Max Verstappen caused a stir with a press conference dominated by “no comment” responses ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix, avoiding questions on FIA, racing guidelines, and penalty points. Verstappen expressed caution due to the risk of accumulating another penalty point and potentially facing suspension for critical comments. He highlighted the challenge of freely expressing opinions in an FIA setting and the consequences of being interpreted as critical. Even informal chats with the media are approached with caution to avoid repercussions. Verstappen’s decision to remain tight-lipped contrasts with other drivers who have publicly criticized the penalty points system, emphasizing the strict FIA regulations on comments that can cause moral injury.
