Stewards for Formula One’s governing body, the FIA, have fined Charles Leclerc for swearing during a recent post-race news conference. Leclerc was fined 10,000 euros, 5,000 of which is “suspended on condition that there is no further breach of a similar nature within the next 12 months,” according to the FIA decision document.

Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc has been fined €10,000 -- half of which will be suspended for a year -- for swearing during a post-race press conference in Mexico.

Charles Leclerc has got away with a fine after using the word 'f**k' in a press conference. It remains extraordinary that the FIA hands out penalties for this, but all the more so that it hands out harsher penalties for one driver than another.
