Max Verstappen risks getting a fine for the middle finger

      The Formula 1 season has not started yet, and the current world champion Max Verstappen is already at risk of receiving a fine under the new FIA rules for "misconduct."

      The updated Formula 1 regulations in "Appendix B" in paragraph 12.2.1l state that "any misconduct" that includes "the use of language (written or oral), gestures and/or signs that are offensive, offensive, rude, inappropriate, or that can reasonably be perceived as rude or insulting." humiliation", will be punished with a base fine of 10,000 euros for the first violation.

      In the morning session of the final day of testing in Bahrain, Max Verstappen gave the middle finger as he drove through the pit lane. Apparently, the gesture was addressed to someone who photographed him.

      Nothing is yet known about the FIA's reaction to Max's actions, but the Red Bull Racing driver risks becoming the first Formula 1 representative to be subject to new penalties.
