The Mercedes team principal and Ferrari’s Fred Vass🅘eur were handed official war🀅nings from the FIA for their conduct in a press conference last week at the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix.

Wolff🅺 passionately defended the organisation of the event, while Vasseur complained about the drain cover incident which damaged Carlos🍷 Sainz’s car.

Wolff sarcastically told Sky about his punishment: “That was great! The second time I’ve been summoned s🐲omewhere. 

“The last time was in 198💟4 when♒ I was 12, in school.”

“The positive? We are role models, r𝔉epresentin꧃g the sport. Some of us are not native so the F-word maybe slips out easier.

“None of us who are st🐎akeholders in the car or outside of the car, being looked at by young people on TV, sho🍷uld use any of the language.

“But the other side, there is a much big🎐ger picture. That’s why I accept being called there. We all - drivers, team representatives, FIA officials - need to adhere to the sporting code, we need to adhere to the Concorde governance agreement about how decisions are made, we need to adhere to the FIA code of ethics. All of us.

“This episode on swea🅺ring - we are stopping, all together. There is a certain set of guidelines and regulations that we need to adhere to, in the best interest of the sport.”

Wolff was punished for saying in Vegas: “It’s completely ridiculous🌊. Completely ridiculous. How can you even dare to talk bad about an event that sets the new standards, new standards to everything. 

“And then you’re speaking 🌜about a fuc**** drain cover that came undone that has happꩵened before - it’s nothing, it’s FP1. Give credit to the people that have set up this grand prix, that have made this sport much bigger than it ever was. Have you ever spoken good about someone? And written a good word? You should talk about all these people that have been out there.”
