Jose Mourinho’s influence hits Formula One as world champion Max Verstappen uses ex-Chelsea boss’ famous line when asked about sport’s new swearing rules

Responding to reporters, the world champion said: “I prefer not to speak about that. Otherwise, I’ll get in trouble. If you look at everyone’s reaction to it, I think that says enough. I think we shouldn’t take it so seriously. I’m also not going to tell you how you should behave in life.

“I have no intention of continuing any type of beef in February. I’m still enjoying my time away from F1. Honestly, I have nothing to say on that subject.”
