I've not seen it reported in English but Max is in the Dutch media pretty much saying he's going to quit if the FIA keep this up.

(Mostly Google translated with some small fixes by me.)

Verstappen's love for Formula 1 diminished after punishment: 'I don't feel like continuing'

Max Verstappen has once again lashed out at the FIA ​​motorsport association after the Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix, in which he finished second. "If I can't be myself or have to keep dealing with these stupid things, I find it very tiring," he said at a mandatory press conference. The FIA ​​imposed a community service order on the Dutchman on Friday, because he had used a swear word in a press conference on Thursday. After qualifying on Saturday, Verstappen therefore decided to give extremely short answers at a new press conference and to speak extensively to the media outside the FIA ​​hall. Verstappen did the latter again today. "I have no need to give extensive answers if the FIA ​​treats me like this. I know I have to answer, but it doesn't say anywhere how long my answers have to be." Verstappen: "I've never had a bad relationship with the FIA, this year I even did volunteer work with young stewards. I always try to help. Never say no when they ask for something. And then this? No, that's not how it works." Why is Verstappen now at odds with the FIA? "It's apparently the direction this sport is going. The wrong direction. It's quite soft. And super stupid. I can't be completely myself anymore. Well, then I'd better stop talking. But nobody wants that, I think. Because then drivers become robots. That's not how it should be. Other drivers laughed about it too. What on earth is this fuss about? Let's please stop this." Verstappen has no idea how things will continue. "But I think emotions are part of it. In Formula 1, but in every sport. In frustrating moments you have to be able to express yourself. But I don't want to say too much about this. Before you know it, they'll call me in to report to the stewards again. And all that fuss eats up energy." "Enough is enough," he continued his strong argument. "This also affects my future. I'm at a stage in my career where I don't want to be concerned with that. Of course success and winning races are great, but I've already achieved my goals. I just want to enjoy myself. I don't want all that nonsense. Then I don't feel like continuing." "I have no idea how seriously they want to take this and how they will continue, but enough is enough. It affects my love for the sport. I'm going to enjoy it a lot less this way." A subtly threatening argument followed. "Formula 1 will continue without me, but my life will also continue without Formula 1. I have no problem with that." Verstappen wants to take a break now, because there are no grand prix for the next three weekends. "No Formula 1 for me for two weeks. We'll see in Austin. I will always remain myself and will not change my attitude and behavior."

"Redbull seems to be still strong, with Max, of course."

what I would have loved to see is if charles did get top 3 either yesterday or today (count your days ferrari), max would have absolutely yapped his ears off during the press conference and then turned to the press and said 'no comment'. i feel robbed.

Charles: "Today i paid for yesterday's qualifying.... yesterday's qualifying was....."

Mara: "Not clean! Watch out or they will fine us!"

Charles: "Yes! Then i have to work with Max and I don't want it!"

big fan of the way max and charles constantly specify that they’re racing each other “mclaren and max were fast” “mclaren and charles have pace” they want us to know they only rate each other sooo badly
