Verstappen ‘not over the limit’ with punishment branded ‘not nice’
Former F1 driver Felipe Massa defended Max Verstappen in the swear-gate incident, where Verstappen used the f-word during an official press conference. Verstappen was expected to receive a formal warning, but instead, he must complete some form of community service determined by the FIA. Steward Johnny Herbert explained the decision to penalize Verstappen. Massa believes the sanction was unjustified, stating that drivers should be allowed to express themselves, especially in high-pressure situations on the track. He emphasized the need for the sport to allow for spontaneity and emotions during competitive moments.
