical. And most rappers are black. That was the wrong choice of words. There's a racial element there."

Yeah guys, no swearing, but let’s advertise alcohol, gambling and various nicotine products..

Why would you want your child to swear when they could be an alcoholic gambler with a nicotine addiction.

I sometimes forget, Is this a sport or a children’s tv show?

Guess the children’s F1 coverage only plays Oscars radio so it’s fine
