Max Verstappen, the current Formula 1 points leader, protested his community service order by refusing to answer most questions during the FIA’s press conference at the Singapore Grand Prix. Verstappen had sworn during a previous press conference, leading to the investigation and misconduct charge by the stewards. He expressed his displeasure with the punishment during the post-qualifying press conference, giving short and evasive answers. When questioned further by host Tom Clarkson, Verstappen remained vague and reluctant to elaborate. Both Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton sympathized with Verstappen, calling the situation unfair and a joke. Verstappen continued to avoid questions and later explained his decision to limit his responses, citing concerns about potential fines or penalties.
