Can't say I was massively paying attention during the interviews. What did Räikkönen and Vettel say?

Stick a microphone in front of a bloke bursting with adrenaline and that's going to happen
Posted 08 November 2012 - 14:18
I have the same sentiment.I kind of thought that Vettel just did it because Kimi had sworn earlier.

It just boils down to having a bit of respect and these guys need to have that for the fans watching. It might not offend everyone, but during day time transmission its simply not appropriate.Who gives a **** what the children think. It's an adult world.

In case Räikkönen is still around, he's got a fair chance to trick the automation with his mumbling.There'll be a day when audio processing on television sets is good enough that it'll bleep out the words as they come through (delayed by a fraction of a second). But I think Kimi might be retired by then. Vettel will likely still be driving.

I come from a country where, well, we don't make such a fuss of these things and, of course, don't beep anything. And each time I watch something in English, the only thing the beep achieves, in my case, is to make me pay more attention to the swearing instead of taking it away. It's like a loud "hey, hey! here there was a swearing word, can you guess which one it was?"There'll be a day when audio processing on television sets is good enough that it'll bleep out the words as they come through (delayed by a fraction of a second). But I think Kimi might be retired by then. Vettel will likely still be driving.

It not appropriate.
They're at work and have to behave to some standards of behavior.
Posted 08 November 2012 - 15:14
I have a theory: When English is not our main language we give less importance to swering. I've notice that on Vettel. Oh, and how about ending those pathetic podium interviews?
Posted 08 November 2012 - 15:17
Seb said something about starting from the back there was plenty of potential "to **** up".Anyway, to answer the question: Kimi said people 'gave him ****' for apparently not being happy after winning a race - I guess he was referring to Spa in 2009. I don't know what Vettel came up with, as by then I had already switched off the TV.

That's horrible! It would've been so much better for him to use one of these words - except for the ones that are 'bad'. Obviously.Seb said something about starting from the back there was plenty of potential "to **** up".

I could be alone on this, but surely this is language which should not be used at any time, not just "sometimes". If you never use it, than no amount of adrenaline will make you to say that. Kimi actually is getting pretty comfortable WITH this in public. (Remember interview at Spa 2012). I am not overly sensitive person, but this is undoubtedly wrong. Just as calls for “free speech” (read unrestricted, or non-corporate) are wrong, because we aren’t always right, we do not always think before we speak, and there is certain responsibility for drivers to preserve decorum.Kimi said "last time you guys been giving me **** cause i didn't laugh"
Vettel said "..there was a chance to **** it up [the race] but we didn't.."

So firstly they say that drivers are robots, cause they have set speeches mostly etc, and now thye whine about swearing?
Sweet god, kids at age of 12 swear more than them in my country. actually they might know more curses than I lol.
+ a driver that just raced for 2h with average speed of 220+- is definetly calm as ****. It is pretty normal that he has insane amounts of adrenaline and he can throw a curse or two. And in the end, they are not native speakers, and they sometimes might forget how to replace a word and doesnt want to repeat the same word over and over again like "Car was bad, balance was bad, setup was bad", They can just say "Car was bad and we ****ed up setup"
Actually I'd like them to throw even more curses and broadcast all radio.
Unless they speak like that:

Well for me they can drop a f-bomb form time to time. ofcourse marathon of f-bombs would be just silly and really in bad taste. It is just, why the heck after like "****" whcih one is rather not that bad word (at least for me), and 1x f-bomb they already are warned about language lolWould you tell a mate to **** off if he did something to annoy you? I would.
Would you tell your mother to **** off if she had irritated you?
Its a bit of a straw man argument to say that if drivers aren't constantly swearing then they are being forced into being corporate robots. I'm able to maintain my personality without swearing at my boss. I don't think a huge deal is being made of this, a few cranks complained to the BBC and the sport has had a quiet word with drivers to remind them how to behave in front of a mixed global audience. Thats all.
