Max Verstappen has delivered a blunt response over FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem's desire to curtail the amount of swearing broadcast via team radio in F1.
The Dutchman questioned the logic behind trying to prohibit drivers from using bad language, after Ben Sulayem revealed the governing body he presides over is looking into reducing the number of radio communications broadcast containing potentially offensive messages - something the three-time F1 champion would welcome.
Verstappen himself used the F-word - prior to his comments on swearing - in the Thursday FIA drivers' press conference at the Singapore Grand Prix, for which he was reminded to "watch his language" by host Tom Clarkson.
