After cursing performance
Max Verstappen serves his sentence in Rwanda
Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen will serve his sentence for swearing during his stay in Rwanda. The gala with the world champion honors will take place there on Friday. The International Automobile Federation made the announcement after the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
Verstappen will work with young drivers as part of the Rwanda Automobile Club's program, the FIA announced. A so-called cross car, which was developed by the local club according to FIA plans, will also play a role. The governing body did not disclose details of what Verstappen will be doing in his "work of public interest".
Not the first penalty for Verstappen
Verstappen had spoken about the behavior of his Red Bull at the Grand Prix in Singapore in September, using the word "fuck". This was subsequently penalized by the race stewards.
Around six years ago, Verstappen had already had to do community service after an assault on the Frenchman Esteban Ocon. Back then, the now 27-year-old four-time world champion was sentenced to spend two days as an observer with the stewards at the Formula E race in Marrakesh.
Next penalty looming
Because Verstappen insulted the race stewards as "stupid idiots" at the season finale in Abu Dhabi on Sunday, the next trouble is already looming. In times when drivers are banned from swearing, this verbal outburst is also likely to have repercussions.
