Lewis Hamilton has criticised FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem for suggesting that Formula 1 drivers sound like 'rappers' when using swear words over team radio. Ben Sulayem said ahead of this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix that he is trying to make changes, so there is less bad language broadcast by FOM , who have control over the world feed for all F1 sessions. The FIA President told Autosport: 'I mean, we have to differentiate between our sport - motorsport - and rap music.
That's how it goes.' Shortly before being asked about Ben Sulayem's comments, Verstappen had sworn during Thursday's official press conference in Singapore when describing his struggles at last weekend's Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The 26-year-old said he is not worried about young children hearing him use foul language, given his belief that everyone will swear 'eventually'.
