Jos Verstappen criticises the FIA's punishment for his son Max Verstappen amid F1 swearing saga.
Three-time world champion Verstappen has been handed an effective community service order for using an expletive when describing the recent performance of his Red Bull during Thursday’s press conference before the Singapore Grand Prix.
“I think that is the most ridiculous thing”, the former grand prix driver said. “But we also see it in rally.Verstappen staged a protest against his punishment by offering a “no comment” response to most questions in the post-qualifying press conference on Saturday in Singapore. Verstappen gave slightly longer answers in Sunday’s post-race press conference before once again holding a separate session for the attending media in the paddock."For sure. Yeah. I mean, these kinds of things definitely decide my future as well,” Verstappen replied when asked if such things would play into decisions over his future.
