The world champion must attend the stewards for use of language earlier in the Singapore weekend.
Max Verstappen has been summoned by the Singapore Grand Prix stewards for swearing during the FIA press conference on Thursday. FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem expressed a desire to see a decrease in swear words used in F1 broadcasts. Verstappen referred to his Red Bull as “fucked” during the drivers’ press conference in Azerbaijan qualifying. Despite being cautioned by the host, he continued, questioning the need to censor language. Verstappen faces allegations of breaching Article 12.2.1.k of the International Sporting Code for his choice of words. In a similar incident, Mercedes and Ferrari team principals were given formal warnings for using profanity at the Las Vegas Grand Prix in 2023.
