Antonelli 'worried' about fine after accidentally swearing: 'What did I do'

In 2024, after Max Verstappen swore at the Singapore Grand Prix, the Dutchman was handed community service, which he had to complete in Rwanda ahead of that year's FIA gala.

Other drivers, such as Charles Leclerc, have also been hit with fines for swearing. The Monegasque driver received a €10,000 fine, €5,000 of which was suspended, after the Mexico City Grand Prix weekend in 2024.

In 2024, Antonelli also crashed out in Parabolica in FP1 when he sat in George Russell's Mercedes.

Asked about high-speed crashes in Formula 1, the young Italian began: "In a high speed corner, if I think about it? No, it's too quick. You know, you just go for it. Otherwise, you just get ready for the impact. But we all know how dangerous the sport is. At the end of the day, that's what we love to do, and we know it's part of the risk.

Antonelli then swore while searching for the right words. He quickly realized he should not have done so, prompting laughter in the room as well. "But, of course, we are well aware of the risk that there is because the... 'oh, s***.' Sorry. Oh my God. Sorry. Sorry. I swore. But oh my God. What did I just do? Yeah. Now I'm going to worry about the fine that is incoming. But what was I saying?"

He then concluded: "It's fine. But, of course, we know that the risk will always be there. So we're well aware and but as I said, it's what we love to do, and we're going to live with that."
