(AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell) PARIS (AP) — Formula 1's governing body has reduced penalties on drivers for swearing after the new misconduct rules had sparked a backlash. The updated code announced Wednesday slashes the swearing fine on F1 drivers from 40,000 euros ($45,000) to 5,000 euros ($5,600) with the first offense now suspended. The rule will apply to 'controlled' events like news conferences — not during races. Advertisement 'As a former rally driver, I know firsthand the range of emotions that are faced during competition,' FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem said in the announcement ahead of the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix. Ben Sulayem signaled before the Miami Grand Prix that changes would be made around the misconduct penalties, which were instituted for 2025 to allow for larger fines and suspensions for drivers who swear repeatedly. F1 drivers and others across the various events the FIA governs reacted negatively, prompting what Ben Sulayem called 'an extensive and collaborative review.' ___ AP auto racing:

Alpine principal Oliver Oakes listens to reporters during a press conference ahead of the Formula One Miami Grand Prix auto race, Friday, May 2, 2025, in Miami Gardens, Fla. (AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell) LONDON (AP) — Oliver Oakes' resignation as team principal of F1 team Alpine this week came several days after UK police charged his brother with transferring criminal property. Metropolitan Police said William Oakes, 31, was charged last Friday after being stopped the day before in the Silverstone Park area 'in possession of a large amount of cash.' Advertisement Police said he was remanded in custody after an appearance before the Northampton Magistrates' Court on Saturday. It wasn't clear who his attorney is to seek comment. Oliver Oakes had joined Alpine from his junior team, Hitech Grand Prix, where William Oakes also was listed as a director. Hitech did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday. Oliver Oakes, who is not accused of any wrongdoing, had been Alpine's team principal for less than a year when his resignation was announced on Tuesday. A day later, the team confirmed it had changed its driver lineup to promote Franco Colapinto for at least the next five Grand Prix races at the expense of Jack Doohan. Alpine is ninth in the F1 constructors' standings after six rounds. The next race weekend is May 16-18 at Imola. ___ AP auto racing:

(Shawn Thew/Pool Photo via AP) LONDON (AP) — Formula 1 team Alpine has changed its driver lineup to promote Franco Colapinto for at least the next five Grand Prix races at the expense of Jack Doohan. Alpine confirmed the change Wednesday, a day after Oliver Oakes quit as team principal. The team said Flavio Briatore will continue as executive advisor and will cover Oakes' duties. Advertisement 'Colapinto will be paired with Pierre Gasly from the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, ahead of a new evaluation before the British Grand Prix in July," Alpine said in a statement. Alpine is ninth in the F1 constructors' standings. At Sunday's Miami Grand Prix, Doohan ran into another car on the opening lap and then crashed on the second lap. Media reports of a driver change were dismissed ahead of the Miami GP weekend by Oakes, who had indicated that the rookie Australian driver would still be in the seat at Imola. Doohan, who didn't score a point in his five races, will remain with the team as a reserve driver. ___ AP auto racing:

3 busted in sex trafficking sting during week of F-1 Miami Grand Prix: officials
Miami-Dade County 3 busted in sex trafficking sting during week of F-1 Miami Grand Prix: officials Investigators arrested three men during a joint human trafficking sting operation headed by the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office over the weekend. Three men were arrested on human trafficking charges during a joint federal, state and local sting operation conducted to coincide with the week of the Formula One Miami Grand Prix, according to the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office. The undercover operation — dubbed Operation Grease Monkey — targeted people looking to engage in sexual acts with minors between the ages of 12 and 14 years old, prosecutors said Tuesday. The men arrested responded to ads placed by undercover detectives. When they spoke with a detective posing as pimps, they were told that minors were available for sex in exchange for money, said State Attorney's Office spokeswoman Lissette Valdes-Valle. When the men traveled to a hotel, which was not named by the State Attorney's Office, they paid the undercover officer money and were given keys to rooms where they were told the underage girls would be. Each man was arrested when he opened the hotel room door, Valdes-Valles said. The meet-ups happened between Tuesday and Friday, the State Attorney's Office said. 'The ugly crime of Human Trafficking is made even more dreadful when the intended victims are children. Sadly, individuals are looking specifically for young victims,' Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle said in a statement. 'Fortunately, as this joint effort shows, the Miami-Dade law enforcement community is united to fight such predators.' Arrested were: Daniel Xavier Oneil, 27; Tito Xavier Gutierrez, 38; and Tangir Jamil Riman, 27. Each man is charged with one count each of human trafficking, which is a first-degree felony, traveling to meet a minor for sex, a second-degree felony, and using an electronic device to solicit a parent to consent sex conduct with a child, which is a third-degree felony. As of Tuesday, Oneil and Riman were being held at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on no bond on the trafficking and traveling to meet minors charges, and a $2,500 bond for the count of using an electronic device to solicit sex. Gutierrez was being held at Metro West Detention Center on the same conditions. Attorneys for Gutierrez and Riman could not immediately be reached for comment. Information on Oneil's legal representation was not immediately available. The State Attorney's Office worked with several agencies during the multi-day operation, including the Miami, Coral Gables, Hialeah, Miami Beach, Key Biscayne, Sunny Isles and Surfside police departments, the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office and U.S. Homeland Security Investigations. Investigators ask anyone with information about human trafficking in South Florida to call the State Attorney's Office hotline at 305-FIX-STOP (305-349-7867) or to scan the agency's QR code.
