Leclercs curse fauxpas: 10,000 euros punishment after the press conference!

Formula 1 star Charles Leclerc is the focus of a scandal that brings him a juicy fine of 10,000 euros! The 27-year-old Monegasse put the notorious English F-word in his mouth at an official press conference after the race in Mexico. While his rival Max Verstappen from Red Bull was only sentenced to a non -profit work for a similar slip, the FIA has now decided that Leclerc's misstep weighs heavier and finished him with a fine. Half of this sum was suspended on probation-a clear warning to the Ferrari pilots!

The racing commissioners made it clear that the public expects a certain level of respect and decency for World Cup participants. "Public statements must correspond to generally accepted standards," says the reason. Leclerc, who was on the podium after his third place, immediately apologized for his careless choice of words, which may have brought him a little mild. Nevertheless, the incident remains another example of the strict rules that apply in motorsport.

The outbreak of the Ferrari driver came when he spoke about a crucial moment in the race, in which he had to brake the car in the last curve and had to overtake Lando Norris. "Oh, I'm sorry," said LeclerC quickly and added with a smile that he did not want to suffer the same fate as Verstappen. This unfortunate statement could not only hurt Leclerc's wallet, but also influence the image of the talented driver in public.
