Charles Leclerc Fined €10,000 for Swearing at Mexico GP

The Ferrari driver received a penalty for using coarse language during a press conference, with half of the fine suspended for a year.

Charles Leclerc was fined €10,000 by Formula One stewards for swearing during a post-race press conference at the Mexico City Grand Prix.
The penalty includes a suspended €5,000, contingent on no repeat offense within 12 months.
Leclerc's immediate apology during the press conference was considered a mitigating factor, differentiating his case from Max Verstappen's similar incident.
Max Verstappen had previously been assigned community service for swearing, highlighting a stricter stance from the FIA on driver conduct.
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem has emphasized the importance of maintaining professional language in motorsport, contrasting it with other entertainment forms.
