The decision is not a surprise. I wonder if Max Verstappen has learned his lesson?
Max Verstappen was ordered by the Singapore Grand Prix stewards to complete public interest work after using swear words during an FIA press conference. The F1 champion swore while discussing changes made to his Red Bull car during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend, despite FIA’s call for respectful language on the radio. The stewards found that Verstappen’s language did not meet the FIA’s standards for public forums and role models within the sport. Although Verstappen explained that the language used was common in his language learning, he acknowledged the need to be more mindful in public settings. The stewards decided on a penalty involving Verstappen performing public interest work, as a greater consequence compared to previous cases related to offensive language. Verstappen apologized for his actions and accepted the stewards’ decision to ensure appropriate conduct in the future.
