Stewards ruling for the sport's governing body, the FIA, decided Verstappen should 바카라œaccomplish some work of public interest." Exactly what that involves is to be agreed with the FIA.

Speaking ahead of Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix, Verstappen used an expletive Thursday to describe his car's performance in qualifying at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix the week before.

The stewards' ruling on Friday said the Dutch driver argued the word was 바카라œordinary in speech as he learned it, English not being his native language.바카라 The stewards said that Verstappen was a role model and should be 바카라œmindful when speaking in public forums".

At the same news conference, Verstappen argued against 바카라œputting bans on drivers바카라 for swearing. He said airing drivers' radio messages during races if they included swearing was a question for broadcasters.

바카라œIn other sports you don't run around with a mic attached to you. I think a lot of people say a lot of bad things when they are full of adrenaline in other sports, it just doesn't get picked up,바카라 he said.

The ruling comes after FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem criticized the amount of swearing, telling the motorsport.com website that 바카라œwe have to differentiate between our sport 바카라” motorsport 바카라” and rap music."

Ben Sulayem was criticized by seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton, who said he used 바카라œstereotypical바카라 language about rappers with a 바카라œracial element바카라.
