The Red Bull Racing and Australian driver Max Verstappen utter an incredible statement as if he was ready to call it quits in F1. The punishment he got for swearing, he referred to it as “silly”.

Before the much anticipated Singapore Grand Prix race the favoured Red Bull star was caught uttering a rude word during a news conference. The FIA, which is the world’s governing body of the sport, reprimanded him and compelled him to do 20 hours of “community service.” There are rumors about Verstappen’s future objectives in racing due to anger over its realization.

The three times world champion preferred to keep quiet and only responded briefly to questions asked during the pre- race news conferences. Sometimes he was way more keen on avoiding the formal media conference instead, he prefer using the reporters in paddock. Several other drivers were sympathetic with his standings and they were also angered by how severe Verstappen’s penalties were.

During interviews after Sunday’s Singapore Grand Prix in which he came second to Lando Norris, Verstappen was not as dramatic in his responses. He also said that he felt an irritation with the penalty and how it tilted his mentality, indicating that the struggle was even tougher in such an exposed environment.

“It’s really tiring. Of course, it’s great to have success and win races, but once you have accomplished all that, winning championships and races, then you want to just have a good time as well.”

“I think now I’m at the stage of my career that you don’t want to be dealing with this all the time,”  the Dutch driver told reporters, “These kind of things definitely decide my future as well. When you can’t be yourself or you have to deal with these kind of silly things.”

Verstappen added: “If you have to deal with all these kind of silly things, for me, that is not a way of continuing in the sport, that’s for sure.”

The three time world champion’s answer to the unforeseen suspension during the pre-race news conferences were short and to the point. He often did not attend the formal post race media sessions but rather was happy to talk to the reporters on the grass track. Most of his competitors gave similar opinionsthey were surprised at the time how severe the penalty imposed on Verstappen.

At the post-Singapore Grand Prix press conference on Sunday, Verstappen asserted his fast pace after finishing behind Lando Norris. He later complained bitterly about the treatment as well as the resultant effect on his performance bearing in mind the high level of competition.

For instance, the GPDA’S current president, Alex Wurz, was quoted as saying that he believed that the punish that was meted out to Verstappen, was a bit harsh.

Wurz expressed his surprise at the driver's disciplinary penalty in a post on X, the previous Twitter platform. He also voiced doubts about the appropriateness of such a harsh response in the racing industry. Saying: “I wonder how many days of community service Guenther would get…”

Verstappen, 26, has been hinting at the potential of a premature exit from racing more than most fellow drivers. He reaffirmed, on Sunday, his commitment to authenticity and desire to build the path for himself in the sport.

Norris has leapfrogged Verstappen in the driver standings, with the latter now just 52 points ahead after retiring from his maiden trip to the stewards’ office at the Singapore Grand Prix.

“If you can’t really be yourself, to the fullest, then it’s better not to speak,” Verstappen explained. “That’s what no one wants because then you become a robot and it is not how you should be going about it in the sport.”
