FIA Warns F1 Bosses Wolff and Vasseur for Inappropriate Language at Las Vegas GP

The warnings followed a heated press conference after a technical issue disrupted the first practice session.

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff and Ferrari counterpart Fred Vasseur received formal warnings from the FIA for using inappropriate language at the Las Vegas Grand Prix press conference.
The incident occurred after a loose water drain cover damaged Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz Jr.'s car, causing the first practice session to be halted.
Both team principals were found to have breached the FIA’s international sporting code with their language, which was deemed 'unacceptable'.
The FIA noted that such language was not typical for either Wolff or Vasseur, and may have been provoked by the circumstances.
The Las Vegas Grand Prix, part of F1's push into the U.S. market, drew over 315,000 spectators and had an economic impact of $1.2 billion for Las Vegas.
