FIA stewards have punished WRC driver Adrien Fourmaux for swearing in a post-stage interview at Rally Sweden, which sets a precedent for other championships governed by the FIA to follow.

The World Rally Championship’s Adrien Fourmaux has become the first driver sanctioned under the new FIA stewards’ penalty guidelines.

Having finished the Rally Sweden power stage on Sunday, the Frenchman used the F-word during his post-stage interview, which was broadcast live.

In response, the stewards handed him a €30,000 fine, with €20,000 of that suspended for 12 months. In accordance to the FIA International Sporting Code (ISC), the first €10,000 must be paid within 48 hours of notification.
