Verstappen could quit over swearing penalty

The Straits Times

|

September 24, 2024

Max Verstappen suggested he could turn his back on Formula One sooner than expected if the sport's governing body stopped him having fun and being himself.

Red Bull's three-time world champion was ordered by stewards to do "community work of public interest" with the International Automobile Federation (FIA) after he used a swear word in a press conference at the Singapore Grand Prix on Sept 19.

The penalty, which he described as "super silly", led the Dutch driver to subsequently stage a one-man protest by giving only short answers or offering "no comment" to reporters in the official FIA post-qualifying press conference on Sept 21.

He did the same after finishing second in the night race behind McLaren rival Lando Norris on Sept 22, using the opportunity to explain further why he felt so strongly about the penalty.
