Legendary F1 commentator Martin Brundle believes 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s ongoing debate with the♔ FIA over his recent swearing incident is “wasted energy” and “serves no good purpose”.

Verstappen use of the word “fuck*d” in Thursday’s FIA presꦡs conference at the Singapore Grand Prix resulted in him receiving community service.

In response, Versta꧃ppen refused to give proper answers in the press conference after qualifying, opting to give attending journalists an opportunity to ask questions in the paddock instead.

The Dutchman adopted a similar꧒ app🙈roach after his second-place finish on Sunday.

Writing ꧙in his post-race Singapore GP column for Sky, Brundle gave his view on the situation with Verstappen and the FIA.

“Max Verstap👍pen did a great job to secure second on th💝e grid and keep that to the chequered flag,” Brundle wrote.

“Red Bull h𓆏ave often struggled at this circuit, and this is the only race on the current calendar he has not won, in fact he has only ever led three laps here. He made the difference and was well satisfied with his result. I'm not sure why Max is allowing himself to get distracted and dragged into the swearing𓄧 battle with the FIA.

“It's wasted energy and serves no g📖ood purpose for him, but he ✃still largely wouldn't answer questions in the press conference post race.

The drivers are not kids I accept, and we know they'll sometimes swear in an attempt to have radio messages not transmitted, and of course they will also say 'don't broadca🅷st our radio calls if you don't like the language'.

“It may be street language, but they represent themselves, their fami🉐lies, their country, their🦹 team, global sponsors, F1 itself, and broadcasters worldwide.”

While Brundle is keen for “free speech”, he sees no need for swearing when it’s not in the “♋heat of the moment”.

“They are icons, champions, opinion formers, and they should think about the responsibility which comes with that privilege, especially with ♐so many young fans watching,” Brundle addeꦐd.

“Nobody wants to take any energy, emotion, or freedom of speech out of it, but gratuitous swearing away from 🔯the heat of the moment is not ne🎀cessary.”
