Last weekend in Azerbaijan, the Dutchman expressed frustration over the balance of his Red Bull RB20 car, using curse words to describe it, as he struggled to match team mate Sergio Perez. Verstappen indicated that a different set-up led to his issues during qualifying. The topic of drivers using strong language has sparked discussions in the paddock, with the FIA aiming to regulate bad language on broadcasts. Verstappen’s remarks have not satisfied the FIA, as they consider it a breach of the International Sporting Code. This is not the first time the FIA has acted on foul language, with recent warnings issued to team bosses in Las Vegas last November. The incidents involving Ferrari’s Frederic Vasseur and Mercedes’ Toto Wolff have highlighted the FIA’s stance on inappropriate language in Formula One.
