[Saba Sports News] With the controversy surrounding Red Bull Racing’s star driver Max Verstappen being penalized for foul language at the F1 Singapore Grand Prix, there have been mixed reactions in the paddock. Former F1 world champion Keke Rosberg expressed his disapproval, stating that Verstappen’s behavior seems to challenge the limits of the FIA’s tolerance. As a world champion, Rosberg noted, “Verstappen is really challenging the limits of the FIA; he didn’t even speak at the FIA press conference. He is a world champion, so he is one of the most important people in the paddock, but he cannot do things entirely according to his own preferences.” The editor believes that every move Verstappen makes on the F1 stage attracts attention. The series of reactions following his penalty for foul language not only showcases his personal character traits but also reflects the complex relationships and seriousness of rules within the F1 paddock.
