It states: "The Stewards explained to the driver that they had no issue with someone disagreeing with their decisions, however comments that amount to personal insults are a breach of the International Sporting Code. (...) He was also reminded that the Stewards are always available to explain their decisions when requested by a driver or team representative."

That's a direct reference to this iconic Porsche ad of four decades ago:

They got the original call wrong, and they got this wrong. They seem to like making season changing stumbles at the end of the season. And I stand by my statement: Those in charge need to be able to take criticism or they shouldn't be there. |

Verstappen had zero DNF in 2023. The only full-time driver to finish and score in every race. Very impressive! How often does that happen?

That was a hell of a season. So happy ALO made the right move for a change.
Until 2024!

Wishful thinking, not going to happen and he's Belgian whatever the flags show.

If Verstappen, Norris and Stroll (who all got Belgian mothers) identify themselves as Dutch, British or Canadian because of the nationality of their fathers, then they are to be considered Dutch, British and Canadian and to fly those flags. Flemish (Belgium) versus Dutch can be compared to British versus American: virtually the same language but with a different pronunciation and some dedicated vocabulary. Verstappen's accent/tongue is unmistakably Dutch rather than Flemish (play a soundbite of his voice and all Flemish listeners will confirm that it's clearly Dutch, not Flemish). Verstappen's DNA: 50% Flemish/Belgian (mother Sophie) + 50% Dutch (father Jos). In F1 he opted to fly the Dutch flag. He is fully entitled to do that - no-one should criticize his personal choice. Verstappen's nationality has been a heated topic between his parents. It's no secret that mother Sophie and father Jos have gone through a messy divorce.

I was born in UK and my mom and dad were from abroad but I recognise myself as from the Union Jack flag, after all you can only fly one flag at a time. |

Congrats to Max for a record breaking year. Hope to see more competition in 2024 but since this is F1, I won’t expect too much.

Olympians do it all the time as well. Seems like you would like to be recognized as a UK citizen, and that's your right... just as it's Max's right to consider himself Dutch... |

Naturally it's up to him to choose any nationality he likes, like any successful sportsperson, to suit things like marketing etc and the strong bond with his dad, who made him who he is today together with the huge 'Orange Army' following which eventually made him change to Dutch and I'm glad whatever he does, though from my perspective he will always be a Belgian. |
