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

<p>F1's governing body FIA recently introduced a new swearing rule. Last year, Verstappen was charged under the law and forced to undergo community service in Rwanda after he used foul language during a press conference.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The driver was in London for the F1 75 live event on Tuesday, where he was asked to comment on the new regulations. Verstappen borrowed words from Mourinho's answer to a media question in 2014 after Chelsea's defeat to Aston Villa in the Premier League. Following the loss, the then-Blues boss had famously told <em>Sky Sports</em>: "I prefer not to speak. If I speak, I am in big trouble. In big trouble. And I don’t want to be in big trouble.”</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>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.</p><p>"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."</p>

WHAT MAX VERSTAPPEN SAID

<p>The Portuguese manager will be back on the sidelines this Thursday as Fenerbahce take on Anderlecht in the second leg of their Europa League round of 16 play-off.</p>
