FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem stated on Monday that he is contemplating 'improvements' to the regulations that impose severe penalties for misbehavior, such as swearing, in Formula 1 and other series. Competitors in rallying and F1 have had conflicts with Ben Sulayem, who is up for re-election at the year's end. World championship rally drivers reached a compromise last week. Further details are expected this week.

Max Verstappen has opposed F1's swearing rules. Appendix B, amended in January with stricter penalties, is a crucial part of the International Sporting Code. Stewards have the discretion to tailor penalties based on circumstances.

Estonian rally driver Ott Tanak reported positive progress with the FIA.
