Max Verstappen channels Jose Mourinho in response to new F1 swearing rules
Max Verstappeไn has called for "common sense" to be applied with the FIA's new misconduct rules.
F1 world champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen channelled his inner 🀅Jose Mourinho in response to the FIA’s n𓂃ew swearing and misconduct rules.
Verstappen was ordered to “accomplish some work of public interest” at the end of 2024 after using 🐈an expletive during an FIA press conference at last year’s Singapore Grand Prix.
Last month, the FIA introduced new guidelines which could result in F1 drivers receiving fines, points deductions and even potential race bans for violating the rule🌱s by criticising the governing body or swearing.
FIA presidenꦉt Mohammed Ben Sulayem has been on a mission to clampdown on swearing in F1, a topic which ♐has caused friction with the drivers, who were not consulted about the changes before they were implemented.
“If ಞpreꦉfer not to speak about that, it might get me in trouble. So it’s better not to answer that,” Verstappen said when asked for his thoughts during a press conference ahead of the F1 season launch event at the O2 in London.
Hyundai World Rally Championship driver Adrien Fourmaux b🐎ecame the first driver to be fined for swearing since the new🌼 guidelines were issued.

“I prefer not to speak about that, 🐟it might get me in trou🐲ble”
Fourmaux was fined €10,000 with a further €20,000 fine suspended for saying “we f****d up” during an interview for the championship’s official streaming service Rally 🔜TV.
However, F1 drivers could be h♕it with fines totalling €40,000 fo🌺r the same offence.
In Formula E, the FIA opted not to pu💖nish Dan🅠 Ticktum for his profanity-laden outburst - containing at least 10 expletives - during a race in Saudi Arabia last weekend.
The lack of FIA action in this case suggests F1’s governing body will be more lenient approach to swearing over team rඣadio during races.
Speaking later to media including , Verstappen did elaborate further🅠.
“It's a lot of money,” he said. “Honestly,♛ from my 🐼side, I think it's not necessary to be like that with the rules. I think you need to use a bit of common sense.
“Besides, I prefer that we actually focus on other topics to try and improve safety, to try and improve the overall performance of Formula 1 cars, i♈nstead of actually having to focus on all these kinds of things. It's a bit unnecessary, I think. I think it’s a bit much.”
Verstappen described it as a “complicated matter” but stressed he would share his opinion with Ben Sulayem if the FIA president reached ou🌠t to him for his views.
