Charles Leclerc could face Max Verstappen-like punishment in the coming days
While Charles Leclerc immediately regretted dropping the F-bomb in Mexico, as per racingnews365, he could come under fire from the FIA. The governing body’s stance regarding such things has gotten extremely strict since Verstappen’s antics.
The reigning world champion has always cut out as a blunt figure at the pinnacle of motor racing. Before the ban on the F-bomb, he was one of the drivers who used to use the word frequently during the Grand Prix weekends.
However, since the ban, Verstappen has stopped using the word and has stuck to using acceptable language. When it comes to Leclerc, the FIA could impose a fine on him or simply let it slide keeping in view that he did not do it on purpose.
The 27-year-old tracked back on his mistake and immediately regretted his antics. This could persuade the FIA to refrain from giving Leclerc and hefty fine or punishment in some other form. The governing body could come out with a strong statement regarding this in the upcoming days.
