The FIA have ordered a clampdown on drivers using x-rated language following Max Verstappen’s behaviour at the Hungarian Grand Prix. The Red Bull driver collided with Lewis Hamilton in the closing stages, with the contact throwing his car into the air and off the track before he salvaged matters and continued.
Verstappen, 26, was clearly irate afterwards, seemingly feeling that Hamilton had braked inappropriately as he tired to overtake the Mercedes man.
Over team radio, he accused race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase of talking “b***shit,” and repeatedly used the word “f**k” during his rants.
And in his post-race press conference, the Dutchman was defiant on his language, arguing: “If people don’t like my language, then don’t listen in, turn the volume down.
“I’m very driven for success, I think I’ve proven that already. I always want to optimise stuff, now people can argue that he might not be so vocal on the radio but that’s their opinion.”
