Formula 1 star Max Verstappen is penalized after swearing during a press conference in Singapore in September.

Verstappen, who secured his fourth World Championship title in a row in Las Vegas at the end of November, will help with a grassroots program in Rwanda as a penalty for his words.

This has been decided by the international automobile federation, Fia.

The Dutch driver is traveling to Rwanda's capital Kigali for a Fia prize ceremony on Friday and it is there that he will perform the work.

"While he is in Kigali, he will work with junior competitors as part of the grassroots development program organized by the Rwanda Automobile Club," says Fia in a statement.
