#bc tbh the truth is lestappen enough. max and charles would have been the ones to bring it to the gpda likely via seb

add charles swearing on purpose in a press conference to test out whether max's punishment was a one time thing to the list of things that i would click off a lestappen fic for for being too unrealistic!

Unfortunately to reality check everyone for a second as fun as it is to sensationalise for rpf purposes I don't think Charles swore in that press conference on purpose and I think his whole "oh noooo I'm going to have to do community service with Max" smile act was more a result of an inside joke between the drivers (since he said it in the direction of Carlos and Lando) who all already thought a swearing penalty was ridiculous.

The statement specifically mentions monetary fines, which confirms to me that Charles' penalty was the catalyst for the GPDA to act but I'm sure all drivers had input and Max and Charles probably had the most since they're the two who have been penalised for swearing and were amongst the first two drivers to follow the GPDA instagram.
