Verstappen was speaking at the F175 event held at London’s O2 Arena, where all 10 teams had gathered for the first time to unveil their liveries for the new season which marks the 75th anniversary of Formula One.
While teams met the press in London, the FIA dropped its own bombshell announcing that it was considering imposing a mandatory number of pit stops at the Monaco Grand Prix, with “the aim of promoting better racing”.
The Mercedes driver George Russell, meanwhile, said he would maintain his robust approach to battling Verstappen on track this year after the pair endured a very public and bitter spat at the end of last season.
Max Verstappen has accused the Formula One governing body, the FIA, of failing to focus on the issues that matter after what he believes is an irrelevant crackdown on swearing.
Verstappen fell foul of the rules last season when he was given a community service punishment for swearing in a press conference.
