The stewards' verdict in full
"During Q1 when Car 22 was queuing in the fast lane and another car blended into the fast lane ahead ofꩵ him, the driver was heard to make a statement over team radio using offensive language.
"During the hearing the driver was very apologetic and explained that because English is not his first language he was unaware until after the session what the meaning of the words used is in the English language. He said that he was horrified when he learned this. He conten🍎ded that his understanding of the words was different, but acknowledged that this should not be considered as an excuse for what he did.
"The Stewards appreciate the honesty of the driver, but reinforce the fact the words used are offensive and wholly inappropriate. To have used such words over a platform that is available to the public amounted to misconduct as defined in Article 20 of the International Sporting Code. Considering the circumstances, the Stewards determine that a severe fine is required, but also take into account the genuine remorse of the driver and his offer to issue a public apology and for these reasons
decide to suspend part of the fine imposed."
