The F1 ruling body, the FIA recently introduced a new rule on the swears. Last year, Verstappen was accused under the law and forced to submit to works of general interest in Rwanda after having used a coarse language during a press conference.
The pilot was in London for the live event F1 75 Tuesday, where he was invited to comment on the new rules. Verstappen borrowed words from José Mourinho who answered a media question in 2014 after Chelsea's defeat against Aston Villa in the Premier League. After the defeat, the boss of the Blues at the time had declared to Sky Sports: ” I prefer not to speak. If I speak, I have big trouble. Big troubles. And I don't want to have big troubles. ”

In response to journalists, the F1 world champion said: “I prefer not to talk about that. Otherwise, I will have trouble. If you look at everyone's reaction, I think it says a lot. I think we should not take it too seriously. I'm not going to tell you how you should behave in life.
“I do not intend to continue bickering in February. I always enjoy my time away from F1. Honestly, I have nothing to say about it. »»
The Portuguese coach will be back on the sidelines this Thursday while Fenerbahce will face Anderlecht in the return match of the knockout stages of the Europa League.
