F1 steward Johnny Herbert has detailed the reasons for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’sꦬ punish🍌ment for swearing during an FIA press conference.

Verstappen was hit with a community service penalty for swearing during Thursday’s FIA pr💙ess⛦ conference at the Singapore Grand Prix.

The Dutchman had said the word “fuc*ed” in relation ꦏto Red Bull’s performance at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Verstappen’s comment coincided🐎 with FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem’s desire to clampdown on swearing ahead of the weekend.

The Red Bull driver protested the pe꧂nalty by not answering questions properly in either press conference after qualifying or the race, opting to speak to the media in the paddock instead.

Herbert, who is an experienced steward for the FIA a﷽nd on duty in Singapore, gave his view on the situation.

Speaking to Casino Hawks, Herbert said: “At the press conference in Singapore, Max [Verstappen] used the ‘F’ word about his🌳 car. The press conferences are beamed around the world.

“There is more swearing than there ever has been. A press conference is not the placeꩵ for it. Some journalists have said the sport is trying to make robots out of the drivers. That’s not the case. You are just asking them not to swear whic✨h I think is the right thing. Most drivers don’t swear.

“The incident was referred to us as stewards. We had a good open chat with Max for about 20 minutes, half an hour, in what was a difficult situation. You ওcould see in his f𝓀ace he was really worked up about it. But when he left, he appeared to be mollified about the process and why it’s there. He did not blame us as stewards.

“As stewards we have a range of tools to puni﷽sh drivers. We are there to implement the rules and make a decision together. We could have fined him, but we felt it would be more beneficial to get him to do something socially responsible. It is up to Max and the FIA what that is.”

Herbert admits he ♛loves that Verstappen showed a “rebellious streak” but remained adamant that swearing is unacceptable.

“It all blew up afterwards beca🦋use he went to the press conference and gave one word answers then held his own impromptu press conference outside in the paddock,” Herbert🔥 added.

“That showed Max’s rebellious streak. I love that side of him, it is wh🌸at makes Max, Max, his honest and outspoken character. But there is a time and a place. Personally, I think there is too much swearing. I don’t want my five-year-old grandchild listening to that sort of🔯 language.”
