F1 champion Verstappen is a man of few words after he’s punished for….

After being punished by the FIA for swearing, F1 champion Max Verstappen kept his responses short at a Singapore Grand Prix press conference, likely in silent protest. Verstappen had been ordered to complete community work after using explicit language to describe his car.

FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem’s recent crackdown on language has sparked tension with drivers, with Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris both speaking out against the punishment. Verstappen, however, later clarified that his silence was not directed at the event’s host but at the FIA’s rule change.
