Sky Sports swearing blooper as F1 clamps down on foul language
F1 broadcaster𝓰 picks awkward time to accidentally swear on TV

Sky Sports ac𝓀cidentally broadca🌄st a blooper featuring swear words on a weekend where F1 is trying to clamp down on bad language.
Ted Kravitz’s pitlane strol𝓰l ahead of Friday practice at the Singapore Grand Prix seemed no🧸rmal until he unleashed an unexpected swear word.
It later transpired tha❀t the segment was pre-recorded and should 💛never have been broadcast at all.
When Kravitz later reappeared, this time on live television, he issu♋ed an apology to viewers.
“Big apologies. Apologies 🌃from my side,” Kravitz said.
“Just to let you know we’re live now. When the cars come ꩵout for the car presentation, which we recorded 𒊎earlier, I seek perfection but sometimes I don’t get it.
“If I mess up a first take, and then I’m frustrated at myꦦself. Sometimes there’s a naughty word that comes out.
“Obviously that was never meant to be played. That’s our mistake, so we’re owning that. I apologise that that take which was not mea🌺nt to be played, it got played out.
“This happens in television sometimes so 🤪apologiesꦇ for that. We seek to do better next time so many apologies for that.”
Awkwardly, the swearing blooper occurred at a time when F1 are specifically trying to curb the lan🔯guage of its drivers.
Max Verstappen was hit with an FIA punishment - s🀅hortly after Kravitz’s slip-up - for swearing during Thursday’s press conference.
The FIA hit Verstappen with an "obligation to accomplish some work of public interest" after his bad language, which he put down to speaking in English, his non-native tongue🍨.
Verstappen had previously complained about the clampdown on language: “Even if a five-year-old or six-year-old is watching, they 💝will eventually swear anyway.
“When they grow up, they will walk around with their friends and they will be swearing, so this is not changing anyꦍthi𒁃ng.”
