168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen has b𒅌een advised to stop “wasting energy” on 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.

Verstappen described his underperꦫforming Red Bull as “f*****” which prompte🐽d the FIA to step in.

The F1 champion protested by re🧜fusing to answer properly at the following press conferences, while Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris backed him.

But Sky Sports’ Martin Brundle told Verstappen about the FIA: “They are the referee, they are the police, the judge an🥀d the jury.

“I don’t know why Max is wasting his energy,ไ I really ൲don’t.

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

“What’s the point?

“He is a role model. He represents Formula 1, he represents his team, he represent🍬s his country.

“He wants to speak however he wants to. But gratuitous swearing in pres♉s conferences?

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

Verstappen holds a 52-point🍸⛄ lead ahead of Norris in the F1 drivers’ championship.

This weekend’s F1 United States Grand Prix offers McLaren’s Norris his late⭕st opportunity to chip away a♍t Verstappen’s lead.

“He’s 🃏got the speed. The team have a♏ great car,” Brundle said.

“Lando is learning, growing, beco♑ming more comfortable.

“Chasing and beinꦏg 🐼chased are different stories in any sport.

“When he gets near to winning the champi✨onship, this year or next꧅ year, how strong is his head?

“You⛦ don’t know with anybody until that moment arrives.

“But he has the raw speed.”

Norris 'learned' from Austria scrap

Br🍒undle insisted that Norris’ iওncreasing experience of a championship battle will benefit him.

“Massive,” Brundle described t👍he addition of exper꧑ience to Norris’ arsenal.

“In Austria we saw them trip over eachꦡ other. Lando underestimated his mate, Max, and how 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 s♛orted that out.

“The way he won in Holland and Singapore were just increౠdible.

“All of those things will give him confidence.”
