SINGAPORE (AFP): Formula One world champion Max Verstappen was on Friday punished for swearing in a Singapore Grand Prix press conference by governing body the FIA.
The Red Bull driver is now obliged "to accomplish some work of public interest", said a panel of FIA stewards, after the Dutch driver used the F-word in Thursday's drivers' press conference which was being broadcast live.
