Formula One points leader Max Verstappen was ordered to "accomplish some work of public interest" after uttering an inappropriate word Thursday at the news conference ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix.

The punishment was handed down by the FIA -- the governing body of F1 -- after stewards reviewed the audio tape and found the word he used to describe his car as offensive and in violation of FIA policies.
