- World champion unhappy with irrelevant crackdown
- George Russell not on speaking terms with Dutchman
Max Verstappen has accused the Formula One governing body, the FIA, of failing to focus on the issues that matter after what he believes is an irrelevant crackdown on swearing.
The FIA recently announced rule amendments that will impose heavy fines for swearing and may even lead to race bans. Verstappen fell foul of the rules last season when he was given a community service punishment for swearing in a press conference.
