r/formula1 is reopening as NSFW to "comply to the fullest extent of our abilities with these changes":

Formula 1 is inherently dangerous. Crashes and injuries are not uncommon - some even with fatal results. These incidents are discussed on r/formula1, and videos, images and other media are posted following these events.

Formula 1 includes messaging and sponsors that are connected to alcohol, tobacco and gambling - all of which are legislatively prohibited or age restricted in various locations. We cannot prevent these from being displayed to underaged users, as they are incorporated in general Formula 1 imagery and content.

Formula 1 is known for, both in the past and today, to include certain risque imagery that fall within the NSFW space.

Reddit’s User Agreement states that “Children under the age of 13 are not allowed to create an Account or otherwise use the Services.” - As such it stands to reason that persons under legal age participate in r/formula1.

Switching our classification means Reddit’s age verification shields underage users from being exposed to content considered harmful.
