Verstappen serves first day of community service punishment

Max Verstappen attended this weekend's Formula E race in Morocco as part of the punishment handed down to him for an altercation with Esteban Ocon at last year's Brazilian Grand Prix.

The FIA said Verstappen was at the Marrakesh E-Prix -- the second race of the all-electric series' current season -- "as an observer to the stewards, closely following their work at a top-level international motor sport event as part of the educational and informative approach taken by the FIA in this matter".

The Red Bull driver was told by the sport's governing body he must serve two days of community service for pushing Ocon multiple times after the Force India driver had punted him out of the lead of the race last November.
