FIA steward Johnny Herbert gives his view on Max Verstappen's penalty for swearing in Singapore.
Verstappen was hit with a community service penalty for swearing during Thursday’s FIA press conference at the Singapore Grand Prix.
The Red Bull driver protested the penalty by not answering questions properly in either press conference after qualifying or the race, opting to speak to the media in the paddock instead. “There is more swearing than there ever has been. A press conference is not the place 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 which I think is the right thing. Most drivers don’t swear.
