The government of Mongolia is not happy with Max Verstappen’s scolding cannonade during the Grand Prix weekend in Portimao a week and a half ago. The Mongolian government is calling on the United Nations through its ambassador to take action against the Red Bull driver and his team.
During the GP weekend at Imola it became clear that the ambassador of Mongolia had sent a letter to the FIA, Red Bull and Aston Martin. A letter to the United Nations was added a few days later.
The reason is the excess of Verstappen at the address of Lance Stroll when he came into contact with the Canadian during the second free practice session prior to the GP of Portugal. In addition, the Red Bull driver dropped the word ‘mongolian’, which is very sensitive in Mongolia.
Red Bull’s response to the earlier letter turned out not to be enough to satisfy the Mongol government. The ambassador of the Asian country, Lundeg Purevsuren, has therefore come back to the pen, this time to write a letter to the United Nations.
In his writing, Purevsuren urges the UN to take action against Verstappen, the team and its sponsors for the “ unacceptable behavior and repeated use of racist and derogatory language against ethnic groups, so that it cannot recur in the future. ‘.
The Mongolian government also points out that it is not the first time that Verstappen has used the term. Also during the 2017 United States GP, he used the word in question to the stewards, who had decided to punish him after illegally overtaking Kimi Raikkonen on the final lap of the race.
Purevsuren also points to the F1 initiative #WeRaceAsOne, which was launched this year to tackle racism and inequality in the sport. He doubts the initiative, because according to him, actions like those of Verstappen go unpunished.
