The 2025 racing season hasn't even started yet, and there's already a chance that George Russell will be the first in something. There's a good chance he'll be the one the FIA sets an example with its new rule on swearing.
The Mercedes driver was left speechless on the first day of Bahrain testing, telling streaming service Viaplay that "Oh shit, the lights went out" regarding the power outage that disrupted the day.
This has already put him in the crosshairs of new regulations, where they are investigating whether he caused moral damage to the FIA, the reputation of the organization, its members, officials and motorsport in general. What a stupid joke! If the accusation stands, Russell's small mistake will cost him 40,000 euros. If he swears on other occasions, it could rise to 120,000 euros, and then points will be deducted and even a month's ban. On this basis, Yuki Tsunoda and Max Verstappen would not even have to start 2025...
