Leading Formula 1<\/a> journalist and former Williams and Ferrari team manager Peter Windsor has called on the FIA to implement a code of conduct for team radio messages following Max Verstappen<\/a>'s repeated outbursts at the United States Grand Prix<\/a><\/p>\n

Verstappen had to work harder than usual en route to victory<\/a> on Monday (AEDT), managing a brake issue\ufeff while weaving his way through the field.<\/p>\n

Throughout the race, \ufeffVerstappen voiced his frustration over the radio to his race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase and Red Bull<\/a> team principal Christian Horner \u2014 often using several expletives to get his point across.<\/p>\n

\"Max<\/p>\n

"Mate, these brakes are so shit compared to [Sunday]," he said.<\/p>\n

"What a piece of shit."<\/p>\n

When Lambiase later informed Verstappen that his pace was dropping compared to teammate Sergio Perez, he also replied: "I know man, my brakes are just shit".<\/p>\n

But \ufeffthe three-time world champion was not the only driver to lose his cool over the radio across the weekend in Austin.<\/p>\n

Charles Leclerc, Yuki Tsunoda, Nico Hulkenberg, Lance Stroll and Lewis Hamilton all had expletives in their radio messages censored for the world feed.<\/p>\n

In the closing stages of the race and with Hamilton fast approaching, Lambiase continually updated Verstappen on his lap times and the shrinking gap to Mercedes.<\/p>\n

\"Max<\/p>\n

But Verstappen soon commanded he "stop talking" while he battled with his brakes in the corners.<\/p>\n

"No talking in the braking [zone], man," he said.<\/p>\n

With the sport attracting a younger audience, Windsor was concerned about the language being promoted as entertainment.<\/p>\n

"Interestingly, he was getting very irate on the radio. I felt a bit sorry for Gianpiero," he said of Verstappen in his latest YouTube video.<\/p>\n

"You get the radio and [Gianpiero says], 'Oh, you know, you're four and a half seconds ahead of Lewis'. And he says, 'Don't talk to me while I'm braking'. He had an expletive deleted at one point when he was talking about the brakes.<\/p>\n

"Max, you're the triple world champion, you're not allowed to do that. They bleeped it, obviously, but lots of young kids are watching Formula 1 these days.<\/p>\n

"I think there should be some sort of code of conduct to do with language. Because even young kids today know what a bleep is, don't they? So we don't need any more of that."\ufeff<\/p>\n

According to Windsor, former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone is responsible for the current flippancy over the radio.<\/p>\n

\"Peter<\/p>\n

"Bernie started all that when he allowed [former driver] Ralf Schumacher to get away with it years ago, when he used the F word for the first time … on the radio," he said.<\/p>\n

"Bernie thought it was a big laugh and really good for Formula 1.<\/p>\n

"I totally disagreed at the time for the same reason I disagree with it now. I think if you've got young kids and you're trying to get to a young audience, you don't allow that sort of thing.<\/p>\n

"It's not allowed in other sports and it shouldn't be allowed in Formula 1.<\/p>\n

"They do a good job of deleting it, I know that, but one day it'll slip through."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
