Max Verstappen will have to face the F1 stewards at the Singapore GP for “language used” during Thursday’s driver press conference
Max Verstappen has been instructed to undertake “work of public interest” as a punishment for using inappropriate language during a Formula 1 press conference at the Singapore Grand Prix, where he described his car using a swear word. The stewards found his language breached the international sporting code related to misconduct and language standards in public forums, considering drivers as role models. Verstappen’s coarse language was deemed unsuitable for broadcast and offensive, leading to the penalty. This penalty is similar to community service and was imposed due to the need to uphold standards and protect the image of the sport. The incident coincides with FIA’s consideration of limiting the broadcast of bad language in F1, a topic discussed by Verstappen during the press conference.
