The FIA has announced the details of Max Verstappen’s “work of public interest” duty linked to the stewards’ penalty for the use of bad language during the drivers’ press conference at the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix.
Back in September, the four-time world champion was summoned to the stewards after swearing while describing his car to the press – they went on to conclude that this went against the International Sporting Code.

Previously, drivers have been fined for using bad language, but they elected to impose a “greater penalty” for Verstappen, who is “obliged to accomplish some work of public interest” to account for his misconduct.
Following the conclusion of the season in Abu Dhabi, the FIA revealed that this work will take place in Rwanda, when the Red Bull driver will be in the country for the FIA Awards Ceremony, to collect his trophy for winning the drivers’ championship by 63 points over Lando Norris.
