Charles Leclerc will face FIA over using curse word in Mexico
Charles Leclerc has been summoned by the FIA stewards at the Brazilian Grand Prix for swearing in the post-race press conference in Mexico last weekend. The Monegasque swore when describing his late-race moment in the Mexico City race, where he ran wide at the final corner as he fought hard with Lando Norris. 'I had one oversteer and then when I recovered from that oversteer, I had an oversteer from the other side and then I was like, 'f***',' he said.

Leclerc’s summons came after Verstappen, who has been punished with a day of community service for his swearing, expressed some surprise in Brazil for his Ferrari rival not being questioned by the FIA.
