Max Verstappen has made a damning claim about his F1 future, as the FIA penalty against him for using inappropriate language has raised questions about driver authenticity. At the start of the F1 race weekend in Singapore, multiple reports claimed that the drivers were told to reign in their language while talking to the media or on team radios. The use of abusive language is something that the FIA president wanted to cut down on.
The first driver who broke this rule was Max Verstappen in the press conference when he made a few comments about his car in Baku. To the surprise of many, this led to a situation where the driver was told to visit the stewards and ended up getting a penalty to do community service for a specified period.
Verstappen did not take this lying down, as the Red Bull driver made it a point to answer questions in monosyllables in the post-qualifying FIA press conference. The driver instead held an impromptu press meeting outside of the FIA conference room, where he addressed the media's questions in detail.
