'FIA has lost the plot' after ordering community service for Verstappen
Max Verstappen was sent to the stewards after FP1 to discuss an incident which took place on Thursday. During the press conference, the Dutchman used the word 'f*ck'. As a result, he has been given community service by the FIA. This comes after FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem announced he wished to reduce the use of swearing by F1 drivers. This is how the internet reacted on X.

Max Verstappen was kind of telling the truth in there but as a public figure he can’t advocate it.#F1 #SingaporeGPhttps://t.co/OcvCxUi9my
