- Five-second penalty costs Red Bull driver at Saudi GP
- ‘I cannot share my opinion, it might get me in trouble’
Max Verstappen has implied it is all but impossible to express an opinion for risk of censure by Formula One’s governing body the FIA, when he refused to air his clear displeasure at the penalty he was given during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Verstappen declined to discuss the race after the top three drivers climbed from their cars in parc ferme. He was fined by the FIA for swearing in a press conference at the Singapore GP last year and this season has been far more guarded and short in answering questions. Speaking to the media in Jeddah he suggested he felt constrained by the rulebook.
