Ben Hunt: Tantrum of Tantum FIA in Jeddah e-Pix sets an example for the oath rules

Dan ticketIn the last weekend, Jeddah e-Pix will be unpublished to take the oath despite the wishes of the swearing Rant FIA chairman.

The 25 -year -old radio exchange with race engineer Michael Lee took place in the middle through Saudi Arabia’s initial competition of Formula E Weekend.

While he was running in the sixth position, the ticket car developed an electrical problem after developing an electrical problem, and before losing more time it was needed to reset it as Kiro also decided to change the front wing. Was.

Hot-headed Tiktam reacted through team radio in such a way that there were 10 oaths-something that was later published on social media.

There is another case, whether the Kiro driver was socially authority to engage in such exchange. what is important, By January 2025, the oath has been taken; Pressure of a change by FIA President Mohammad Ben Sulem,

It was closed from behind Max Verustapen is receiving a community service punishment for swearing in a Formula 1 press conferenceWhich he served further from the December FIA Award, while the ceremony in Rwanda Charles Lakeler imposed a fine for his own F-Bomb during an interview,

However, Appendix B, updated to the International Sporting Code published in January, punished for the swearing -in and later punished that may eventually be banned for continuous violations of misconduct to drivers.

Nevertheless, the tantrum of the ticket will not see him punished by the organization.

An FIA spokesperson said: “Stewards has been made aware and has decided that in the context of radio communication with the team and not during the media interview.”

A similar incident happened in the same weekend as the World Rally Championship Star Edrian Formokes became the first driver to be charged under the new rules.

On Sunday, the Hyundai driver used F-10 in a television interview, imposing a fine of € 10,000. An interesting party note was that the fine should have been € 30,000 based on Fia’s criteria, but Steward in Sweden suspended € 20,000 – massive because it was in his second language and “intended to be” aggressively. “.

This is why the case with the ticket is interesting, because first, Britain was speaking in its original tongue, and second because it was definitely aggressive. The difference is that the ticket was not speaking during a live press conference or interview, as in the case of Vastapane, Lakeler and Formox.

However, it was broadcast through the unfliest Real-Time Formula E app and was quickly played on social media.

It is true whether the oath of drivers is correct or not, but the crystal needs to be clear from the beginning of this F1 season which is allowed and what is not.

It now sets the example where the drivers are deemed good to take an oath through team radio, but not in media interviews – a significant difference, so unless it is the decision of the FIA ​​and the punishment of its punishment Creates continuity with it.
