Commenting on the FIA’s updated guidelines at F1's season launch in London on Tuesday, Russell added: "As an individual, like I said last year, it's obviously going quite far with everything.

Last November, the Grand Prix Drivers' Association - of which Mercedes' Russell is a director - wrote an open letter asking the FIA to treat it like adults amid the sport's swearing row.

Since the conclusion of last season, F1 drivers have been told they could be hit by race bans of extortionate fines for repeated swearing or criticism of the sport's governing body.

Verstappen, who secured his fourth consecutive world championship last season, did not apologise, instead branding Russell a "backstabber" and "loser".
