The FIA's chief steward ventured down to Red Bull after Max Verstappen staged a Singapore GP press conference protest.

The three-time world champion was called to see the stewards in Singapore following the first free practice session on Friday, after which the FIA announced that he was in breach of their international sporting code and would be forced to undertake duties similar to community service within F1.

After Azerbaijan, the story was that Sergio Perez was back on the pace with his updated floor design, while Max Verstappen struggled due to a setup mistake before qualifying. But during Friday practice in Singapore, both Red Bull drivers were unhappy with the performance. "We still lack a lot of balance," Perez admitted.
