World champion Max Verstappen must carry out public interest work as punishment for swearing in an official F1 press conference
Language like that is quite common in the Netherlands, I suppose it’s all rappers there. I fail to see how this did any harm to F1, or motorsport. It is childish. This will further reduce the quality of press conferences where drivers really do not say anything but the usual: “Car was [not] running well, we are [not] confident we can run for the top places [run in the points]. We have [no] upgrades. See you after the race.”.
Fuckin hell
This absolute nonsense. Max should push this issue by not complying (maybe even add a little “fuck yous” in the message). What are they going to do? Whatever the next step would be, just ignore and do not comply.
Force the hand of the FIA to show them for what they are : idiots gatekeeping nonsense. This does nothing for the sport and it is a non-issue.
Some part of me feels this is a consequence of an American company owning F1 now and implementing these BS actions that seem to be normal in US sports. I was afraid that this mentality would come to F1 and here we are…
Kimi got out of the sport just in time I guess…
I expected this to happen, but not to the WDC.
Fuck that lol
