Coulthard questions FIA silence over Verstappen incident

Published April 7, 2026 · Updated April 7, 2026 · Motorsport.com

Former Formula 1 driver David Coulthard expressed surprise that the FIA did not reprimand Max Verstappen after the four-time champion ejected a British journalist from a media session at the Japanese Grand Prix.

The incident occurred during a Red Bull hospitality media session at Suzuka, where Verstappen bluntly refused to begin until the journalist departed.

Coulthard believes the governing body should have addressed the behavior.
