ABU DHABI, Dec 9 (Bernama-PA Media/dpa) -- Max Verstappen will help out with a grassroots racing programme in Rwanda as his penalty for swearing during a press conference in Singapore, reported German news agency dpa.
The Dutchman, who clinched his fourth Formula One drivers' title last month, was ordered to carry out a "work of public interest" after being penalised by the stewards for his language during an FIA press conference in September.
Verstappen will travel to the Rwandan capital Kigali for the FIA awards ceremony next week and it is there he will undertake the work.
An FIA statement read on Sunday: "While in Kigali he will undertake some work with junior competitors as part of the grassroots development programme organised by the Rwanda Automobile Club (RAC).
"The activity will involve an FIA affordable cross car, which was built locally in Rwanda by the RAC from blueprints provided by the FIA."
The F1 season wrapped up in Abu Dhabi on Sunday as McLaren won the constructors' title.
