Red Bull's Max Verstappen has been given two days of community service by the FIA as a punishment for shoving Esteban Ocon after the Brazilian Grand Prix in the paddock.
The Dutchman was furious with Ocon after the Grand Prix, with Ocon spinning Verstappen around during the race when the Dutchman was trying to lap him. It cost Verstappen the lead and eventually the win, with Lewis Hamilton overtaking the pair as they spun around.
As a result, Verstappen shoved Ocon several times when the Dutchman confronted him, something which the stewards have no tolerance for.
Verstappen will serve two days of community service within the next six months.
