Verstappen’s Gesture Sparks FIA Investigation

Verstappen gives the middle finger – Is the FIA already on it?

28/02/2025

Max Verstappen made waves in Sakhir testing, caught on camera flashing a middle finger—raising questions about FIA intervention and possible sanctions.

Max Verstappen already made headlines this morning during private testing in Sakhir, on the final day of sessions before the Australian GP in two weeks.

The Red Bull Racing driver was caught on video by his onboard camera giving the middle finger near the Williams garage.

The reason for the gesture remains unclear.

According to some unconfirmed sources, the FIA is already looking into the matter. With the Federation’s new regulations, Max could be facing a hefty fine of at least €10,000.
