“I know the car is broken“said Max Verstappen when talking about his car in the middle of the Singapore GP. At that time, the overall leader was punished by the FIA for doing community service for swearing at a press conference. What happened in that episode set a precedent.
The FIA decided that Max should “compulsorily carry out some work of public interest in liaison with the FIA Secretary General of Sport.” This time it’s up to Charles Leclerc. The Monegasque driver, before he finished in third position in the Sprint classification of the Brazilian GP, He was called to testify for using profanity in the press conference after the Mexican GP.
The controversy has been more than the usual topic of conversation in recent weeks in F1, both in Austin and in Mexico. And now he is spraying Leclerc. The Monegasque man let out a few curses after finishing third in Mexico and now receiving due punishment.
“I oversteer and then when I recovered I had an oversteer from the other side and then it was like ‘nonsense‘“said the Ferrari driver. Realizing this, Leclerc apologized, laughing, referring to the penalty that Max had a few weeks ago: “I’m sorry Oh, I don’t want this to happen to me like Max.”.
The FIA’s harsh stance came after Verstappen complained, suggesting he was the only one to receive punishment for the insults. “Apparently it only applies to me, because after the race in Mexico, someone insulted me (in reference to Leclerc). It’s strange,” said the general leader.
So, the FIA called Charles Leclerc to testify for the bad words he said in the press conference. After his third position this afternoon in the Sprint classificationthe Monegasque is obliged to attend after what is said in Mexico.
