F1 chief blasted by the drivers

Formula One drivers blasted the "tone and language" used by FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem amid a row over swearing at press conferences.

In an open letter, the Grand Prix Drivers' Association (GPDA) also demanded that competitors be treated like adults.

Several drivers, including three-time world champion Max Verstappen of the Netherlands and Monaco's Charles Leclerc, were recently sanctioned by the FIA for swearing at a press conference.

And Ben Sulayem has spoken out in favour of measures to ensure drivers no longer use foul language.
