AFP Formula 1 drivers have asked world FIA to treat them like ... Verstappen was ordered to perform an act of “public interest” at the Singapore Grand Prix in September after using an expletive to describe his Red Bull car in a news conference.

The GPDA have published a letter hitting back at FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem's swearing ban and have requested him to watch his own language.

Ben Sulayem said in an interview with Autosport ahead of that race that the grid's stars had a responsibility to stop swearing on the radio and that they should not act like rappers.
