A call on Leclerc's use of language in Mexico is expected on Friday amid bias comments from Max Verstappen
The FIA is still considering whether or not it will investigate Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc for swearing in Mexico's press conference, with a call expected on Friday. In Sunday's post-race press conference Leclerc used an expletive to describe his mindset as he went off the track at Mexico's final corner, which allowed McLaren driver Lando Norris through to claim second.
com has since learned the FIA is still set to make a call on Leclerc, having to wait until its stewards panel has travelled to Brazil so they can convene and look into the matter. A decision on whether Leclerc will be investigated is expected on Friday. After his swearing penalty Verstappen held a protest in the FIA's official press conferences in Singapore, and his case led to unease among other drivers over how severely FIA president Mohamed Ben Sulayem was clamping down on swearing.
