Alex Albon has revealed F1 drivers have been in discussions with one another regarding the ongoing dispute over swearing, highlighting they strictly oppose the new guidelines. FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has been vocal about his desire to stamp swear words out of the sport. The 63-year-old has even suggested it could stop broadcasting team radio messages on the television broadcast, despite swear words being censored. Earlier this year, new instructions from the governing body outlined the penalties that could be issued to drivers going forward should they breach the rules. It extends to as far as receiving a race ban and even being deducted championship points. Speaking to media including RacingNews365 , Albon stated drivers have talked about the situation behind closed doors. “There’s definitely been discussions about it,” he said. “We’re still ongoing about how we want to output what we say around it. “It is a delicate matter. Do we think it’s right? Of course not. I don’t think we should be so monetised in every single aspect of what we do. “It’s a pure adrenaline sport as well. I don’t think us walking around with the mics all the time is [right].” Last year, F1 drivers released a public statement through the Grand Prix Drivers' Association in which it raised a number of concerns relating to the FIA president.
