Lucas di Grassi discussed Max Verstappen’s punishment for swearing during an exclusive RacingNews365 interview.
Lucas di Grassi defended Max Verstappen, disagreeing with the FIA’s regulation of swearing in racing, claiming it is “completely wrong.” Verstappen was required to do community service after swearing in a press conference before the Singapore Grand Prix. Di Grassi, a Formula E racer, limits his radio communication during races and is mindful of his children watching. He believes that swearing is common in music and sports, questioning the severity of the punishment. The FIA also fined World Rally champion Sebastien Ogier for similar reasons, prompting Di Grassi to suggest that teams should handle a driver’s behavior, not the FIA. Ultimately, Di Grassi opposes the FIA’s approach to regulating such issues.
