168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen has claimed people “can’t handle the full truth” as he refused to explain his frustration at his F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix penalty.
The four-time world champion was handed a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:five-second time penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage as he went wheel-to-wheel with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri at Turn 1 during the 𝄹start of Sunday’s r𒀰ace in Jeddah.
Verstappen, who♛ took pole position, finished second to the McLaren driver and cut-short his interview on ✅the grid immediately after the race finished.
Speaking in the FIA press conference, the D𝔍utchman continued to be tight-lipped when fielding questions about ♛the incident.
“Yeah, the start happened, Turn 1 happened, and suddenly it was lap 5▨0. It just all went super-fast,” Verstappen said.
“The problem is that I cannot share m♏y opinion about it because 💛I might get penalised also. So it's better not to speak about it.
“I think it's better not to talk about it. Anything I🌠 say or try to say about it, it might get me in trouble.”
The penalty angered Red Bull who 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:presented evidence to dispute it - though the team are not set to protest.
Why Max Verstappen didn't want to talk about penalty

Verstappen made it clear he was unhappy with the decision but would not ela🍸borate further because he feared getting in trouble with F1’s g🦂overning body the FIA.
The 27-year-old was ordered to “accomplish some work of public interest” after he swore ﷺin a pres🦂s conference at last year’s Singapore Grand Prix.
New driver guidelines were introduced ahead of the 2025 season to clampdown on swearing. F1 drivers can now receive fines and potential bans for "any words, deeds or writings ♚that have caused moral injury or loss to the FIA".
Asked whether concern about possible retribution from the FIA was behind hiꦰs silence, Verstappen replied: “I think it's just💃 the world we live in. You can't share fully your opinion because it's not appreciated, apparently. Or people can't handle the full truth.
“For🐼 me, I mean, honestly, it's better if I don't need to say too much. It also saves my time because we already have to do so much, you know. So yeah, it's honestly j🌳ust how everything is becoming.
“I know t🌠hat I cannot swear here. But at the same time, yo🌌u can also not be critical. Let me get the sheet out: there's a lot of lines [of things you cannot say or do in press conferences], you know.
“So that's why it'𒅌s better not to talk about it. Because you can put yourself in troubl🔜e and I don't think anyone wants that.”
He added: "It has 𝔍to do with social media in general, and how the world is. prefer not to talk a lot because some♛times your words can be twisted or people interpret it in a different way. It's honestly better not to say too much."
