Max Verstappen refused to discuss a time penalty which dropped him out of the lead of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, saying after Sunday’s race that he fears being punished for any criticism.

The four-time champion repeatedly refused to go into any more detail in a televised interview and a later news conference.

“The problem is that I cannot share my opinion about it because I might get penalized also, you know, so it’s better not to speak about it,” Verstappen said in response to one question.

Verstappen indicated he was keeping quiet both because of potential “trouble” with the governing body and because “sometimes your words can be twisted.”
“I think it’s just the world we live in,” he added. “You can’t share fully your opinion because it’s not appreciated, apparently, or people can’t handle the full truth.”
