168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has been advised to stop “🦹wasting energy” o🍒n protesting against the FIA.

Formula 1’😼s governing body angered Verstappen by giving him a community service punishment for swearing in a press conference in Singapore.

Versಌtappen described his underperforming Red Bull as “f*****” which prompted the FIA to step in.

The F1 champion protested by refusing to answer properly at t🌠he following press conferences, while Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norꦆris backed him.

But Sky𝐆 Sports’ Martin Brundle told Verstappen about the FIA: “They are the referee, they are the police, the judge and the 💙jury.

“I don’t know why Max is waꦦsting his enജergy, I really don’t.

“Over swearing? He’s a world champion, a triple-champion who could be a quadruple🍌-champion soon.

“What’s the point?

“He is a role model. He represents Formu🃏l🎐a 1, he represents his team, he represents his country.

“He wants to speak however he wants to. But gratuitou⛦s swearing ♏in press conferences?

“Really, is it necessary? What’s the point?”

Ver🐼stappen holds a 52-p🍌oint lead ahead of Norris in the F1 drivers’ championship.

This weekend’s F1 United States Grand Prix offers McLaren’s Norris his latest op🎶portun🎉ity to chip away at Verstappen’s lead.

“He’s g𝓡ot the speed. The💮 team have a great car,” Brundle said.

“Lando is learning, growing, becomꩵing more comfortable.

“Chasing and being chased are different stories in any🔜 sport.

“When he gets near to winning the championship, this year or next yea𓂃r,♍ how strong is his head?

“You don’t kn🐻ow with anybody until tha💝t moment arrives.

“But he has the raw speed.”

Norris 'learned' from Austria scrap

Br☂undle insisted that Norris’ ꦺincreasing experience of a championship battle will benefit him.

“Mas﷽sive,” Brundle described the additioꦚn of experience to Norris’ arsenal.

“In Austria we saw them trip over each other. Lando underestimated his mate, Max, and h🉐ow aggressive he would be in combat.

“He learned from that.

“He is still on an [upwards] slope in terms of learning. Winning races🌠, he has started to do that. Leading from pole, he has sorted that out.

“The way he won in Hollan𓆏d and Singap🐽ore were just incredible.

“All of those things will give him confidence.”
