Max Verstappen made a bold statement at the press conference by keeping his answers extremely short in protest of his ‘community service’ punishment for swearing earlier.
After the brief session, he only spoke to journalists outside the press room.
Not long after, Jonathan Wheatley was seen talking with Tim Mayer. Mayer later chatted with Johnny Herbert, Roman de Lauw, and Tom Clarkson. The media noticed these discussions, but their exact content remains a mystery.
Did Verstappen Bring Formula 1 into Disrepute?
In Formula 1, everyone must respect the sport. If not, penalties can follow. Some might think Verstappen’s actions in Singapore hurt F1’s image. But even though his answers were brief, he followed the rules.
An FIA spokesperson confirmed that Verstappen won’t face any punishment. “No, he took part in the FIA Press Conference as required by the procedures,” they said.
Fans might find this news surprising.
