Celestial Sports Formula 1 reporter Ted Kravitz forced to apologise after dropping the F-bomb during live broadcast Singapore Grand Prix.
The accident occurred during coverage of the first round of free trains on the Marina Bay Street Circuit, on the sixth day of the exhibition.
Kravitz, one of the most experienced and knowledgeable Formula 1 specialists in the world, was in the Ferrari office to comment on the design of his car.
But as he analyzed it, the pit lane reporter found the words before muttering: “Oh, that's bullshit.” Sorry, let's do this again.
The broadcast was cut short in front of main presenter Simon Lazenby, who later apologised for his words and reinstated Kravitz into the coverage.
“I apologize for any words you may have heard earlier, but let's get back to pit lane and Ted in the second take.”
Kravitz then explained that a snippet of the clip was accidentally aired instead of the pre-recorded final segment.
“Simon, I can hardly add more, my apologies on my part.
“Just to warn you, we are alive now – when we show cars for show, which I have recorded before, I look for perfection, but sometimes I can't find it.
“And if I made a mistake on the first take and then got frustrated with myself, sometimes I would say one word.
“Obviously this game was never supposed to be played, and it’s our fault and we assume that. Sorry that this thing, which was never supposed to be touched, is over.
“It happens on TV sometimes, so there's no apology for that. We'll try to do better next time.
This incident occurred just one day after FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem I have asked F1 drivers to reduce words. During playback, stations stop displaying radio messages from devices with foreign languages.
This request was not well received by the drivers, especially Max Verstappen and the now championship leader was called to the stewards for dropping the F-bomb during the GP5 press conference.
Lewis Hamilton understood what Ben Sulayem was saying, but then objected. Compare xingador bikers to “rappers”.
“We have to differentiate between our sport and rap music,” the president said. “We are not rappers.
“How many times a minute do they use the F-word?” Imagine you're sitting with your kids watching a bullfight and someone is talking all this language.
“I don't like the way he put it. Hamilton said that “the rapper” Deezer is very stereotypical.
“You think most rappers are black, and then they say, ‘We’re not like them.’ I understand that’s a wrong choice of words and there’s a racist element to it.
