Günther Steiner, known for his delicious and sonorous swearing, also spoke out about Max Verstappen's Singapore antics. As you can guess, he did not take a position on the side of the FIA...
Well, if anyone, Steiner is a master of subpar and obscene self-promotion, it's worth noting here that Max Verstappen's statement (fucking car) was anything but hurtful and attention-grabbing. There was nothing selfish about it, and this is also supported by the aforementioned Netflix scandal hero. And there's no better reference on the subject than him:
"Remember the jewelry thing? Well, it's the same old-fashioned problem. It's true that you've never heard me swear at a press conference or other official event, but I'll say that what they're doing with Verstappen is absolutely excessive, what's more, it's bullshit. Could he have expressed himself differently? Yes. Did he offend anyone with that? NO! I fully side with the drivers, because I know how serious the thoughts that are expressed on the radio, for example, in the heat of the race, sound. They're not at all! It happens in a racing situation, the adrenaline is in the sky, all you have to do is whistle those few words and we're done. There's no need to make such a big deal out of it!" said the former Haas team boss.
