Max Verstappen to Complete Community Service in Rwanda for Swearing Incident

The F1 champion will work with junior drivers in Kigali as part of a grassroots motorsport program organized by the Rwanda Automobile Club.

Max Verstappen received a community service penalty from the FIA for using inappropriate language during a press conference at the Singapore Grand Prix in September.
The Dutch driver will fulfill the penalty while attending the FIA's annual awards ceremony in Kigali, Rwanda, where he will also collect his fourth consecutive F1 World Championship trophy.
As part of the grassroots development program, Verstappen will work with junior drivers and introduce them to motorsports using an FIA Affordable Cross Car built locally in Rwanda.
This is not Verstappen's first public interest penalty; in 2018, he was required to observe stewards at a Formula E race after a physical altercation with another driver.
The penalty reflects the FIA's ongoing efforts to promote appropriate conduct and language use among drivers in professional motorsport.
