Max Verstappen has been ordered by the FIA to perform 'work of public interest' after using inappropriate language during a press conference at the Singapore Grand Prix. The incident occurred when Verstappen referred to his car as 'f*****' while discussing its performance at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The FIA's ruling cited a breach of Article 12.2.1.k of the International Sporting Code, which defines such language as misconduct. Although Verstappen explained that the term is common in his native speech and apologized, the FIA emphasized the importance of maintaining suitable language in public forums. This mandate follows FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem's call for less swearing from drivers, who are seen as role models. Verstappen's on-track performance in Singapore mirrored his off-track troubles, as he struggled with grip issues and finished 15th in FP2.
