Verstappen’s pseudo-silence spoke volumes of the dissatisfaction in F1

Max Verstappen skillfully navigated a high-stakes race and media landscape at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, using silence as a pointed protest against new FIA regulations penalizing driver dissent. His reticence, supported by fellow drivers and the GPDA, highlights growing frustration with the governing body's restrictive policies and opaque governance, which has been further clouded by high-level resignations. With his next race in Miami, Verstappen remains poised to challenge these developments, continuing his calculated yet impactful resistance.
