F1 steward Johnny Herbert has detailed the reasons for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen’s punishment for s💦wearing during an FIA ꦉpress conference.

Versta𓆏ppen was hit with a community service penalty for swearing during Thursday’s FIA press conference at the Singapore Grand Prix.

The Dutchman had said the word “fuc*ed” in relation to Red Bull’s performance at the 🍌Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Verstappe♔n’s comment coincided with FIA presid𝔍ent Mohammed Ben Sulayem’s desire to clampdown on swearing ahead of the weekend.

The Red Bull driver protested the penalty by not answering questions properly in either press 𓃲conference after qualifying or the race, opting to speak to the media in the paddock instea▨d.

Herbert, who is an experience🦩d steward for the FIA and on d𝓀uty in Singapore, gave his view on the situation.

Speaking to Casino Hawks, Herbert said: “At the press conference in Singapore, Max [Versജtappen] used the ‘F’ word about his car. The press conferences are beamed around the world.

“There is more swearing than there ever has been. A press confer๊ence is not the place for it. Some journalists have said the sport is trying to ma🅠ke 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.

“The incident was referred to us as stewards. We had a good open chat with Max for about 20 minutes, half an hour, in what was a difficult situation. You could see in his face he was really worked up about it. But when he left, he appeared to be mollified about the process and why it’s there. ꧂He did not blame us as stewards.

“As stewards we have a range of tools to punis𒀰h drivers. We are there to implement the rules🏅 and make a decision together. We could have fined him, but we felt it would be more beneficial to get him to do something socially responsible. It is up to Max and the FIA what that is.”

Herbert admits he loves that Verstappen showed a “rebellious streak” but rema🐈ined adamant that swearing is unacceptable.

“It all blew up afterwards🦹 because he went to the press conference and gave one wo🌱rd answers then held his own impromptu press conference outside in the paddock,” Herbert added.

“That showed Max’s rebellious streak. I love that side of him, it is what makes Max, Max, his honest and outspoken character. But there is a time and a place. Personally, I think there is too much swearing. I don’t want my five-year-old grandchild listening to that sort of l🙈anguage.”
