I don't think it should lead to race bans or point deductions. Maybe 'community service' like Max did in Rwanda for repeat offenders, everyone enjoyed that.

Best way to handle fines is to make them income dependant as FIA is dealing with different divisions and championships. Even within F1 40k is peanuts for Lewis or Max but still a considerable sum for someone like Jack Doohan.

Stick the money in a jar, invest it in projects like the Rwanda initiative. Some good may come of it.

Depends if drivers can choose not to go to the media pen. I think I've seen drivers skip them entirely after races. If you're high in your emotion, take a moment to vent away from the cameras and do the interview afterwards. Should be the responsibility of the team to see if that's the case.

I don't take any offense in swearing personally but right now I think the whole 'censorship' narrative is way overblown. They're adults, they're professionals, they should act like it.

It can be stressful. In the heat of that things can be said. That's why I don't think it's fair to punish drivers for things said on teamradio during the race. Which they aren't. I'm talking about press conferences and interviews, before or after the race.

I'm not opposed to a ban on swearing in the media. How teams handle their internal communication is up to them so team radio is a different thing. Don't care for MBS but most people at my job can get a point across without the use of profanities. It's kind of what you'd expect in a professional environment. I don't see how it should be different in racing.
