British restaurant gets inspired by Verstappen's swearing penalty

A British restaurant has got some inspiration from the controversy at last weekend's Singapore Grand Prix about how to deal with unsupervised children at their place, and placed out a sign on the counter after Max Verstappen's penalty.

The sign says at the restaurant: "Unattended children will be given a Red Bull and taught how to swear," referring to Thursday's press conference back in Singapore, where Max Verstappen described his car with saying it was "f***ed". As a result he was given community service by the stewards.

Following this incident, the Formula One grid all gathered behind the Dutchman, together with analysts and fans, saying the decision to penalise him was disporportionate. It is expected that the drivers will talk to the FIA at COTA ahead of the US Grand Prix about the imposed measures. Previously, team principals Fred Vasseur and Toto Wolff were given a reprimand following a press conference at the 2023 Las Vegas GP.

No matter how the case will end, the restaurant now has some much-needed inspiration on how to keep the parents of the children in check, to watch their kids.
