The new Formula One swearing ban has been met with plenty of reaction ahead of the season-opening Melbourne Grand Prix. During the off-season, the FIA codified a ban on swearing as part of their misconduct regulations.

Drivers will face both bans and hefty fines if they are caught using obscene language over their team radios for the first time in Australia.

Max Verstappen described the ban as ‘not necessary’ while Lewis Hamilton classed it as a ‘joke’ and earlier this month, McLaren’s Oscar Piastri slammed the penalties as being too harsh.

Violating the misconduct regulations the first time will incur a €40,000 (£34,000) fine for an F1 driver while a second offence would see a fine of €80,000 (£68,000) and a suspended one-month suspension. A third offence would be punished with a €120,000 (£102,000) fine, plus a one-month suspension and the deduction of championship points.

Mail Sport decided to find who is likely to get fined the most this season by asking none other than the drivers themselves on the red carpet at the F175 event in London, with two stand out names and one interesting call from Alex Albon.

George Russell, who will have a new partner this year following Hamilton’s move to Ferrari in the form of Andrea Antonelli, said: Probably Max (Verstappen). He can afford it.’

Max Verstappen is looking to once again defend his world title but will be up against it

Carlos Sainz, who Hamilton will replace in red and therefore will join Williams, agreed, adding: ‘Max. 100 per cent Max.’

Antonelli argued: ‘Maybe Yuki (Tsunoda). Everyone will try to respect it but it’s going to be really hard with all the emotions,’ and Tsunoda himself admitted: ‘Maybe me. Or Max. It’s between Max and me.’

Liam Lawson, who will partner Verstappen at Red Bull this year, agreed, saying: ‘Either Yuki or Max,’ while Lance Stroll suggested: ‘We’re all going to struggle. It was Max who kicked it off last year but Yuki’s a contender.’

Albon, however, pointed to one of the newer members of the grid. ‘People would think it’s Yuki but Isack (Hadjar) is going to be in a lot of trouble,’ he said. Hadjar will race for Racing Bulls in his debut season.
