F1 pundit Martin Brundle has criticized Max Verstappen for getting distracted by the fight against the FIA regarding swearing during F1 race weekends.
This affair started with the FIA president urging teams and drivers to keep a check on foul language, especially on radio messages transmitted during race sessions. These comments were discussed in a press conference ahead of the Singapore GP, where Verstappen spoke against such moves. While explaining his car's situation, he used the F word, which triggered a penalty by the FIA.
Following this, in the next few press conferences, the Red Bull driver gave largely monosyllabic replies in the usual conferences. However, he spoke to the media at length in the paddock. Meanwhile, this issue was discussed by other drivers and in the GPDA.
