Sebastian Vettel apologised to race director for outburst

Drivers are not there to please you or be role models for your kids. If you think your lack in parenting skills is a good excuse to blame it on what someone says on TV then I've news for you. Drivers or anyone on TV don't owe it to anyone to be something more just so society can chime in some useless banter about finer points of conduct.

Get over yourself.

Vettel and the other drivers are role models. I'm sure that we parents can still guide our kids to using proper language still. But the FIA wants to broadcast their races and I am sure they do not want the rating PG.

He should be penalised somehow.

Next race you can explain why Vettel isn't driving. On the Dutch variant they are mentioning that Todt is looking into it. (according to the Sun, I do not know how reliable that source is).

@MCLARENFAN1968 Every person that is a role model, even you for the young readers on this website.

Everybody that is Broadcasted/posted/printed/heared etc is a possible role model for somebody in the world.

If you do not see that, you should not post anywhere.

Nope, only the stupid or people looking for excuses for their failures look for role models to blame on.

Is DR002 looking for an excuse? No he took his responsibility by explaining to his child that that kind of behaviour is unacceptable under any circumstances...

But with the drivers in the F1 that should not be neccesary. They are old and wise enough to know what is deccent and what is not.

The problem is that most childs do not let his/her mom and dad decide on who takes the role model part for them. They decide that on their own :) Or does your kid let you decide who (s)he sees as a role model?

The parents are supped to be the one controlling and steering what their kids should learn, it it not upto the TV personality or people seen on TV to be all PC clean for your kids. Grow up and be accountable. You are giving pathetic excuses for your lack of parenting skills. It's not the world' job to be nice so that your kids can grow up well if you cant do that don't have kids, simple.

Nice parenting... not

For a four time World Champion, he looks really frustrated. He is a roll modell for that reason and he should be aware of it. He chose this scene to perform in than you should also act like it.
I really hope Vettel will be penalised for his behaviour, it's immature and unapropriate. Max made some comments over the radio and corrected himself to be more aware of his saying.
Question here who is acting like an adult?

If you are looking for examples from TV then you are the biggest fail as a parent. Hopefully you lot are incapable of having kids or else they suffer from poor lazy 'role model' mimicking type parenting.

I am not looking at tv for examples. I have kids and they do pick up words from anywhere and it takes a while to get them out of their heads. But I would not say they did well if they talk like that. As you did.

I'm assuming you have no kids. And you are a disgrace with your behaviour here.

You are a total joke as parent, YOU are supped to be the one controlling and steering what your kids should learn, it it not upto the TV personality or people seen on TV to be all PC clean for your kids. Grow up and be accountable you lazy whiner.

Describable. I pity your kids, serioulsy o.O

You realise you are just repeating yourself ignoring all arguments. Please go back to the Dutch side of this website where you would fit in better.

You do you realize you are being silly and expecting the world to be nice for your kids to grow up while you do nothing in terms of parenting? Obvious parenting fail is obvious. Don't be lazy ;)

Damn right! but the internets are filled with politically correct SJWs seeking "justice" and what not ROFLMAO.

Bunch of whiny piss-heads really. Vettel spoke his mind, pretty much what most fans wanted to tell the FIA with their sloppy decisions and slow inconsistent penalties.

Hey Kevin, mate, I totally understand Vettel’s rant at Max, and I’ve got no problem with the level of emotion he showed toward Max (which was appropriately blanked out), but only up until the point that he threatened to punch someone, and up until the point that he abused the ‘ref’ in an aggressive and foul mouthed manner; regardless of whether it was in the heat of the moment or not….. In fact, I really haven’t even got a problem that the exchange was broadcast, so long as there are consequences for such aggressive and disrespectful behaviour….. If my kids were to take away from last Sunday’s race that Vettel’s actions were excusable to the extent that there were no consequences, and if they were to act like that on the soccer field next weekend, I’d be shattered.

Nope they are not, grow up and be accountable on your own as a parent. Obvious lazy parenting is obvious.
