Ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen made headlines with his “no comment” responses at a press conference, avoiding questions regarding the FIA and penalty points system in Formula 1. Verstappen expressed the need to avoid accumulating penalty points to prevent a race suspension. Despite being asked repeatedly about his on-track approach, he remained firm in his stance of not commenting further. Verstappen later explained that he feels restricted in sharing critical opinions about the FIA due to potential consequences. He highlighted the risk of any comments being interpreted as criticism and resulting in punishment, causing him to remain cautious in his interactions with the media and even informal chats with Dutch press. Despite other drivers questioning the penalty points system, Verstappen chooses to stay silent to prevent any misunderstandings or repercussions according to the FIA rules.
