[Saba Sports News] As the Singapore F1 Grand Prix approaches, the FIA penalized Red Bull driver Max Verstappen by requiring him to participate in a day of community service due to his violation of the FIA’s profanity ban during a pre-race press conference when he said, “My car was fucked.” This made Verstappen quite unhappy. Therefore, during the media conference after the Singapore qualifying session, Verstappen became less talkative and his attitude appeared particularly cold. He remained silent on almost all questions posed to him and only reluctantly answered a few in rare instances to express his dissatisfaction with the FIA’s recent crackdown. However, Verstappen was also reasonable, proactively telling reporters, “I’m not targeting you; if you have any questions, you can ask me outside, and I will answer.” As a result, a remarkable scene occurred where all reporters followed Verstappen outside after the FIA press conference ended for further interviews. Verstappen thus held an impromptu outdoor media conference.
