Пилот Формулы 1 Макс Ферстаппен,currently in search of his fourth title, expressed his frustration with the difficulties he has faced this season. Despite having won seven races in the first 10, Ферстаппен has not managed to reach the podium in the last eight competitions, which has caused his discomfort.
In a recent statement, Ферстаппен mentioned feeling exhausted from having to deal with situations that he considers absurd in the sports arena. The Dutch driver referred to a sanction imposed by the FIA after using a profanity during a press conference, which forced him to perform "community service". This situation, along with other minor conflicts, has led Ферстаппен to consider his future in Formula 1.
Although he leads the drivers' championship with 331 points, closely followed by Ландон Норрис with 279 points, Ферстаппен has expressed his dissatisfaction with the international motorsport federation. His annoyance was exacerbated after, in a pre-race interview for the Singapore Grand Prix, he was questioned about his performance in a previous race compared to his colleague Чеко Перес, to which he responded with sarcasm and reluctance.
The Red Bull driver hinted that the way he has been treated by the FIA and certain circumstances on the track could influence his decision to remain in Formula 1. Despite his sporting success, Ферстаппен made it clear that personal satisfaction and the freedom to enjoy his career are equally important aspects in his journey as an elite driver.
