 About the Verstappen - FIA thing regarding the swear word and the punishment: I'm not a clinical psychiatrist but the FIA director Ben Sulayem seems like a power hungry narcisist. It's like Thierry Breton telling Musk to comply. This video will give you an insight in the Ben Sulayems brain.

Max his press conference yesterday made sense (boycotting it all). Lando and Lewis even supported Max his decision to play it this way now. Censoring drivers with what to say and what not to say is has been a slippery slope for some time now, but it's reached it's escalation point now. 

My prediction: Max won't serve the penalty and Ben Sulayem overplayed his hands and loses his position within a year.

 I think nothing happens. Idk why they try.  
 Clearly they have nothing better to do…But I agree nothing happens.
