Max Verstappen's Silence on Saudi Penalty and F1's Regulatory Constraints

Max Verstappen refuses to discuss his Saudi penalty, citing FIA concerns.

Max Verstappen is reluctant to express his dissatisfaction with the penalty he received in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, fearing retribution from the FIA. The penalty potentially cost him the race win. The FIA's rule changes have restricted drivers' critical remarks. Christian Horner thought the penalty was too harsh. Piastri won the race and took the championship lead. Norris admitted he needs to 'chill out' after qualifying crash.
