Verstappen’s swearing row with FIA

Swearing became a hot topic last season when 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen was punished for swea🌳ring in an FIA press conference at the Singapore Grand Prix.

The four-time world champio꧃n was ordered to complete some “work of public interest”, which he labelled as “ridiculous” at the time.

Verstappen served his FIA work in Rwanꦫda ahead of picking up his fourth world championship trophy at the end-🃏of-season prize giving ceremony in December.

At the time of his pe🍬nalty, Verstappen admitted such punishments could speed up his exit from F1.

"These kinds of things definitely decide my future as well, when you c♏an’t be yourself or you have to deal with these kinds of silly things," he said.

"Now I am at the stage of🐻 my career where you don’t want to be dealing with this all the time. It’s really tiring.

"For me, that is not a way of continuing in the sport, that’s for🐭 sure."
