Red Bull driver Max Verstappen has been called by the FIA for using colorful language during the press conference ahead of the Singapore GP. Verstappen has been involved in minor offenses of the International Sporting Code in the past as well.

Max Verstappen has been a vocal figure ever since his debut in 2015. He is not one to mince words and is vividly transparent in conveying his inconveniences if and when the time comes. The Dutchman’s method of expression has been criticized by many, with some deeming him as arrogant and rude. He has nevertheless made it clear that he wishes to remain transparent with his words and expressions.

It will be important to keep the car in control a bit more in the slow speed so it doesn't jump around and this should hopefully help us a lot. Finally, we are continuing to fight for the Championship: we win and lose as a Team and are going to keep pushing and try and come back stronger.
