He's not a bad person. He's actually quite nice I think, giving the thumbs up when one of the interviewers asked if he would answer questions afterwards. And he did actually do that, improvising a bit as he had to give TV interviews as well. But he was like, walk with me and we can do it on the way. I don't always like what he does on track, but I do think he is a man of his word, and I appreciate his honesty. I think it's so easy for people on the sidelines to judge. But these are top athletes. They live and breathe the sport, deal with the pressure and the ups and downs. I think we should give them the benefit of the doubt. And actually, Lando and Lewis thought the punishment was a joke as well. They 100% supported Max, so... yeah.

Sincere question, can you provide context? Seen several answers about some recent issue with FIA.

[@vvrathhps]

@@Refreshment01 Max said fu(king. FIA's reporter told him to watch his language. And Max highly disagreed saying 5-6 year olds watching will hear the word at some point and it's part of the vocabulary. These athletes are the best of the best and they can't be expected to censor themselves in case someone feels hurt by a word. Lando Norris agreed. So FIA decided to punish Max for saying that word, and this is basically Max telling FIA to go fu(k themselves.

[@DerangedPokeUser]

@@Refreshment01 The President of the FIA, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, complained about the bad language used by drivers over the board radio, since it influences children watching F1. He wanted stuarts to penalise drivers whenever they curse. So a few days ago, when Max stated his car was "f**ked", he got a community service penalty. Now he refuses to give elaborate answers during official F1 press moments, because one wrong word can get you a penalty.

@@Refreshment01 Verstappend used the word "fucked" when describing his car during the baku press conferences, making the fia angry saying he breached the sporting code via misconducted and fined and a condemmed to community service ( we don't know what specifically yet) Understandibly max is not very happy about it because it was directed to the car an not a person in particular but the fia says the drivers have to be role models during and outside of the races.

I have double feelings in this: for one, I believe that drivers should set the example and standard as F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport. A driver using bad words while driving is not the same as in the press conference. On the other side, I applaude Verstappen for the way he handled the press conference. Theres a high number of inconsistent decisions from the FIA and someone has to say "hold your horses"

[@mrsensei8878]

We as dutch find this British/American prudishness. For example in the Netherlands they do not bleep words out on television.

[@Grumpy_Forty_Five]

There are no inherently “bad” words likley we are led to believe; words are just words, and each word has a meaning. However, the context and tone in which a word is used can greatly override its original meaning. For example, “I hate you so much, you ”. If this is said in a negative tone, it can be offensive. But if the same sentence is spoken by a loved one in a positive or playful way, it could be taken as a joke or even as a sign of affection. We’re often led to believe that certain words hold power because we’ve been told they are “bad” words. In reality, words themselves have no power - it’s how we choose to respond to them that gives them meaning and power. Personally, I prefer to live in peace. People can call me whatever they want; just don’t call me late for dinner, if such simple words hold so much power of us, then life is far to easy and simple and we need to grow up abit.
