Max Verstappen has threatened to walk away from Formula One after being handed a community service order at the Singapore Grand Prix.

The Red Bull star was given the sanction after swearing in his pre-race press conference, prompting him to hardly speak in protest following his second-place finish.

Speaking on the community service order, Verstappen said: “These kind of things definitely decide my future, if you can't be yourself or you have to deal with these silly things.

"I'm now at the stage of my career that you don't want to be dealing with this all the time. It's really tiring.

"Everyone is pushing to the limit, everyone in this paddock, even at the back of the grid. But if you have to deal with all these kinds of silly things, for me that is not a way of continuing in this sport, that's for sure."
